Dana Zermon tells about the sexual harassment she experienced on Telegram/Instagram screenshot
Network host
Dana Zermon
has been on social media for quite a few years, and is used to dealing with a variety of situations and reactions she receives. But she certainly did not expect the horrifying message she received yesterday (Wednesday), so she decided to open up the important issue, in an attempt to raise awareness and fight the horrifying phenomenon she encountered.
Zermon uploaded a story to her Instagram page today (Thursday), in which she talked about the sexual harassment she experienced on Telegram: "The most repulsive, horrifying and shocking thing in the world happened to me yesterday. I was so shocked last night that I suppressed it, but then I woke up this morning and realized that I had to speak About this and tell you this, and tell this to all the perverts who are now listening to my story."
"Yesterday by chance I received a message on Telegram from a phone I don't know, I opened the message and saw a picture of a man's genitals. Very clear, very present and a text that does not shame sexual harassment at the highest levels.
I was sexually harassed yesterday on Telegram, that's the definition. There is no other way to define It".
Zermon continued and told why she decided to publish the case: "I tell myself that maybe I shouldn't repeat what was written to me because it's so shameful, but it shouldn't shame me, it should shame this sick creature who sent me this message, that's why I repeat what he wrote to me after he sent the horrifying picture of his organ: 'After my birth, it will be my turn to drown you.'

"I want to throw up just thinking about it," the network anchor continued and added: "I thought about not talking about it at all and trying to scroll through it, but no, you must know this, you must protect yourself in the virtual space as well, especially in the virtual space where people allow themselves to behave Like this behind a keyboard and sending naked photos as if it were a gift to everyone."
Zermon shared that she hurried to block the deviant sender, and turned to her followers in an attempt to find a solution on how to combat the phenomenon, and shared that as of now, she has blocked the number of the deviant sender: "I have no smart ways to protect against this, I simply disconnected Telegram, deleted the application This one. Of course, I also immediately blocked this horrifying user, I didn't even look at his details."
The anchor of the network, who, as mentioned, is already used to dealing with criticisms and reactions concerning her conduct, anticipated the possibility that such would come this time as well and answered this in advance: "Whoever accidentally criticizes me and starts telling me that I chose a public life, then no. There is a difference between choosing life More frontal and receiving messages in logical situations and logical networks in which I am active, and receiving such private, morbid and deviant messages. Women should not be afraid to show themselves, express themselves, be who they are no matter what space and expect that such things will reach them."
"This shouldn't happen to anyone and no one in any way, under any conditions, no one should expose their organs to someone else if they didn't agree to it and didn't want it, no matter how. It's repulsive, it's invasive, it's disturbing and the man This one should be arrested along with all those perverts who do it, and there are probably quite a few."
