Olivia

The man I love.

She asked, do you remember a few years ago when all that Title IX shit happened?

And I said, yes.

And she was like, well, all of it was true.

I offered to be a witness if she wanted me to be.

There were seven plaintiffs in our lawsuit, me and Miranda, our professor that was my faculty liaison, and then several other girls, including Morgan, who had experienced sexual harassment or like inappropriate behavior, retaliation from Cato.

It was originally that professor's idea to start the lawsuit because after Title IX did nothing and she was still working there, she didn't lose her job, but pretty much lost her job over it.

We met with the attorney and again, we felt like this person really wants to help us.

She felt confident that the case was really strong.

Miranda felt really good about having a new chance at getting some sort of resolution to this.

But that process was genuinely fucking humiliating.

It was so awful.

Essentially, what ended up happening was the lawsuit got filed.

It got picked up by the media.

It was everywhere.

His face was on the news.

And it was being shared by everybody that we knew from college, not from college.

And there were a couple...

articles that were being shared that like names weren't redacted.

And so for Miranda, she felt really mortified because we knew that it would be in the press, but we didn't understand how that would feel.
