She’s absolutely right. Mainstream is dying because situations like this are happening far too often. It’s almost as if the industry needs a massive HR department to handle issues like this. However, in reality, if everyone acted as respectable and consensual adults, these problems wouldn’t arise. People often confuse their work environment with real life, and that’s how things escalate to this extent.
Mind you, I don’t know if this is real. Sona is careful herself, heavily using the word “allegedly” to play it safe. She clearly doesn’t want to invite any legal trouble from this. More than anything, she just wants to get the word out so others don’t fall into the same trap.
When she says industry people stood by and did nothing, I completely believe her. The stories I’ve heard align with hers, and it’s easy to imagine people standing around and watching without stepping in. Sadly, it’s not surprising.
From the looks of it, she seems okay, but I hope she can recover from this. I’d rather see her play it safe and leave the industry altogether than go down some of the darker paths that others like her have.
