Arguing with someone in a public forum, even raising your voice and insulting that person does not raise to the level of abusive behaviour. If that was the case, many women would be included in #metoo by now. Not being nice, even being an ansshole, does not equal abuse.

This. It is really unprofessional to reach out for an interview with comments like that. I don’t blame the Atlantic for refusing to submit to an interview if all they had to go on was, “what is your fucking deal” etc.

This article is how not to be a journalist. Claim you want an answer, start the conversation out with the person that can give it to you like a petulant child, quote yourself in the article like you’re some authority figure. Way to go, champ.

This is a show about prostitution and pornoagraphy in NYC in the seventies - it airs on HBO.

I don’t see any reason why they can’t continue being artists. Now, whether they’re popular artists or not is up to the audience.

The “500 Likes for part 2" line at the end of the first video makes me very weary of the authenticity of her story and her motivation for sharing it.

Do you have a tone you are trying to convey? Because it is being conveyed quite poorly here.
