"I was used to people hurling things at me in the middle of the night in a cocaine rage"

Ooof In Esme Bianco's article, Brian's personal assistant mentioned how hated being alone and surrounded by people and cocaine! So Dita has seen this!

"All OP can think is "...¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

I don't mind if she doesn't wanna talk about her issues at this time because it's a lot and coming out is never easy. While reading Esme Bianco's account it took her a long time to come to terms with everything that happened to her.

Besides there's been many times victims go into a denial state when they say nothing happened to them even when evidence/rumors say otherwise. I'm not interested in forcing people's hand. They came out when they want to and if they want to.

Rose McGowan also mentions that there was a lot of cocaine in their relationship in old interviews.

My ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ was mostly towards some of the critique she faced from her imperfect statement.

Clearly something happened, and she has a right to not talk about it. However, I feel that these excerpts kind of help explain why the statement she gave wasn’t perfect. There’s a lot to unpack and she has to reconcile with and even though it was 15 years ago, she still has a lot of complex issues with everything that happened.

I admit I find it weird that she got out and is now “okay” with him, but as someone who was almost raped by a male friend and then dated him AFTER that incident and dealt with emotional abuse afterwards, I get the weirdness. Trauma is so, so confusing and you do and say things that come off as callous or cold or disturbing but really you have so many complex emotions surrounding everything, that you don’t even know which way is up anymore.

So I just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ‘d

Apart from the fact he’s an abusive piece of shit, that article showed how pathetic his lifestyle is: blackout curtains drawn all day, awake all night, cocaine and absinthe for “breakfast”. He’s like some 16 year old’s idea of what a ~hardcore rockstar life is, except he’s in his 50s.

Or maybe, having reckoned with the relationship in her own way on her own time, she’s finally in a good place. Maybe exposing the horrible minutia of their relationship to public scrutiny seems like a step backward. I don’t think she’s denying it. I think she’s purposely removing herself from the story, because, for her, restorative justice has already happened. She’s allowed to do that.

Instead of projecting our own experiences of abuse into her, let’s actually listen and think critically about what she’s saying. imo The most telling part of that statement is the last one. “This is my sole statement on this matter. Thank you for respecting this request.” aka, “I’ve made my peace. I’m not going to cut open healed wounds to satisfy strangers’ curiosity. Now, stop asking me about the man I divorced 15 years ago.”

I completely agree, except for her comment about how she wouldn't have married someone like that. I think that is a bit victim-blamey.

But, I don't think she needs to comment or be involved if she doesn't want to.
