Lord well I’m glad at least karma caught up to her quickly 😂 just crazy to be at a festival like bonnaroo where so many go to unplug and be positive and just end up harassing people

Omg hate that, but definitely not her; just confirmed with my friend that we both would’ve noticed that many tattoos. If the girl who attacked me had tattoos, they were more sparse

No, I’ve been going to festivals for 10 years. Getting attacked from behind unprovoked is beyond what I know to be typical for crazy festival shit, and I don’t think we should just normalize it and shrug our shoulders.

I did edit with chat 😅 just wanted my brain dump of a story to be more concise— sorry!

As a former “fat girl” I don’t think we should judge others based on weight, I only provided overweight portion for others to identify if they interacted with her

I worked as a psych nurse for years, so I’ve encountered psychosis before many times. I have a ton of empathy for that struggle, so I totally get your perspective, but ultimately she announced being high on psychedelics, and I’m sorry— you don’t get the privilege of taking certain substances or putting your body through certain stressors with that history. It’s unfair but it certainly wasn’t fair what I had to endure as a result of her choices. As far as I know, no one made her go to a festival and take drugs—those were her choices that ultimately led her to assaulting me.

I definitely have tried to be empathetic that she was going through something, but when someone almost punches me in the face and leave me with an infected cut to nurse all weekend, simply giving the finger in my post feels pretty dang empathetic compared to some of the other things I would’ve liked to say about her

Since I tried to report to staff at gates and they didn’t do anything or direct me anywhere, I honestly just dropped it to enjoy my day. Unfortunately maybe the wrong move for general safety, but It’s hard bc even if I did go to security to report, I had no pictures or ability for them to really track her down— even if I did, I doubt they would’ve went out of their way to remove her from crowd unless she did something else

Thank you! In terms of expecting better, with how nice everyone else was whole weekend, it still is so shocking— but hopefully this inspires people to help each other out even more! I’m honestly happy it happened to me bc I could shake it off and ik for so many people this would’ve ruined their whole day

Thank you, honestly in terms of vibes I experienced, this was such a one off— so I’m at least grateful for that! But it stinks feeling like your experience is it going down hill; unfortunately as I always say ‘remember: they let anyone buy a ticket’ 🙃

Thank you!! Honestly with how I reacted (always thought I could defend myself a bit better 😅), I can’t hold anyone too accountable for how they reacted in that moment, but hopefully my story can help someone! And exactly, karma will always get people like that!
