Some people know that I walked (crashed) out of my career in broadcast because I was raped by an ex-boyfriend who was also a colleague.

There's a lot of conversation this week about men in entertainment and sexual misconduct. I never felt justified in 'warning' people or employers because in my case, he didn't abuse his position per se. He just abused me. I explicitly said no and he did it anyway.

I always thought that my personal misfortunes didn't necessarily justify his career or rep being affected. In fact, I was so scared of doing that it took me years to tell anyone, which I later learned is a very easy way to make everything worse lol

These are from my first doctors appointment in hospital in Jan 2023 when I thought i'd k*ll myself if I didn't tell someone. At the time I was angry that the doctor asked me if he wanted me to call the police, bc he was a public figure and I didn't want to disrupt that

He actually never denied it either, but for a long time I felt like that meant he must actually be a great person and that it was a silly mistake he'd made and I owed it to him to keep quiet. But I eventually realised it didn't mean much.

When we made contact years later and I tried to tell him how much his actions had ruined me, he basically said he felt the same way because he was stressed about having to sell his $1.7m house in LA.

When I finally told him to never contact to me again (about a year ago), he still, somehow, made it about himself.

From my journal in the couple of days before that. It really took four years to get to this point that I could be this angry and blunt about it.

I still don't know if he's a risk to other people. There was no blurred line here. I explicitly said I don't want to have sex and he took it upon himself to drag me by the ankle down the bed to do it anyway. I lost at least four years of my life and career to that decision.

I had fights so severe with people around me due to my emotional volatility that I lost two of my best friends in the world and made enemies of my closest family members. I did PTSD therapy four times before making any progress at all.
11
I was so 'triggered' by being in the television world still that I haemorraged multiple tens of thousands of savings just to pay my rent while I was really too unwell to work.

This happened in a hotel room that had been paid for by his then-employer @riotgames. Did I have a responsibility to tell them? They were my then-employer too. I don't know. Genuinely. It wasn't their fault or their problem and I was scared.
13
For years, staying in hotel rooms for work would literally give me flashbacks. In 2024 it was still happening, but really that was the last year I took any work that required me to travel. So I stopped facing it after that.

I'm still scared tbh. Life has been much better in 2026 but I still struggle with knowing that the last five years got kind of destroyed. I don't know if it's my right or place to speak up when it was a 'personal' issue and not a professional one.

He is (or at least was) very popular and was genuinely nice to work with and probably left a lot of people with a good impression. He was also a careless egotist who wanted to aggrandise himself, and being a dickhead isn't a crime but in my case he did commit one.

I do stand by women who've been pushed out of their entertainment careers due to this stuff because I get it. I didn't know what to do either and I was too unwell to figure out how to be brave. This is my attempt bc I'm inspired by those who have been.
