Talking about a recent case of a college professor committing suicide on alleged claims of harassment, Jami wrote that one wrongful death did not mean all victims were fake and liars.

The director even said that he knew the consequences of his revelations but it was very important for him to reveal his story since the legitimacy of the movement was being questioned.
