Recently, Kirschenheiter posted about changing her behavior and wrote about the outpouring of support she received. Plus how much she regrets what happened.
“Bad choices have bad consequences,” she wrote. “Mine are magnified bc I chose to share my life with you on a very public stage. Those who are a part of my real life gave me words of encouragement and love knowing the content of my character and the love in my heart. As embarrassed and hard on myself as I’ve been in these past few days, I’ve been shocked by the astonishing amount of ‘it could have happened to anyone’ and ‘we’ve all been there’ that I’ve received through friends both close to me and on social media.”

One time is one time too many. I am awake now. I can promise this will NEVER BE ME again.”
