In a series of thread on Twitter, she said that those celebrities kept mute then but now are speaking up against sexual abuse.
I feel sick seeing all the male celebrities I told my story, speaking up against sexual abuse now but kept silent then Emma Nyra stated
I can see all the male celebrities and notable figures that I told my story to in confidence trying to speak up for abuse now. You lot still kept working with the same man. Its actually making me sick. I feel so sick right now.

This is the truth about the industry. Imagine what’s happening right now is what you have SEEN. Imagine all the things that you haven’t heard or SEEN. #justiceforseyitan

Silencing a victim or shaming a victim is further emotional abuse upon the suffering and damage that has already been done! It’s time to hold everyone accountable for their actions regardless of their wealth or social status! Victims are not criminals!
