Bovi, in an open letter on Instagram, tried to correct the narrative of people who judged the actress without being objective.<\/p>\n
He said he felt compelled to wade into the matter as a friend.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m compelled to write you a public letter because I have an overwhelming urge to participate in the public discuss of your recent episode. As a friend, I will feel I failed you by remaining quiet while a section of society bashed you these past few days. But rather than defend you to a group of people who don\u2019t know you personally and who have made up their minds even in the face of overwhelming evidence, allow me to publicly tell you about your experience, what you did right and what you should have done differently,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Bovi added by saying that one of the reasons why she was being dragged by the public was because she did not fit \u201cinto the stereotype\u201d, meaning that she did not play the victim-role as expected.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst off, your biggest crime in all of this was not fitting into the stereotype! You\u2019ve been dragged in many sections for being bold and courageous under fire. While the taxi driver was taken you to a wrong destination, just because your voice was firm and assertive, it seemed as though nothing troubling was happening. While the driver restrained you from coming down from the taxi, you pepper sprayed him and your voice and resolve was still not broken. This too doesn\u2019t fit the stereotype. If it was a scene out of a movie, the director would probably ask you to scream, cry, be shaken and even beg to be let go. In the eyes of many, you were too bold, too calm, too calculated for a lady. To this I say a big kudos. Don\u2019t stop. Don\u2019t change. Because the fact remains, as far as he took you to a destination against your will in the middle of the night, you were abducted. That is a crime punishable by law.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomewhere, some girl is inspired by your boldness.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext time though, it will be wiser to get down from the car as quickly as possible. Do not take chances or hesitate. Safety first should be your watch word. Cynthia hesitated in festac. It didn\u2019t end well.\u201d He added. – Premium Times<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
