Of course, Overcast Anderson got dragged for her tweets and hopefully learned a lesson about victim-blaming:
Eventually, Hurricane Anderson issued an apology about her tweets, but of course, none of that matters in the grand scheme of things because she’s already made herself look like a fool on social media.
