"It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along," Fifield wrote Friday morning. "The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life."

Fifield says she came forward with her story despite the risk of "psychotic doxxing from violent leftist activists," because the "guilty of staying silent" had "nagged" her.
