Me neither, lol

It was super interesting that at the end of the interview she seemed to suggest she had spent at least the last year trying to find the right outlet to share her story. I wonder if the book prompted that.

I thought they dated at least, but THIS, never in a million years. I still cannot believe she has gone public with all of this info.

I was starting to become concerned when she started talking about being a virgin, having no experience, etc. Because I couldn't make a scenario work where Ben hadn't...done something he should not have done, if they did date during that time. But that he ostracized her and other cast members ostracized her because of this specifically? I didn't see that coming.

I used to think there was someone on set, possibly a writer/producer, that pursued her. Even believing that they dated, I REALLY did not expect to the extent that she outlined until after her birthday.

I got the impression it was Josh, Stephanie and Ben that mostly sidelined her? Stephanie mentioning she used to think Mischa was too cool to hang out with them is such a disingenuous statement to have ever made, and she knows it.

Definitely could have, wouldn't be surprised if the podcast played a part too.

Me neither

Cristofle

I think other cast members also decided to...side with Ben. Which is just bananas, lol. She's a KID! Tell him to suck it up.

Definitely should have, but they didn't

Cristofle

It's so...childish. Which is whatever except they were bullying the only actual child.

stlavin95

It seriously is

Cristofle

It's like they thought because Mischa was in high school, they all got to act like they were in high school.

stlavin95

Pretty much

Cristofle

I was a TA when I was Ben's age - my students were about Mischa's age, slightly older. We were NOT peers. They were kids who like...needed my guidance.

stlavin95

No real surprise there either

Cristofle

I never would have dated a 17 year old at 25, LOL. Honestly, doubt I would've done it at 19-20, even, although that's not as weird. By 25, I definitely was in a different place in life.

Me neither, not everyone agrees with that though
