She tweeted;
I told my husband about my sexual assault case. & he blamed me for it. he called me a hypocrite & told me I put myself in that position, ”I knew better”
& I shouldn’t have been there, that I shouldn’t have been drinking. We’ll be divorced in July. This is why we don’t report.
it’s just crazy because the one person I thought would be there for me turned out to be the complete opposite.
