This one I am not surprised by. #VincentHerbert is the reason I suffer PTSD when I’m in the recording studio. He verbally and emotionally abused me when I was 14 while recording Dream’s first record. Isolated us from each other and forced me us loose weight.

Truth: nobody speaks out about sexual and/or domestic violence for clout! It’s a death sentence. We speak out in hopes that using our voice and speaking truth will set not only us free but others too. #IStandWithAmberHeard

I was empowered to share my story because of the brave women who shared their stories before me. My hope is that my experience further highlights the urgent need for open dialogue and education about consent and sexual assault.

If the alleged conversation with Angel & Aaron occurred in the 7th of August why did Nick & his family wait until the day after Aaron & I livestreamed to file a restraining order? That’s over a month later! #coverup #metoo #retaliation

👇🏼 Thank you!! And I’m still waiting for Nick Carter’s in-depth on-camera interview addressing each sexual assault report filed against him. 3 reports in 3 separate states. #metoo #timesup #coverup #BSBPrivilege.
@PerezHilton @nickcarter @aaroncarter I've seen multiple women tweeting accusations against Nick Carter, time to cover the real story.

@PerezHilton you’ve been nothing short of terrible to Aaron Carter, myself & the 2 other survivors who went to the police about being sexually assaulted by Nick Carter. Now that Paris Hilton liked our tweets you’ll listen? Get your head of our Lauren and Nick’s 🤬.#coverup #metoo.
Paris Hilton likes one of Aaron Carter's tweets alleging Nick Carter abused her during their relationship. Damn.

Riddle me this. If in theory, I am what you say I am “An Opportunistic Thirstbucket” and he is who you say he is “A crackhead who is jealous of his brother” why do you care so much that we are in contact? After all. we’re just 2 crazy ppl right? 🤔.

To the Nick Carter fans who keep pushing that I am “friends” with Diddy. I am not. I was signed to his label when I was only in the 8th grade. You should also keep in mind that it takes a village to sustain Diddy’s abuse. He isn’t the only one. The music industry is a dark place.

Have you heard of D.A.R.V.O.? It stands for Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. This manipulation tactic is used to shift blame and maintain power dynamics. Learn to recognize and combat it to protect yourself and others. #DARVO #mentalhealthawareness

Just because abuse is prevalent is in an industry doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.

These WOMEN now have every right to ROAR AND BE HEARD ESPECIALLY AFTER WHAT I HAVE ENDURED ON PURPOSE TO SEE THEM REVEAL THEIR COLORS NOW YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME. ALL OF YOU BSB FANS WILL APOLOGISE 2 @MelissaSchuman you WILL NOT OVER POWER HER AND @AshleyRepp FROM BEING HEARD.

@schemaly I consider it “passive murder.” Every single person who harassed Daisy and her family is now guilty of contributing to her death. Verbal lashing and harassment of victims of rape should be considered a hate crime & there should be legal recourse for it.

@PerezHilton @tmz Please think twice about the headlines you put out! Calling people mentally unstable & using it as clickbait is highly irresponsible. Get properly #TraumaInformed and stop leading with #DramaInformed 👇🏼 @Godbold @EchoTrainingOrg.
Trauma & addiction are inextricably linked: From seeing addiction as a disease we are now recognizing it as a trauma response. Deepen your knowledge of the connection btween addictive behaviors & how the body responds to trauma. Trauma & Addiction JUL 10

@PerezHilton why are you retweeting a post from the same twitter account that I warned people about days ago? Do you know who is behind this #cyberbully account? Its the same people who harassed me with @_block_this_ & @_silent_victim_ Please don’t be part of the problem.

Shame isolates us. I think that’s why speaking out and telling our stories of endured abuse releases the grip of shame. We are not meant to carry these stories alone. #speakout #community #silencenomore #captivesnomore #metoo.

To the reporters reaching out to me for comment regarding Aaron Carter’s brave tweets about his brother. None of you cared when my family was doxxed, stalked, harassed by the BSB fandom, called a fame seeker by @brianlittrell, my testimony bogus by @AJMcClean.

I’ve had a few people ask me about what’s happening inside the court room and what you’re seeing online is nothing but lies. Don’t even bother reading the tweets. In fact the guy behind the tweets got kicked out by the judge for doing what he was doing. #LMG.

How about we change the narrative? How about using the name of the brave gentleman who stepped forward and spoke out? Instead you use Kevin’s name and image 🤢🤮 It’s the exact same thing they do with any criminal case/headline. The victim’s names are not what people remember.

This! For everyone who comes forward with their #metoo story, remember you have an army of support. The bullies will show up and try to silence and shame you but we must continue to speak up! #bethechange #bebrave #speakup
Melanie Martinez is a legit disgusting person. What would Timothy have to gain by sharing her story? Seriously what would she gain? It’s so fucked up we live in a society that continually tries to suppress sexual assault victims from speaking out.

@JDan007 @aaroncarter There is something called “righteous anger”. Aaron has every right to speak about what he has endured in his life. Stop harassing him. You have no right to judge how someone heals and how long it takes! 🤐.

A few weeks ago when my story broke, I was shaking and full of fear. Now that the muzzle is off, I will not shut up. I finally have my voice back. For those of you who are still scared to come forward, don’t be! It’s liberating on the other side #metoo.

It shouldn’t take 100+ voices to speak out & expose a rapist. moving forward, I hope this number isn’t the standard for survivors being listened to in order for our cases investigated. 100+ survivors should be considered an unchecked pandemic of what is rape culture. #Weinstein.

Why didn’t you scream? Why didn’t you fight him? Please take the time to educate yourself on what happens to the brain during sexual assault before you voice how YOU would have responded. #sexualassault #stopvictimshaming #trauma #metoo #hertoo #timesup

Hey #NickCarter while we are speaking up, I have a question for you. Why do you think I changed my phone number? Why do you think I never wanted to see you again despite the many times you called me over & over again like a psycho? #timesup #metoo #rapist #bsb.
