Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

Look, Madison probably talked to someone about it while it was occurring, but we're not part of her personal support group. We don't have that privilege and that's ok

But we're privy to the rest of the rant? HR or the local authorities should have been the first step. Not waiting [duration] and then shitposting.

Weak.

You'd be surprised how many women don't come forward with harassment, sexual harassment, even sexual assault cases. We often think, unfortunately, that the system is not on our side. It's not weakness, more like mistrust and fear of being re-victimised.
