• She also detailed how the event was traumatic, saying, “I have had to change my life…if someone was coming up the stairs and I called out to them and they didn’t reply I’d start crying because it reminded me of that time. Other than that I try to be just strong and protective and I have a lot of security around my house, even if it’s excessive or ridiculous to other people, that’s what I need to feel safe and sleep and I’m okay with that.”

• She added she’s been in “extensive therapy recently.”

• “I just finished law school.
