Has been raped by Tom Robinson.(Not 100% sure)
Bob and Mayella Ewell are members of the notoriously awful Ewell family that live in Maycomb. Bob Ewell is the Ewell patriarch and is mean, drunken, racist, and uneducated. He knows full well that Tom Robinson is innocent, but accuses him of rape anyway to benefit his own social standing.
Mayella Violet Ewell is a character in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. She is the daughter of Bob Ewell and plays a key role in the trial of Tom Robinson. Mayella accuses Tom Robinson of raping her, but Atticus Finch, the defense lawyer, exposes her false accusations. Mayella represents the prejudice and power dynamics that exist in the society of Maycomb.
Mayella reacts with anger and defensiveness when Atticus questions her during the trial. Her reaction reveals her insecurity and vulnerability, as well as her fear of being exposed for lying about Tom Robinson's actions. Mayella's behavior also demonstrates her deep-seated prejudice and her willingness to scapegoat an innocent man.

He knew her somewhat well, since he passed her house quite often.
Here are 3 examples:She acquainted, very well, with her neighbor.Why haven't you acquainted with her yet?Don't be shy to be acquainted with him.
Scout assumed Mrs. Merriweather was referring to Mayella because she was discussing the importance of forgiving and forgetting, Miss Maudie quickly clarified that Mrs. Merriweather was probably talking about the Missionary Circle members who had slighted her. This misconception highlights Scout's tendency to view situations through her own limited perspective.
