Didn't she leave about two years ago?
It seems she didn't speak out both because she thought she had an NDA and also because she was getting lots of harassment anyways and didn't want to add to it while in a bad place.
Yes of course but my point was: what's to say that nothing has changed since then?
Yes, she expands on why she didn't feel safe speaking out
"Not a good look" should be the least of her concerns if she was indeed sexually harassed.
This looks a lot like victim blaming.
If the alleged facts are indeed true, it is incredibly difficult to even manage to get the police to care, let alone act. Not to mention the social stigma and the trauma.
Given the number of people involved, other people might be compelled to come forward. Then we will know for sure.
You can't really believe it is that easy. Filing a police report is, in most countries, an excruciating exercise in frustration and humiliation for women victims of harassment. It carries social stigma on a level that is astounding. Add to this the level of gaslighting usually deployed by abusers and you have a recipe for self censorship.
Yes, actually.
Are you a professional sexually harassed person? Do you understand what is the right course of action to take here?
She was getting a lot of harassment from ltt fand and was scared of making it worse. Also, she was under the impression she was under an NDA thst prevented her from speaking out.
Yeah, but a ton of people don't know that, which is what she said.
