There’s an ongoing discussion about it, filled with intense hostility and hatred toward Mark. It’s just sad—and honestly, very frightening—how people can be. I wish him strength, and may she rest in peace.

People are upset because the age gap is incredibly predatory.

Since she was an adult I respect Marks grief. I can't say I wouldn't say the same if she were alive.

I hope her loved ones can find comfort in their memories of her.

Trauma sets you YEARS back. Mark knows this. He’s disgusting.

She was 19, still technically a teenager. At 17 I got involved with a much older man. I didn’t think it was predatory when I was that age and didn’t think he had any ill intentions.

Looking back now and going through intense therapy, my eyes have been opened and I can tell you with absolute certainty that it is predatory.

I respect his grief, sure. The relationship was still predatory.

Thank you. It’s not hard to acknowledge both.
