quotes
“I was in my early to mid-twenties, really living my best life in West Hollywood. I was really at an exciting point in my career where it felt like anything was possible.” - Gabi
“When I found out that we would be working on a show together, I knew that that was wrong. I was like, I don't want to date someone I work with. That's really problematic.” - Gabi
“…there would always be alcohol. He'd always be drinking when I first went to his place. And I'm like, oh, he must, like, have friends over a lot and he must party a lot.” - Gabi
“He went from being someone who was so supportive of me and encouraging of me and my career to someone who was telling me I wasn't good enough. I wasn't funny enough. I'll never amount to something.” - Gabi
“And he would do things to make that very difficult. Bring different girls every night to the tapings of the show, flaunt that he was dating other people in front of my face. He really went out of his way to make me feel like crap, and to make it really hurt.” - Gabi
“That relationship messed me up. That abusive relationship did not look like what I thought abusive relationships looked like.” - Gabi
