She took the initiative and talked directly to the person doing it pretty much right out of the gate.

When the behavior continued, she spoke with producers, who issued a warning to the player.

Were you dreading this reunion show or welcoming the opportunity to speak out a bit?

SURVIVOR: Island of Idols

Robert Voets/CBS

Or was it both?I was very nervous.

I wasnt the only person that spoke up.

And people spoke up in many different ways.

And the apology, it feels really good.

But I think whats most important about the apology is this idea of taking responsibility.

Because CBS andSurvivorare going to institute these changes that Ive suggested.

Have you felt supported by your castmates throughout this whole ordeal from point A to point Z?

And so this experience, I think, has been very up and down for everyone.

I think the biggest thing out of everything is that everyone is learning, right?

Weve had these hard conversations and as individuals and institutions, and organizations.

We are getting better and were doing better.

We never saw the jury be informed that Dan had been pulled from the game.

How and when did that happen?So that happened to the jury during the next Tribal Council.

Jeff came up to us and essentially told us, Dan has been removed for another inappropriate touching incident.

My jaw dropped the ground.

And obviously now I know its an option and its crazy to talk about and think about.

You didnt ask for this attention.

To share their stories of inappropriate touching, sexual harassment, sexual assault.

You talked about the policies that CBS andSurvivorsay theyre going to put into place.

I have to hope.

I have to hope that change is going to happen.

I didnt ask to be put in a situation where mySurvivorexperience was defined by sexual harassment.

Or really my life.

I wantedSurvivorto be this fun thing, this fun game that was mentally, emotionally, and physically challenging.

Not about inappropriate touching.

And just a huge amount of pride and relief.

And yeah, relief that all of that is happening.

You mentioned the game.

He never had any advantages.

Everyone thinks Im their best friend.

Im close with all these people.

You have to respect that.

I have to respect that with the love that I have for this game.

And it is unfortunate that so much of that is getting lost with everything else thats happened.

This has been my main focus.

And so with time, I think that will definitely happen.
