So that day that it got picked up, I was at work and I saw the email from our attorney and texted Miranda.

She was also at work and we both left, immediately came to my house.

I have never seen Miranda like that in my life.

It was horrifying.

heartbreaking.

That whole day and like weeks that followed, it would bubble up every now and again where people would start sharing it.

Bunches of people dropped out and they were having meetings about it and protests.

It was a whole thing.

It was hard because I think she felt in a lot of ways that all these people that weren't even her friends in college suddenly now

cared so much about it but never cared to like reach out or say anything whenever they noticed that he was inappropriate with her but also just having your most intimately traumatizing experience publicized like that with your name on it was something that I don't think that she could have ever prepared for or really any of us could have ever prepared for and as a friend watching her experience that it's almost like there was nothing that I could say to make that better for her

And we were all dealing with it in our own way because everybody's name was on it.

But the details that she shared were a lot different than the details everybody else had shared.

It was a really isolating time for all of the people involved, but especially for Miranda.

No, not really.

I think Miranda did.

But I kind of went ghost whenever this all happened.

Like my way of dealing with it has been, I just want it to be over.

It was really hard.

And most of why it was hard for me, honestly, was because seeing Miranda like that was really difficult.

And I just wanted whatever resolution was going to be best for everybody.
