@laurenashtangayoga | think it's
overly vague, doesn't identify Taylor
Hunt, and doesn't speak to other
levels of abuse beyond sexual. It's a
nothing statement and I fear that it's
meant to preempt further
conversation. I don't trust that it's in
good faith by everyone who signed it. I
would wonder if the people who have
come forward are pleased with it. It is
so tone deaf. I can't imagine that they
are.
