24 years ago, a singer in a band sexually assaulted my husband and his best friend when they were 13 and 14 years old. They were unwilling participants, and the events have affected both of them drastically.
For years, even though the events were well known, it was thought of as a “cool story.” It wasn’t.
Recently, this singer came out with her own allegations of rape against another artist, and has since gone on a crusade of victim advocacy, encouraging others to speak out about their abuse. My husband’s friend, who was deeply affected, snapped, and called her out on what she did to them.
Since then, her and her husband have stalked us through social media, sending us threats and trying to dismiss the accusations, attacking anyone who questions them.
I’m usually a passive person.. usually.
However, this has floored me.
I have snapped.
