'I'm glad I spoke out because I believe it has changed things.'
Sara Rivest, a TV reporter in Kentucky, is not done talking about the now-viral moment when a man, a stranger, came up behind her and kissed her cheek during a live broadcast.
"There was nothing my photographer or I could do in the moment because we had a job to do, so I said on air, 'That was so inappropriate,' and tossed to my story," Rivest said."Once it cut to my package I just screamed at him, 'You're so rude!' But he was long gone by then." Rivest said she knows she could have not shared the clip or shared it without the inclusion of the live-shot kiss, but she wanted to send a message to women -- and to men.
In the days since Goodman was identified and charged, Rivest said she has felt like she was harassed all over again. On the other hand, women speaking out about being sexually harassed is extremely powerful and important, Vagins points out. It is not only empowering and awareness-raising, but even more critically can remind people, especially women, that they have rights.
