She argues his version misattributes credit and obscures the power dynamics at play, especially in light of MeToo, while acknowledging her own struggles with substance abuse. Newsom’s team says he’s already spoken publicly and has no further comment. Rippey also reveals Kamala Harris, then SF DA, advised her to wait before speaking out—advice she now credits with helping her gain perspective.
