Overnight, I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one. I was Patient Zero.

Public shaming is a blood sport that has to stop.

Getting and keeping my immunity became very important to me. For I needed to take care of myself and my family. No one else was worried about me.

I chose to not wear a wire and tape people. I chose to not get immunity until - were accepted, whatever - until the independent counsel's office was comfortable with what I said was the truth.

Constructive criticism is legitimate, but when it escalates to vitriol, it affects us all, because celebrities and influencers are part of the collective consciousness.

It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress.

Building a more compassionate society is going to be a bilateral exercise between individuals and the brands that represent their aspirations, their values and their truths. People make brands. If people are compassionate, brands will be compassionate in return.
