Joint Statement from Andrew and Evelyn Yang

“Jean Kim took an incredibly brave step forward this morning in telling her story of coercion and assault.  “For survivors of harassment, abuse, or sexual assault of any kind, we know firsthand how difficult it is to tell your story -- and do so publicly for the first time. Survivors put so much at risk when they speak publicly. It is never easy.  “Our hearts go out to her, and her family, during this difficult time.  “We hope New Yorkers will listen, uplift Jean’s story, and remember that her experience is unfortunately far from unique. Thank you, Jean, for speaking your truth today. We heard you, and we believe you.”
