1/ Thank you everyone for your resounding support. I’m still simmering with anger, for myself and the other women involved, and especially for the women who did not consent to their experiences being publicly shared.

2/ I’m taking care of myself & not allowing this to own me. However, I hope our community won’t let them slink back in. We have to make our spaces safer. We have to recognize the power dynamics in our industry, and we have to protect and support each other.

3/ OFW once fostered a thriving community which Pete and Sam are now actively working to fracture. It’s abhorrent what they’re attempting to do. We can’t let them gaslight us. Our community must have zero tolerance for this behavior, or this cycle of abuse will continue.

4/ This can’t be done unless the men in our community step up and continue to denounce this dangerous behavior. Esp the “nice guys” who think this doesn’t concern them. Where are you? Why are you tolerating this? Why aren’t you angry on behalf of these women? Where are you?

5/ I really need to hustle this week to make ends meet, so I may take a few days away SM to recoup & refocus. I won’t be leaving this community though, despite their efforts to demean, shame, and intimidate me. I’m not going anywhere. I’m more determined to rise above than ever.
