“Everyone was drunk. He broke in to the bathroom I was in. I hoped it was a dream but my ripped tights in the morning proved otherwise. I thought no one would believe me.
“I didn’t want to be called dramatic. After all I didn’t say no. Shock can do that to a person. #believewomen #metoo #ibelieveher.”
The 27-year-old also showed her support for Christine and other women who have accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct by tweeting: “I believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. I believe Deborah Ramirez. I believe Julie Swetnick.”
“There is no path forward for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. #BelieveSurvivors #TIMESUP.”
