Knowing the stakes of reproaching a beloved figure, Noxon didnt take the decision lightly.
I talked to my shrink.
I thought, what would I risk?
I know people who are very close to him.
Would they ever speak to me again?
And thats just to say that I knew that the things she said happened, had happened.
Said Noxon, People dont want to believe this stuff about people they like.
Others approached Noxon to wonder if the alleged harassment wasnt actually that bad, i.e.
bad enough to rebuke Weiner and potentially suffer professional consequences.
So everybody was afraid, if you left under bad circumstances, that could be the end of you.
I was afraid of it.
So imagine being a young woman who has worked her whole life to get to this moment.
We should not have to accept bullying or harassment to make art.
Its not a requirement for good art.
That is a falsehood that gets perpetrated by bullies.
And Im done with it.
