I have seen some of the resurfaced tweets. They are dark, disturbing, unacceptable, and the exact kind of behaviour I’ve spoken against for years. Nothing about what has unfolded is trivial or entertaining. It has sat heavily with me. It has made my mouth bitter and my belly ache. I believe in creating safer communities and my stance has not changed. I have always opposed every form of rape culture — in words, in behaviour, in the excuses people make for it. That commitment doesn’t dissolve because someone I know is implicated. If anything, it strengthens my resolve. This period has also been a reminder for me: no friendship, no history, no sentiment outweighs my principles. I do not excuse or defend what I read. I do not align myself with it. I abhor it, I spit on it, I forbid it. My loyalty has always been to my values and that does not shift based on public pressure or private relationships. I will always choose accountability, honesty and growth over silence or defensiveness. And I will continue using my voice against every form of harm whether it be online, offline, in language, or in action.
