This is hard to comprehend… My heart is aches for the cast, crew and writers who gave their all to tell this story. I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity, and appreciate all of the love and support. Hopefully this news will be a comma in the HTDA story, not a period.

I am so glad this woman spoke up against those who copied her idea so blatantly. They thought she was unworthy when in fact she was victorious.
