So many women reached out to me sharing his messages with them and their experiences. It got worse as time went by. From obscene messages to unwelcome moves, he has done it all. I created a post because I felt guilty for not having called him out long before I feel it has gotten progressively worse since no one called him out” the budding model said while recollecting about what she went through after sharing a story and went on to add “l am still astonished by the sheer amount of messages I have received in the last two days from different women. I am happy this has come out now and I am willing to fight it out as much as I possibly can”
