Something like this is honestly, extremely scary not only for me, but also for each one of us who today is vulnerable to so much harm because of how technology is being misused.”
She continued, “Today, as a woman and as an actor, I am thankful for my family, friends and well-wishers who are my protection and support system.

We need to address this as a community and with urgency before more of us are affected by such identity theft.”
