The thousands of unstable messages sent to me were life-threatening and life-altering. I lived in fear, terrified that I was being followed and could be hurt at any moment. I ultimately stepped back from the music career I had worked so hard to build. I’m grateful that when I reported the messages, they were taken seriously, and many in law enforcement did everything they could to protect me.

I’m disappointed that the Supreme Court’s decision has minimized the harm that stalking and threatening messages cause to victims and their families. Nonetheless, I hope the standard the Supreme Court established can be used in ways that allow for the protection of victims across the country. If you are afraid, please trust yourself and reach out for help. The Court’s decision does not mean that victims must stand alone.
