I am pretty confused by some of the comments here. I think “Sharing information on Ben Pace” is supposed to be about Kat’s experiences and that Kat is expecting/wanting that to be obvious.
They were shocked at his lack of concern for her suffering and confirmed that he would probably really hurt her career if she came forward with her information.
Re-reading that section, it was surprisingly consistent with that interpretation, but this line seems to make no sense if it’s about Kat’s experience—if the trauma is publishing the previous post then “probably really hurt her career if she came forward with her information” does not make sense because the trauma was a public event
I am also confused by this. I think it would be good for Kat to quickly clarify if it was or wasn’t her. Since the section is for rhetorical affect, I don’t think this should matter, and it seems like an easy misunderstanding to clear up.
A slightly different possibility is that “Sharing information on Ben Pace” is supposed to be about Kat’s experiences, and Kat did not want it to be obvious, because it makes Ben look bad and untrustworthy. But that would be a really dishonest and manipulative thing to do, and would undermine her post, which is supposed to establish that other people are telling lies about her. Kat should clarify that she didn’t intend it this way and the section is about someone else.

FWIW, that was not obvious to me on first reading, until the comments pointed it out to me.
