An associate of hers also told officers that she had very little energy and would burst into tears out of the blue after the incident, according to the report.

“Guess what, you made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears,” she continued, “because I stayed up all night writing this sketch. I was so excited. I came in, I asked if you had any questions and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and were like ‘It’s not funny.’”

Fineman confirmed it, initially saying she was "not gonna say anything. But I’m like, no, if you’re gonna go on your platform and be rude, guess what? You made I, Chloe Fineman burst into tears because I stayed up late writing a sketch."

“And then I rushed out of his office. I ran to the toilets and burst into tears.”
