"I dismissed it and feigned exacerbation," Lysette said in the announcement. "I had an occupation to do and I needed to do it with Jeffrey, the lead of our show. When they called activity, I put that minute in the corner into its own particular corner of my psyche.

Presently I get myself blamed for conduct that any enlightened individual would denounce energetically. I know I haven't generally been the least demanding individual to work with. I can be unstable and crotchety, and time after time I express my feelings brutally and without respect. Yet, I have never been a predator — ever. I am profoundly sad if any activity of mine was ever confounded by anybody as being sexually forceful or in the event that I at any point outraged or hurt anybody. Yet, the truth of the matter is, for every one of my blemishes, I am not a predator and the possibility that somebody may see me in that way is more upsetting than I can express."
