This is a sensitive story to tell. Unfortunately, most the people who’ve heard this story, heard it through the grape vine. Not from me. So now you will hear it from me.
I did the Disney College Program in 2014. I was so excited — as most program participators are. Prior to moving to California, the group of accepted interns chatted, found roommates, and made friends in a Facebook group.
There one was one guy who seemed to always be present in Google Hangouts and conversations. I assumed nothing of it. He had been a cast member already for 5 years, and was a DCP alumni. He was going to be “dorming” during the program as well, despite being older than the average age of most people in the program. I believe he was 28. The average crowd was 18–23 year olds.
Watch the GIRLS cast stick up for victims of domestic violence (post continues after video).
We chit chatted privately occasionally. I admit to flirting, though I flirt with everyone. And flirting did not justify what happened. I admit to talking about marijuana. But talking about weed — in a state where it is medicinally legal — also does not warrant what happened.
