Former NFL player and Barstool Sports alum Pat McAfee didn’t have to name the Ole Miss freshman at the center of ongoing online and IRL harassment on the February 26 episode of his popular ESPN show. Following the Barstool playbook, he gave just enough information about the false internet rumor for his millions of viewers and subscribers to further slut-shame the teen, turning her life into a living hell. She already wasn’t safe on campus, and her mother’s house was swatted the morning after McAfee’s remarks, which he made on an episode that was supposed to be discussing the NFL’s annual college scouting showcase.

This week, Katelyn and Christine chat with award-winning independent journalist Frankie de la Cretaz about the disturbing story—a cautionary tale that could put any one of us in danger. We also encourage you to listen to our recent episode about online harassment that can quickly move offline, and learn how we can protect ourselves and each other.
