"It’s important for me to say that I never chose this. I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed," she added. "The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways in which women are re-victimized when they come forward. Now I finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something I attempted to leave over six years ago and on terms I can agree to. I have made no admission., this is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward."
