“That’s a private experience between two people. You think that you love someone and you trust them, and to have your trust betrayed like that, and for the whole world to be watching and laughing… even more hurtful to me for people to think that I did that on purpose, that just killed me.”
“It still gives me post traumatic stress disorder to talk about it.”
“I’m happy that things have changed,” she goes on, talking about the potential impact if the sex tape was leaked today. “And that people are realising that the woman in the situation who is the victim should not be treated like that, or spoken about like that.”

The UK is set to host its first non-socially distanced gig, as part of a government pilot to help prepare for the return of live music. Taking place on May 2, the event will see a crowd of five thousand people gather in Liverpool’s Sefton Park.
Besides not being required to stick to social distancing guidelines, attendees won’t have to wear face coverings. They will, however, have to take a rapid COVID test at a local testing centre, and provide proof of a negative result to gain entry.
The gig headlined by Blossoms will trial the role such facilities could play in the return of large-scale live events, says the Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport, via the BBC. Attendees will also take a test after the concert to help assess the safety of live music events.
“Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” remains at the top of the UK singles chart three weeks in, though it was temporarily removed from streaming services earlier this week. “It’s unfortunately out of our control but we are doing everything possible to keep the song up on streaming services,” said his label, Columbia Records, in a statement posted April 13. “We will keep you up to date as we hear more. Thank you for understanding.”
In the meantime, Lil Nas X urged fans to screen record the audio off YouTube, and suggested that he’d stream the song on Pornhub if the streaming outages weren’t fixed.
