The controversy surrounding Tessa Blanchard continues to unfold. Allysin Kay, who accused Blanchard of bullying and racism earlier this month, tweeted a response to claims that Blanchard is trying to “spread lies” about her.
I said what I had to say so I’d love to move on, but I just got several msgs about @Tess_Blanchard trying to spread lies.
Unfortunately for you, I’ve built my 11-yr reputation on being respectful. Instead of owning up to your mistakes, you lie, scheme & prove you haven’t changed pic.twitter.com/6119kc3Idj

The tweet includes messages that accuse Blanchard of “trying to dig dirt up” on Kay. In the tweet, seemingly addressed to Blanchard, Kay has a few choice words for her. “Unfortunately for you, I’ve built my 11-yr reputation on being respectful,” wrote Kay. “Instead of owning up to your mistakes, you lie, scheme & prove you haven’t changed.”
In a second tweet, Kay says she’ll “absorb this frontline of idiocy to shield [her] friend.”
This is one reason people don’t speak up. It’s also one of the reasons I felt I needed to be the one to do so. I have a thick skin, there’s no dirt on me, I have a large platform & amt of colleagues who vouch for me. I’ll gladly absorb this frontline of idiocy to shield my friend
