“And why did she post the DMs?”

@majabulastrong advised:

“Wow, this is messy. 😬 Public figures really need to be careful; the internet doesn’t forget, and screenshots move fast. At the end of the day, if you go sliding into DMs, you must be ready for whatever comes with it. This whole situation is just awkward for everyone involved.”
