The JO Situation: Finally, closure!

http://tgwtgrumours.tumblr.com/post/17808829670/jesuotaku-and-the-rumours#notes

FINALLY! Someone confirming that yes, JO said that awful stuff. It's great that she's changed, but it was bothering me after the whole TGWTG Secrets debacle that she was denying she ever said that stuff and making things horrible for Rants and the confused fans and those of us who actually read the formspring post that has since been deleted. 

And now we can put this whole business to rest. Now that it's all out in the open ... I think I can watch JO's reviews again. *smiles*

Just got back from my first college party. Yaaaaaay! Pretty small, lots of fun dancing, lots of sexy dancing, lots of me watching people do sexy dancing and wanting to join in and not knowing the protocal for that, and me headbanging to Katy Perry and stuff. I'm sore and sweaty and I had fun. I'm glad I went out with my friends.

It's because of assholes like that that I almost threw myself off a bridge last year. It wasn't cool then, it's not cool now.

Also, the fact that Ven kept giving Rants Holly's contact details, and he didn't post them until Holly herself gave them...oo, that makes my blood fucking boil.

And then, when I tried to call him on it, he just went 'oh, but no one came forward, this is just a secrets blog what do you want meeeeeee to do about it?'

People were under no obligation to come forward to fucking Rants of all people, it's not his business if someone was stalked/molested/taken advantage of/whatever actually happened since I don't know specifics. Maybe they came forward to HOLLY and not some fan on Tumblr. Especially a guy fan.

Like I said though - the fact that he put off posting her details until she gave the details was just icky. Especially when Ven had been asked by Holly herself to give the details.

Beyond that, Rants could have easily given the details at the start, it's not like any of that is private information.

Yeah, you're totally right. I have no idea if it was true or not (no one's ever confided anything like that to me) but I error on the side of, you know, actually believing victims. The first thing he should have done was post Holly's contact info.
