It sounds like they are taking her harassment allegations seriously, but not the allegations of excessive levels of work expected, which IMO sounded far more serious. Like having someone grope you is no joke, but having to cut yourself just so you can request a day off is insane
The video they put out yesterday addressed the overwork problems. They were clear in their messaging that they are going to back off on the number of videos they make, or at least that's what they said. Time will tell.
Too bad no one took it seriously at the time and repeatedly ignored her. It's so unfortunate only now once its getting media coverage that they're doing anything.
Welcome to human nature, lol.
I'm sorry but if someone felt like the only way they could take a day off is to cut themselves and then goes through with it, it sort of makes their claims needing more validation as that screams instability and not rational thinking.
There's no doubt that there was a actual stress and probably really messed with her mentally. Maybe there were way too high of stakes and too much responsibility for her, but I failed to see why they wouldn't go to their labor board, or quit if it was something that serious.
I think it's insane we throw all of this on the employer, when clearly something wasn't right with her if this is the case
