Busy revealed she was inspired to tell her own traumatic story after watching Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testify at Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing today. Dr. Ford claims the Supreme Court nominee assaulted her when they were teenagers.

“Today is the day we are silent no more. All of us,” Busy wrote. She then admitted, “I'm scared to post this. I can't imagine what Dr. Ford is feeling right now.”

Followers praised Busy for coming forward, writing, “You are a very very strong woman,” and, “I believe you and I support you always.”
