Support
Since her story has gone viral, Bottone has clarified that she didn’t intend her argument to be political but rather a movement to resolve a legal discrepancy. She also says that she’s received a lot of support.
“It’s eye-opening to see how many women have messaged me, reached out to me just wanting to be a part of this, saying ‘I’m here to support you,'” she said in an updated interview with The Dallas Morning News. “People in New Zealand are messaging me right now. I can’t get to everyone. I wish I could just tell them thank you.”
