On the day of the rape, Mayella Ewell wasn't actually raped as the whole story is an elaborate lie. Her entire life she was looked down upon and humiliated by her drunkard father and the only person who seemed to notice her was Tom Robinson, the alleged rapist, however he was just being friendly. On the day of the rape he was helping around her property when she called him inside and wanted to kiss him. Her father saw this and beat her up, making her say at court that it was actually done by Tom Robinson, who raped her, and thus she got injured.
