I hadn’t even heard several of these before now, which sadly means some people’s stories are getting a bit lost in all the noise. It’s important though for us to hear them and to treat each new story with the same care and support for the teller, with the same disgust and disdain for the abuser. It’s too easy to let one story slip through the cracks. And then another. And then another. That’s part of how we ended up here in the first place. For each person who comes forward, there is no letting it slip through the cracks, and opening up about it takes incredible courage. Whether their abusers are Hollywood elite or someone we’ve never heard of, whether they’re the first ones to come forward or the fiftieth, we have to be sure that each and every voice is heard.
