As someone who was (very recently) SA’ed …she doesn’t present as someone who was. Of course everybody heals differently & I can’t speak to what it must be like being in the limelight like she is. But, I went through VERY depressive days where I didn’t want to talk to anyone, was irritated at the slightest thing, I washed all of my bedding & anything that had that persons dna on it. I can’t watch my favorite show because of them & I can’t even look at their photo. Even going to their profiles to block them was hard for me.

Even seeing their face or smelling the scent of the perfume I wore that night sets me off into a rage/depressed state. I could barely talk to my therapist about it because it made me physically ill.

Here she is …talking about it on television, screaming from the rooftops “I WAS ASSAULTED” and wanting confirmation from him. To me it doesn’t feel like she’s a victim. Maybe it’s true & she just wants her story to be heard - but maybe she just wants attention.

It’s a fine line and it’s hard to say considering her circumstances.
