I felt the tears as I stood without moving. I was frozen in shame and fear immediately. How could I let this be happening? Yet, how was I supposed to know how to confront a man taking advantage of me? I’d be practically trained by the record label to allow it, to just endure. I’d known this day would come, where he’d take advantage of me like he had so many others. I knew so many women before me had been told to keep quiet about him, to not cause a scene, He was too influential. He’d ruin me and everyone close to me.
