Summary

The Bully And Shaming of Audrie Pott By Her Classmates Which Led To Her 2012 Death by Suicide

**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!! Skip ahead about a year! Also, KD is no longer a part of the Orbital Jigsaw Network or Blubrry**

Audrie Pott, a 15 year old Northern California high school student, attended a house party Labor Day weekend of 2012, a few days before the start of her sophomore year. After passing out from heavy drinking, Audrie was stripped of her clothes, her body, including her genital areas, was drawn on all over using indelible sharpie markers with obscenities and she was sexually assaulted by three boys. They also took photos and videos of the assault and distributed the images to all of their friends. Eight days later, Audrie hanged herself from her bathroom shower. Subject of the Netflix documentary “Audrie and Daisy”, today we delve into this story that takes a look at sexual assault, rape culture, social media, and the roles of men and women in perpetuating, as well as combating sexual violence in society.

UPDATE: Last August, Daisy Coleman, 23, the rape survivor featured in the Netflix documentary Audrie & Daisy, was found dead by suicide in her home. In a devastating twist, nearly four months later, Daisy’s mother, Melinda — who initially posted about her daughter’s passing on Facebook — was also found dead by suicide at home, according to Rolling Stone. Daisy passed away on August 4, 2020 and Melinda passed away on December 6, 2020.
