Perhaps inevitably, he is still being asked about the reaction. In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar (via Entertainment Weekly), she talked about what she learned from the experience.
She said, “I said what I felt, and that will always be a testament to my core beliefs as a human being. That’s where I stand.”

Ziegler continued. “There is an understanding that the temptation to speak out does not always mean it should be done, and there are many opportunities to make more meaningful change than a tweet.”
What’s more, “If I had been able to predict everything coming my way, threats to my safety, I would have thrown my phone in the ocean. I think any sane person would do that.”
