This is a selfie Charles Rogers took on my phone the morning after sexually assaulting me in 2020. I was his driver on the shoot for Search Party. After he took this selfie he joked, “I have a lawyer in case someone me too’s me”. I don’t remember falling asleep that night.

SPRING BREAKERS: very sad film. the afters seems fun until the sun comes up and the wrinkles on weirdo's face you went home with come into focus. the ecstatic party has become dissociative and suddenly you're holding a gun. you can never go home. i give it eight trillion stars.

My red eyes and drool running down my chin in that photo should say everything you need to know. The psychological damage this has caused me is beyond words. However, I will post my detailed account of everything, including the psychotic episode, soon.

A year later I suffered severe psychosis and delusions. HBO’s HR investigator gaslit me into exonerating Charles. Because of the psychotic episode, I believed I made this all up, and I even sent him an email telling him he did nothing wrong.

There are so many insane details to this story. Like how that night at the wrap party, he lied to me saying he blew a camera guy outside. I later found out that the camera guy had to shove Charles off bc he was being belligerent.

Charles was the writer/director of the show - I was his driver, he was my boss. He indeed handed me a drink right before we left the party, which I drank half of. He told the investigator, “I wouldn’t know how to drug somebody.”

And I’d love clarification on if that’s normal for an investigation like this. Because the investigator told me everything he’d said from when she interviewed him. It made me go, ‘oh, I see his side of the story and I’m in the wrong here.’

It is so amazing to finally share what happened to me. The psychosis I suffered landed me two weeks in an abusive psych ward where I went through more hell than you can imagine. It’s taken years to find a way to recover from all this and speaking it out loud genuinely helps.

btw obviously nobody actually bought this stupid video, but peeling back the layer of how celebs + hollywood actually operate is an extra satisfying added bonus. this (likely) happening under a single agency is why it's such a seemingly random group of people.
