![]() And so then when I discover that interest is actually physical, it just felt very wrong." ![]() "And he's connected to the organization I work for, and if he had never expressed an interest in my poems I probably wouldn't have pursued spending any time with him," Walker says. Even in the original reporting, I thought it sounded bizarre. Another sounded like an unwanted advance that could have been stopped by just saying they weren't interested. One accusation sounded more like a disappointing affair with him and retconned it to be about power imbalances. None of the articles published about it shared many specifics. Sherman Alexie is one of my favorite authors, and I just never understood exactly what he did that deserved the complete ostracization he received. Speaking of looking back and re-interrogating metoo allegations, there is one case that I've always wanted more information about. April didn't handle things in the most honest way, but she was also too young to be expected to. I shudder to think how difficult these situations would be if their boss was involved. A friend who had an affair with a 50-year old married man and still cannot explain what she ever saw in him. A lesbian friend who thought she was asexual until an amazing night. A friend who thought appearing in porn was a liberating feminist experience, then came to deeply regret it. Most people are clueless about their sexuality at age 18-19. But still, she should never had been put in that position. And also agree journalism on this was crazy one-sided. ![]() She clearly was a willing participant at times and exaggerated to make her case. I am a huge Screen Junkies fan, and I believe Andy Signore’s version of events. In April’s last post before she went completely offline, she said “I was a teenager and I made mistakes and I’ve had to live with them.” Also, like most people pre-MeToo, she had to go through a meaningless toothless HR process. Navigating any one of those things at that age is hard, but far worse when they all interact. I know that is technically ‘legal’, but most people at that age are still just beginning to learn about the workforce, adult relationships and their own sexuality. For the Andy Signore segment, it should be noted that April Dawn was only 18-19 years old when all this occurred.
