Let me be clear. I don't doubt that something more happened than this young woman losing track of her drinking and getting drunk. But let's look at the situation.
She has a hole in her clothes and a bruise in the same area. This could have been due to sitting on a loose nail on a barstool. If someone actually did inject her with something, to what end? She was with friends and immediately sought medical help, and I think this would easily have been predicted by a potential attacker. Nothing short of a sick desire to simply incapacitate her would be the motive, and that perp would have continued with this activity and likely been caught by now. More likely is her drinks were made overly strong, she hadn't had enough to eat, she suffered some odd medical incident, or (still not very likely) a drink was spiked by someone not realizing she was not a good target for further crime.
Clearly she feels scared to go out or enjoy her 20s, whatever that means. She needs counseling to get over her irrational fears - which, statistically speaking, would be just as irrational if she had been injected.
l would disagree that “…something more happened than this young woman losing track of her drinking and getting drunk.” She has attained the 21st century’s equivalent of fame: the status of Victim.
l also note that Chloe was interviewed on behalf of the BBC by “Zoe and Dawn.” l wonder how exhaustive, demanding and detailed that interview was…
l don’t believe that she requires counselling. l believe that she needs to be told not to be so stupid, and to get on with her life.
