Thanks for having Sammy! He is so incredible at helping us in our fight against abuse.

[@GarethHoustonFlute]

It was my pleasure, I'm delighted he agreed to come on. He's superb ❤

[@wildflute]

Thank you for having Sammy on to share his experience finding the story. I think it was really interesting to note that he says that investigative reporters are the last to know about situations which speaks to how deep and problematic the hush-culture is against victims of any kind.

Super interesting point actually; I found that fascinating myself. Although unfortunately not surprising; there’s many open secrets in performing arts institutions

Any body language expert will tell you that Sammie’s upward inflections on giving the “story” indicate that he is clearly unsure or even purposefully lying about what he is saying.

HAHAHAHA Mate, take the tin foil hat off

[@wildflute]

What absolute twaddle. He has vigorous rules he needs to follow and the New York Magazine would not print his story without his having done his proper research. Lawd, you are reaching with this and to what end, are you telling us that the women of classical music are lying? What on earth would an investigative reporter gain from lying? Further more he does nothing but state facts that he uncovered in his investigation, he shared no opinions, just what he found. What’s your skin in this game? (unfortunate play on words intended) Are you afraid you’re next in the crosshairs? Go off.

@@GarethHoustonFlute I ain’t your “Mate”. Don’t patronize me. If I were the husband, and my wife went to a guy's condo after midnight without telling me where she was going, only mentioning her phone is dying, then turning off her phone for the whole night, I would be furious. The motive is too strong for lying. I wouldn't be surprised if she had to insert a ta*pon the next morning to collect the man's DNA to prove her claim. Additionally, the fact that the police department's drug test results were all negative at the time, and 7-8 months later she conducted her own test for GHB, raises questions about the credibility of the evidence regardless what that result was. Moreover, the other woman who was her strongest character witness back then is now her lover and life partner? Any logical person can see how flawed the story is. It's astonishing how public opinion can be so easily manipulated.

[@StJohnLara]

That's so idiotic. Also untrue.

Read the article so no view but good for you covering the situation.
