Jump on the bandwagon? I feel like she did, and I'm not so sure about her mental stability. Her story is a non-event, and yet she got an interview out of it and made it sound like something horrible. Now, do I equate her non-story to every MeToo story? No. Does it make me question them? Definitely. The trouble is that others are going to take Dupuy's metoo moment as reason to discredit the whole movement. It's what conservatives like to do, generalize from one example.
