It’s truly heartbreaking to see so many of my industry colleagues and current/former coworkers sharing stories of how men in power sexually harassed them. It’s happened to me too.

I’m speaking out about it not for attention but because people need to see how even just a couple abusers in positions of power can deeply damage the lives of many people who work under them.

I hope by saying this for all to see, people will realize that this is a serious, widespread issue that can affect anyone, and these types of men in power -- abusers, predators, groomers, etc. -- need to be dealt with.

TB, one of the bosses, always gave me the creeps. After a work lunch, he walked up behind me and gave my ass an aggressive half slap/half grab. I didn’t know how to react, but I immediately felt vulnerable, unsafe, and embarrassed.

Did he think it was okay, that I wouldn’t mind, because I was gay? I had felt safe at work until that happened, but now I had someone I didn’t feel comfortable being in the same room with.

I didn’t say anything to HR. Or anyone at the company. It happened while walking with a group of co-workers who didn’t seem to notice, and when I looked back at him, shocked, he was grinning about it. It sickened me how he felt comfortable doing something so vile in plain sight.

I didn’t think anyone would take me seriously even if I did bring it up. I could almost hear the response… “What’s the big deal? It’s just a slap on the ass.”

If for some reason you think “just a slap on the ass” is “no big deal,” then know that it is an act of sexual assault. I didn’t really understand that until I literally googled it, and yup, the definition is to be forcibly touched in a sexual manner.

Joshua I am so sorry you dealt with this too. For the longest time I didn't think anything of it until I also looked it up. It's not fair to you, to any of us, who've been grossly treated this way. I hope that you're doing so, so much better these days and feeling safer.
