    And then she used her fame and platform to write a book exposing all the people who harassed her and what they did. I don’t entirely disagree but I think she doesn’t deserve to be characterized as simply a sex toy/ victim with no voice or agency

        No, she was still a victim and I’m not trying to undermine that, but at the same time I wouldn’t refer to her as a “sex toy” or “having no say”. She used her voice and agency to try and make things better for the people who came after her.

        I think characterizing her as a voiceless object or oversimplifying a complex individual into just a victim does her a great disservice.
