– Said I did it for money (Larry’s attorneys said the same thing)
– Accused me of being a “pawn” who was “paraded out” in support of legislative reform (reform I initiated on my own, which no one at MSU seems to believe)
– Leveraged every ounce of political weight and pressure to stand against me, these women, and every survivor in the state to stop this reform
– Decided to “go play golf” instead of dealing with the worst sexual assault scandal on campus
– Lied and told survivors I met with John Engler and made monetary demands (Engler actually refused multiple times to meet with me)
– Spent 500k in ONE MONTH alone monitoring my husband’s social media and the social media of other survivors
– Said we are “ruining the state” and “have to be stopped”
