Armie Hammer says these allegations are “attention seeking.” Here's a PSA: When a survivor chooses to share their story publicly, it’s often because they know they are not alone. All too often, they know they are not the only victim this person has harmed. Effie, I believe you!

We as survivors don’t share our stories in hopes of fame or fortune. We are not opportunists. We have nothing to gain + everything to lose. And yet, we do it, time and again, because we know that it will help others to come forward, to speak out, to feel safe. Effie, we love you.
In sharing our stories survivors and victims hold our abusers accountable in a way the criminal legal system so often does not. Story sharing looks different for every survivor, but often is a part of their healing process. Effie, we are here for you. #MeToo #StandWithSurvivors
Effie said on Thursday: "In speaking out today, I hope to keep others from falling victim to him in the future." When survivors share our stories it's often an act of love and care to other people. Literally saying "I never want you to have to experience what I did"
