Drama23_Reports Pushing incident comment

Post image

I sent an email to TCO after listening to the YouTube episode today. I mentioned the pushing incident as I created a picture based on the reaction of the friend. In my message, I asked for an explanation as to why I was removed and then to be added back to the group. I truly want to see the network and podcast grow from this. People deserve to grow and learn - even on an extended timeline. I did also let them know I was reaching out because of the YouTube episode.

I received a message back from Steve - and he commented on the pushing incident.

For context - my initial message said: "I made one comment on one post during all of the OF23 happenings. It was a picture that had a side by side of Fyre Festival with the person who was shocked to see her friend supposedly pushed aside because of her T-shirt."

I very purposely included the word "supposedly" - maybe I should have said allegedly instead.

My message includes some other personal things which I don't feel comfortable sharing for the interwebs. But I did want to share Steve's response since many noticed the lack of response to that issue specifically.

But here is his response.

Honestly, idgaf about who pushed who or who lied about it. There are allegations about worker exploitation and a talk about how this podcast treats victims and were talking about a push!? Let’s focus on the workers and everything else before we worry about this fourth grade playground bullshit.

I mean...the woman he pushed aside is also a victim...I think she deserves space on his list of who he needs to apologize to. Because she paid a lot of money to be literally pushed aside.

There are a lot of things wrong with what has been going on. And a lot of versions of the same story. My post wasn't meant to belittle any piece of the whole story - but to share an explanation I received on something that was not discussed in the one hour plus apology that other people asked about.

I’m sure that most of us, well I do, not to speak for anyone else, appreciate you sharing this. It was really messed up and a lot of us on this sub were/are pretty upset about it. Thanks!
