Yeah, at the very least she needs security and lawyers. 20K is little enough to endanger her life.

…On the other hand, she's an influencer farming attention. And not in a good way. That cuts a lot of my empathy short.

How the hell is exposing weird shit an evil person says and his bribes to give you hush money "farming attention?" You're victim blaming.

Look at her social media posting history. Look at her published book:

BRAVE Books and Ashley St. Clair partnered to write "Elephants Are Not Birds," a Christian, Conservative children's book that tackles the topic of gender identity. In the book, children will learn that boys are not girls, and Elephants Are Not Birds.

I retract/regret what I said… I didn’t mean to victim blame. This sucks for her and she doesn’t deserve one bit of it, nor does her abuser deserve any sympathy. She deserves empathy.

But she also appears to have made a living peddling (IMO) hate far and wide. I am struggling to express/process how I feel about that… it’s a tragic irony, I guess? And frustration at that whole ecosystem she was in (which Musk is at the very tippy top of).

For sure, nobody smart would take the deal with Musk. Only a dumb hateful person. But dumb hateful people still deserve safety and honesty, even if they don't dole it out.

Work is work, but yea calling attention to herself is pretty dumb NGL.

How does one say they've been the victim of something without drawing attention to themselves??

[–] misteloct@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

My bad, she did not draw attention to herself whatsoever. In fact she hid in secrecy for months until he didn't uphold his end of the agreement.
