At the time the situation was happening, the house formed a council that asked both Rochelle and her male co-lead to step down ( she mishandled the coordination of the allegations). The male co-lead stepped down in favor of the council. Rochelle refused to step down. Instead, she launched a campaign of threats against people in the house, reminding everyone she had “political connections”.
These are double-standard all the way. She was doxed by [name removed by moderator]. Now that everyone knows she is not a victim and can say as much, you want to silence this?
I will reach out to them to ask. For the underaged girl—she understandably asked everyone to leave her out of this situation, but there are screenshots from communication with her and her brother which can be shared privately (if they agree to this)
Would any of these females be willing publicly say so?
I am not apologetic of sexual misconduct. I also have been supporting a number of victims through similar situations. Which is why I can not take it when people use sexual allegations for their own gain.
Rochelle spent the first few months of allegations saying that her house co-founder ex is a pathological liar. She only changed this narrative after an argument with people in the house, completely manipulating the narrative and saying that people turned on her because she is a victim of sexual misconduct. When [redacted], founder of Neighborhood, tried to coordinate this situation, she threatened him with allegations too.
To be clear—another woman already mentioned in the article has been lied to by Rochelle too.
Sexual misconduct shouldn’t be treated lightly. As we shouldn’t treat lightly people who blackmail others for personal gain. I think EA community should consider creating a list of people who use social movements for their own gain—in this case Rochelle Shen.
I am a person who lived in the house mentioned in the article. I witnessed firsthand everything as it happened.
FIRST. You should know that journalist DECLINED to investigate this story. She reached out to the accused person asking for a comment and, when faced with evidence that went against her narrative, said “Clearly, everything is more complicated than I thought. But I am on a deadline—will be publishing this tomorrow”.
SECOND. You should know that anyone who lived in the house will tell you that the house co-lead used the sexual misconduct accusations for blackmail. She went on to accuse of sexual misconduct multiple people who didn’t side with her (INCLUDING ACCUSING ONE GAY PERSON OF ASSAULTING A FEMALE. WHICH FEMALE SAID HE DIDN’T DO). Was she terrified of her male co-lead? Apparently not, because in the months that followed this story (and before the article got published), she would constantly ask the accused person for “favors”, including throwing her birthday in his house. There are at least 3 people that have heard her say: “Get me the lease by Friday at Midnight or I will go to the press, lawyers, and the police with these accusations.” HER BLACKMAIL HAS BEEN RECORDED TOO (can be shared here upon request).
As for the ex, they clearly had a messy breakup. I took these accusations seriously at first, especially given tnat initial allegations involved an underage girl. When the underage female got contacted to confirm this, SHE WAS OUTRAGED BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAD ANY INTERCOURSE AND THE EX OF the ACCUSED GUY USED HER NAME IN A STORY AGAINST HER WILL.

Yes, did not plan to share without consent
How can situations with false accusations be caught and handled, together with real sexual misconduct?

Why did she laugh the victims off until it was convenient for her?
Then why did she continue organizing events with him in the months after the story? It is not just the house that can confirm it.

One of them recently failed to get investors because those saw them on the list.
