I lied. I took his flirting with me in TJ to mean more then it was. From these posts you can see how easy it could happen - woman are now saying he tried it with them because he "touched their arm" or "said they were beautiful" I don't want people to second guess the care they received. I know he flirts w everyone but I read it as more than it was and got it in my head that he liked me. I think We did have a connection and at a time where I was most vulnerable. I took this too far and it's spiralled out of control - i only wanted speculation and for him to know I was mad, not everyone! I didn't want his name out there. But costing his career is too much , he is as I HAVE stated before, a very good Dr and I don't want to take that reputation away from him because of my bipolar behaviour ... I'm not a troll but also have no evidence he has slept w any patients. But this punishment doesn't fit the crime. I took it the wrong was and felt rejected and stupid when he set me straight. I just want to retract my claim we slept together and apologise to the other Drs and company because none of them deserved this backlash, i didn't think it through before I posted and didn't think about who else would get hurt by it.. I'm sorry to everyone effected

If this is the whole truth and nothing but the truth, I do think the other threads need to be removed to avoid any confusion or bad information for future readers. Not cool to mess with somebody's reputation. Just bewildered right now.

It's not the truth, she has been "persuaded" into retracting her statement. OP we feel for you and are sorry for all your going through and know you were not lying

Go to the original thread as it sounds like this retraction possibly isn't "the whole truth and nothing but the truth". I'm simply at a loss now....

Blindsided--

As a woman who's dealt with sexual abuse, it sounds to me like you're now throwing yourself under the bus to protect someone because you either feel sorry for him possibly having to deal with the (totally justified) repercussions of his actions, or because you are afraid he might somehow lash out at you, or because you have some kind of residual feelings for him.

Don't back down if what you said was the truth. Don't protect someone who is targeting your fellow females.

Don't make yourself a target by taking the heat because you're afraid he has more to lose than you do.

Don't cheapen future claims by other women; they will face "Oh we've been down THIS road before, you're just a troll, we got lied to once, we ain't believing it again" instead of getting support.

Please. If you were truthful at the outset, don't claim to be a liar now. It's too important.

It's not the truth, she has been "persuaded" into retracting her statement. OP we feel for you and are sorry for all your going through and know you were not lying

If this is what's going on, it's SHAMEFUL. No woman who steps forward should ever be pressured, coerced, threatened or "persuaded" to change her story.

Whaaat??!!! - I really don't know what to think

Her retraction is a lie. What a shame.

This is a huge mess. I did lie. No ones told to me to retract anything. no one has power over me except my conscience. I lied to everyone.

To quote you, why would you lie? All you wanted to do was protect others, right?

Are you saying the other ladies who were with you and witnessed your behavior lied, too? Is this really how little your integrity is worth?

It's too late. Others have come forward and the ball is rolling. You might as well be honest now. You are old enough to know better. Please don't treat us as if we are idiots.

Crying "but there's not any wolf" after you've showed us his footprints, and handed out a fur sample is far more irresponsible than crying wolf when there isn't any.

You might be lying out of fear, or lying out of guilt--but you're helping the wrong person. Worse yet, you're setting a dangerous precedent for other women who might also be victimized, and then won't be believed because of the quick 180 you've done for whatever reason.

For pity's sake, be honest with those of us who stuck out our necks to support you.

It is so sad what has and is happening w this situation. I kept quiet while reading nd following what BS has said from the get go. I watched people fuss nd cuss at each other while BS sat by nd watched and I was a bit skeptical but was saddened by all the mess that was happening yesterday nd today. We r here to support each other in our wl journey, then others tried supporting a stranger, BS, in what she claimed and now, regardless of the truth or not, I'm angry at BS for not being truthful one way or the other, I'm angry bc so many people on here r now out w each other bc of her decisions and its not fair to all who supported you BS and if its true, its not fair to those you've left out there to now be judged as not credible. As stated b4, at this point, u need to seek some professional help for whatever truth or non truth uve told. Good luck and I pray that whatever the outcome is, that it will be for the good of all involved. I'm done, I just needed to say that bc this has turned into a complete mess for all involved.

Too late, yes you know you are a liar, I'm sorry for you...

Honestly, this whole thing is pathetic! When is it going to stop? You've already damaged this man's reputation whether rightfully so or not. And your credibility has completely gone out the window!

I agree. I call bullshit on the whole thing...even if it's true, it's still bull.
