I just saw Ben Pasternak’s video. I wasn’t planning to speak publicly, but hearing experiences that felt familiar made staying silent feel wrong. I was in a relationship with Evelyn years before Ben. During that relationship, I experienced things that were consistent with parts of what Ben described. Including physical violence. When our relationship ended, a version of events was shared publicly that did not fully reflect my experience. At the time, I chose not to respond. I made that decision for several reasons: I wanted to protect her, I didn’t want to turn a private situation into something public, and I was young and didn’t fully know how to handle the situation. I’m not here to revisit the past in detail or to speak for anyone else. I’m only sharing this to clarify that my experience and truth did not fully align with the narrative that had been presented. I stayed quiet for a long time for my own reasons. Speaking now is simply about being honest about what I experienced. Some of what was shared in the video was new information to me, and I’d like to process privately. I’m also sorry for what Ben went through. I hope he has the support he needs.
