Says Erin:
I did nothing wrong. The hardest thing is that I still have to say that to people… I still had to say that yesterday on the court steps — you know, ‘How can you do this?’ ‘How did you feel it was OK to go on with your life?’ You turn the tables on them and say, ‘Because what did I do? What did I do wrong?’
Jesus Christ, are there still people in this world who tell victims of sexual predators that it’s their own fault?
“It’s not over,” she says. “It’s not going to be over, but this is the first step.”
Props to you for keeping your head up through all this, Erin. What a fucking nightmare.
Now, more importantly — how excited is everyone for this season of Dancing with the Stars???
Yes, there are definitely still people in life that blame the victims for what a sexual predator did. i am going through a similar situation with a sexual predator at my former church right now. i am just now going to law enforcement when i should have gone long ago. because of this, a lot of people don’t believe me or assume i am exaggerating what took place. add to that the fact that i have no physical evidence besides an apology email. this is why i never wanted to go to the cops- i figured no one would take me seriously or believe me. and i turned out to be mostly right. although my friends have been amazing helping me through this heinous time. i feel for erin and i hope she knows there are millions of women around the world who are on her side. my own mother blamed me for what happened and called me a slut. it’s beyond hurtful…anyway just wanted to share my story.
Yes, and what a group to share your story…with a blog full of idiots. You must be really lonely or an attention grabber, or both.
Shut up “Now You Happy”, you call Grace Jones an attention grabber. You’re basically an attention grabber to say what you said earlier. Loser.
Well hello Doucheity Mc Doucherson! You’re such a lovely human being. I’m sure you have a piece of coal for a heart. Fuck you. I’m not lonely, nor do I not have any friends. Just felt like spilling my guts on the internet- thanks. And I hope when you referred to people on this site as idiots, you were talking about yourself- because that, I agree with.

I’m not one to push websites, nor do I have any stake in this one, but it’s a community that I enjoy. Everyone could use a little support, especially when dealing with something like this. This site has been great for some people, and others aren’t interested. Either way, I figured I’d share and give you the chance to decide for yourself.
Thanks a lot Casey. I’m checking it out now. :)
Is Erin going to dance nude?
Just Joking!
I’ll bet while taping that show whatever room she stays in, the door will not have a peep hole in it.
Sadly, My boyfriend and I broke up a month ago. yeah.. i’m young ,beautiful,lonely and still hurting.i need someone to love ….My friends told me about A_g_e_m_in_g_le @ c./o./m and i got curious about it.. they met their boyfriends there.,It is said that it’s the best place to meet a older boyfriend or a younger girlfriend. .So i got a username AnnaBaby there in order to find a new boyfriend. is it wrong?
“Jesus Christ, are there still people in this world who tell victims of sexual predators that it’s their own fault?”
Sadly, yes. Every man and woman I’ve ever who’s dealt with this has been blamed by a boyfriend, a family member, a stranger, etc. It’s not fair, but it’s true.
“YES THERE ARE MY CHILD”
honesly, if this was the real J.C. he would not be commenting in all caps. Kanye?
It’s tough to word this without sounding terrible, but I almost feel like she’s going a little overboard. No doubt, her privacy was violated. This guy is definitely a creep, and I’m glad he is paying for his actions.
However, when I hear her speak, it reminds me of the words of a rape victim or something. Again, I know she was victimized by this man, but it just seems like she’s feeling a bit too sorry for herself. I’m definitely not blaming her for what happened to her. This guy’s actions are reprehensible. I just feel like she needs to put things into perspective a little bit. Does anyone else understand what I’m saying?
I understand but you have to realize that people react to traumatizing events in different ways. For example, dealing with a death.
Yeah, I understand that. I guess I may feel differently if it happened to me.
I see what you’re saying, but he’s hurt a lot of women and she’s making a public statement that it is NOT okay. She was being STALKED and that could make anyone feel unsafe and violated. Maybe she’s more emotional than you would be, and I know that I also would have approached it differently, but I think too many women go underboard. Say what you want, but he has done this to MANY other women and just kept on going. It’s upsetting to hear stories like this, or even worse, when someone actually IS raped, and you find out that the person has 10 other victims come forward. People need to stand up against men like this and stop them from doing it to others.
I myself would have had a very different life experience if someone that hurt me had been stopped by others earlier on. Instead, the others decided to forget about it and move on with their lives, not considering that they wouldn’t be the last to be affected.
if you’ve never been through something like this you should just shut up and not post a comment about this. Imagine thinking that your safe in your own home and don’t have to worry about being watched just going about your life and then come to find out that your every move was being recorded and people that don’t even know you personally are watching you. This happened to me and has destroyed my psyche probably indefinitely. Anyone who has done this to someone doesn’t even deserve to be classified as a human being and if they even think there is any excuse for this they are so wrong and I wish nothing but the worst for all of them. There are no words to describe you and I have no idea how you all look at yourselves in the mirror every day. I hope you all burn in hell
honestly. i still think she knew she was being videotaped. no woman does all that when they are alone.
Everyone is just jealous of her… hey, here’s an idea. Workout, skip burger king and maybe a blog will be about you. Envy is an evil thing Ashurii.
