“My daughter told me yesterday morning when I dropped her at school, and I was like, I'm so nervous. And she's like, Mom, this will be like therapy for you. You can do it. I was like, oh, thank you”

“Allowing me to talk about it. This today. I do have to say, if I can interrupt it, I'm sorry at the center of the trauma for me is how Women have treated me, and it was really scary to come here and sit in the center of a room full of primarily women just kind of looking at me like this is really, really terrifying. But I have to say, I do feel a lot of warmth in the room, so I want to thank the people here. This was”

“I'm being deadly serious on this. I have a real need to try to. Understand and have empathy for people that are hurting. And I'm feeling so much hurt that I can't fix it, but I would love to understand that that would help me heal too, to better understand why people are so angry.”

“That's been the biggest thing for me. And I Don't know, I wish I could fix it. I wish I could understand. And honestly, I'd love to sit with some of these women that are so angry at me and really listen and try to understand what it is about me or what could I have, what would they like to have seen, I don't know. I'd love to have a real conversation about what it is that makes me so angry.”

“Absolutely. I mean, it made everything in that moment and for ensuing days or weeks, it made everything harder. It made it a lot harder for my kids too. I think when a celebrity gets involved like that, that's their teenagers, like I said, they know who she is. They know. And it just added to it in a way that was so unnecessary. But people have their own needs, and I can't speculate as to what those are. So it happened, and I can just”

“Yeah, that was really disappointing to me. I felt like Gwyneth, someone whose company is founded on or framed around uplifting women and women's well-being. And she doesn't need the money. I don't know why she felt she needed to throw gas on the fire and get involved in all of this. It just felt really hypocritical to me and unnecessary. And I think I don't want to let Ryan Reynolds off the hook either. He produced the ad, he created it, and his wife has just gone through something really similar over the last year. And I find it really kind of astounding that he thought this was a great way to lead.”

“Yeah, I just think we're holding each other back. Like, let's stop. And I think it's a conversation that needs to be had over and over right now. Like, what is going on with us as a gender? We take such pleasure in holding each other back and hurting each other.”

“Yeah, I want people to know that I'm just a regular person. I'm a private person. I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask to be famous. And I have no experience dealing with all of this. And I'm just a mom that takes my kids to school and picks them up at practices and tries to juggle work where I was work and parenting and I'm someone's daughter and sister and friend. Really want people to understand what happened and what harm it does to real people's lives when you mindlessly fuel a fire like this. It's incredibly dangerous. And I'm so grateful I have the tools I have that I can sit here and talk about it because so many people don't make it through it. And it's tragic. And I just want people to just be kind. And I, you know, it sounds especially women.”

“Not great, but a lot less interesting to the general public, I think. Yeah, a lot less. And I think I do think Chris Martin being a celebrity and that adding to it I think helped with this thing going viral for sure. I think when you bring a celebrity into the mix with private people, I think it gives it more.”

“Because I felt, like I said in the beginning, I can't stay silent and accept what has happened. And I do feel like it's important that people understand the real story and also how harmful it is to just make assumptions and judge and feed and fuel something that created this narrative.”

“Was dating John F. Kennedy Jr. and Jackie O said people are going to write horrible things about you, but don't worry about it. It'll be lining a bird cage tomorrow. The newspapers will be lining bird cages. Don't worry. And she wrote, I quote, this was from on the 6th of March, in the digital age, stories do not disappear. Yesterday's news is not tossed out with the morning paper and lies live online forever. They are archived, streamed, clipped, memed, and resurfaced endlessly. A dramatized portrayal can become, for millions of viewers, the definitive version of a real person's life.”

“That's right. Yeah. I actually brought, I wanted to share a quote if I could from that. I don't know if anyone has, if you haven't read her essay in the New York Times this past week, it's a beautifully written piece, but it struck me deeply. And there was a part where she talks about how Jackie Onassis used to say to her, like, there's going to be horrible things in the news. It's going to, you know.”

“I know what that's like, or That's right. I did that. I reached out to a family. There was a girl who was, I don't know if you heard about this, she was four years old receiving zillions of death threats because she was helping her dad, who's a radio personality, pick out football teams. And she started to miss the mark on the choices, and people started threatening her life because she was screwing up their gambling publicly. They were threatening this four-year-old girl. And I reached out to her family, and they were lovely. And I mean, it's so scary what they're going through. I mean, it's just, it's happening all the time.”

