Buckley, I just want to say thank you for speaking out about this case, especially when so many people in the public eye have chosen to stay silent.
I understand why some people may be avoiding it. Sharing an opinion on this case comes with ridicule, bots, hate, and some of the worst attacks I’ve ever seen online. But that is also why it matters when someone with a platform is willing to say something.
I don’t usually think people should base their opinions on what celebrities or public figures think, but the truth is, people do listen when someone in the industry speaks up. Your voice carries weight. People admire you, and they trust your judgment.
I’m just a regular person without a big platform, so when someone like you is asking some of the same questions, it makes the rest of us feel a little less crazy for noticing that things do not add up.
So thank you. It genuinely means a lot to see someone with influence still willing to stand on principle and ask the questions so many others are afraid to touch.