“I'm heartbroken at how women are treating other women. I want to, one thing I don't know the answer to yet, but it's like, how can my experience turn into something positive to keep that conversation alive and try to figure out why are we doing this to each other? We're so much stronger together. Why are we eating each other alive?”

“Here to teach you. Yeah, I mean, that's the million dollar question. I think about that every single day. And I do believe like. I got knocked off my course for a reason. Like, there's something to learn here. And there's bits and pieces that are coming into the light for me. I'm really understanding, and I had no concept of this, how when something goes this viral, how the technology companies are benefiting from this and how we don't know that when we are forwarding and liking and clicking, we are putting billions of dollars in their pockets.”

“I mean, the entire trajectory of this would have changed if he would have just made a quick statement to say my wife and I were separated at the time of the concert. Just like my husband did. But it didn't matter when it was great that Andrew did that, but it also, I was still left with the tone change a little bit. Okay, so she was separated, but he wasn't, so she's still a home wrecker.”

“Absolutely. Zero doubt. Zero doubt. But I was left holding the bag and I don't, you know. Being the one that was attacked for this, he's remained silent. To me, that's not a quality that I would look for on a friend or a partner or a boss. So we have no relationship with him.”

“Right. I tried to explain to them what you described. I think I'm representative of something that touches on a lot of fear in people. And I didn't know, you know, I was trying to figure it out myself. I wish I could have showed up for them in better ways than I did, but I did the best I could do in those moments. It was really hard. Going back to school for them was really hard. They didn't want me on their campuses for the first semester or trimester. So I missed, you know, I didn't go to games. I didn't go to parent conferences. I couldn't go to parents weekend at my son's school. But the schools were wonderful. I worked with them closely to make sure the kids were supported. And like I said, their friends were great.”

“Life as usual, as best I could after maybe the first month. And we tried to just get back to it, like go to the beach, like try to do some normal things. It was hard because people were not shy to come up to me in front of my kids. And I had a group of women that I was at my son's where he works. He works at a surf shop at the beach near our house and a group of women surrounded my car. And in front of my son and started to, you know, harass me verbally and kind of make it hard for me to move my car away from where they were. And it was hard to explain that to my kids. They were really lucky to have their peers show up for them in a really supportive way, but they were struck by how horrific grown-ups were acting. And that's a really hard thing for me to explain to kids that, you know, why, because I didn't even know they did.”

“It was tough. I mean, we had a lot of conversation in the beginning, though. I mean, I was not momming to the best of my abilities. I was pretty broken down. We had, for better or worse, we had a lot of family visiting last summer. I had a lot of people staying at my house. My brother and his family, a lot of guests. So I tried to kind of pivot to just like.”

“And by the way, that doesn't include social media. That's just the internet. How wild did it get on? I don't know how wild it got on social, but I think it was wilder than just like the different tabloid websites. But that $300 billion is on the websites alone. It's really disturbing”

And had I been the 25-year-old version of myself, I would not be sitting here. There's no way”

“Whole entire narrative to be written that takes that away from me felt Just gutted me in a way that I can't explain. So it was really that one. I think obviously being called all these horrible names, it hurts. I have a friend that said to me recently, like, why would you take criticism from people you would not take advice from? And that really hit home for me. And I thought about it. I'm like, it's a great point. But I did.”

“Get out of bed. Yeah, it was, and there's actually a few, but the one that just came to mind first was the piece around sleeping my way to the top at work I've worked in advertising and technology, which are really male dominated industries, and I've spent my entire career fighting against the stereotype of, you know, I must be sleeping with someone. And I've been so intentional about how I move through my work life. I've never been involved with anyone I've worked with before. I have been working since I was 13. And, you know, my mom had us out really legally working early on. I never stopped and my career was my identity. For better or worse, and this has been a wake-up call around that. But that was my, I had tremendous pride in what I had built. I love what I do. And for that to be”

I've got it, you know, until I'm good, but they've always been, they're really sweet and. Empathic people. So they really like they're always kind of keeping an eye and making sure I'm okay. So this kind of elevated all of that.”

“They did, and they heard one of the death threats. Kids asked me not to spend too much time talking about them today, but I'm comfortable talking about portions of it, and that's one of them. They were terrified for me. They're really protective of me, but they were also really scared for what this meant for all of us We're not used to having, we're really private.”

“I had people trespassing and looking in my windows. We had people doing drivebys and yelling and honking. We had my children home. Yes, with my children home. My phone was ringing around the clock and just vile text messages and voicemails. That's probably a couple days in when the death threat started. But they were also just perverse, disgusting messages. I got emails constantly.”

“In a few days, as you had been told, as I had been told. That definitely didn't happen. But I came back to my house that was a place that was really like my safe space as your home typically is. And it became a place that was. As unsafe as any place could be because a local radio station gave out my address on the air. And for whatever reason, the whole world has access to my phone number. And I guess I don't know how people do that. So from that day I returned, there was, well, there was paparazzi there for weeks. They wouldn't leave. There was”

“I mean. Yeah, it was dark. The first weekend after the concert, I rented an Airbnb and went up to the mountains in New Hampshire with my dog, thinking I was just going to let it blow over and come back. I really didn't understand because I cut off all access to the internet and social media and everything. I went away thinking, oh, it was sort of like the beginning of COVID when you're like, we'll close the office for the week and we'll see in a week. And then you're like see you in two years. It was sort of like that. I thought I'll just go disappear for the weekend. But when I came back.”

“Yes and no. I felt tremendous guilt for the effect it was having on my family and I felt responsible for that. But I did not, I knew what really happened and I didn't feel shame for something I didn't do. I wasn't questioning myself. I knew the mistake I made. I was really clear on what that was, but I was also really clear that it doesn't deserve the treatment that I got. It doesn't deserve being made to feel that you should die.”

“Yeah, we were at the local pool. This was a few weeks after I decided it was probably in later August when I felt like safe, I tried going out, you know, tried to go out. My daughter and I went to the pool, big hack glasses, all the things. A woman at the pool started taking our picture in a really not subtle way. And my daughter just, she just lost it. And she's like, we need to just leave. And I was like, I'm so sorry. And I didn't, you know, I was not in a position. It's funny, the version of me before this concert, I would have marched right up to her and graft her. I mean, I'm not a shrinking violet, but I became a very... Different version of myself, and I just we packed up and left. Do you think that?”

“Not that, but this notion of women stealing men, like I would walk in and duct tape and zip tie a guy and unwittingly drag him out and steal, like the man has no role in this. This is, you know, and for me I was the face of all of this. There was no one talking about Andy's hair, shirt, watch. There was no one questioning. I mean, maybe anyone here can correct me. I never read or heard anything about... Wow, did he become a CEO by sleeping his way to the top? No. And that's all anyone would say about me. It was unfathomable that I might have achieved and worked and hustled and built a career I'm incredibly proud of. That was not on the table.”

“Children, no. And I mean, just thinking about starting from the very beginning, I was every single part of my physical appearance was picked apart. There were stories written about jewelry I was wearing and who bought it for me and how much it cost when one of my best friends as a jewelry designer and I've bought everything for myself that she made me. And it's, you know, my hairdresser, somebody found, and that turned into a whole thing where she was dragged for giving me crappy highlights. And she got lit up for that. And just everything about how I looked, to how I was dressed, to how I behaved, to, you know, sleeping my way to the top, to the gold digger, to this, you know, all the words that Lisa used, the husband stealer, which by the way, that expression really bugs me. And I'm not trying to make light, obviously, of adultery.”

And at work, I've been really intentional about the women that work with and for me, like bringing them along in their career, giving opportunity, mentoring, and helping them. It's just not, it was such a shock to me. I think I was told that 90% of the online comments and hate came from women.

They're not going to believe what you say. Your best bet is to stay quiet, keep your head down, and then let some time pass and then speak up. This is not my world. I don't know. And I really believed what she said. And I guess it makes sense. I could tell that there was so much hate. I thought maybe that is better.”

I felt in the initial moments, I'm sure it was funny to people. You know, I can appreciate that. I've certainly seen funny things online and forwarded them around and clicked on them.

“Well, that's the problem. I mean, that was the conversation I had with them. Had it not gone so viral and gotten so toxic, I would have gone back in and taken the punch and stood up in front of the company and said, you know, I'm a human. I made a really poor choice, but we're building something incredible and like, let's get back to it and hope that they would be okay with that. But that was not an option. I did not feel like I could go in and say, hey, everybody, like do as I say, but not as I do. And I felt like it would put everybody in such a bad situation. It just wasn't fair to the employees. I appreciated that the board was behind me and I appreciated, you know, they did go through an HR investigation and it yielded nothing. And I appreciated that at least internally there, I got that support, but it wasn't viable. It wasn't fair to ask the employees of it.”
