While scrolling in the bird app, I find out from Bethany Baptiste's twitter account (not giving Melon Husk the satisfaction) that notorious reviewbomber and well-known two-faced person Cait Corrain has been interviewed by The Daily Beast.
For some reason, The Daily Beast thought giving her a platform to give out her (unbelievable) excuses for reviewbombing is a good idea. What many are seeing and reading: they're giving her leeway to broadcast her gaslighting and lies and excuses to everyone else.
There are receipts.
And more receipts:
I'm taking screenshots from this travesty of an article so you don't have to...
Oooh, what a coincidence that her victims were all authors of color. Shocking, absolutely shocking. The one person who became racist because the medicines made her do it.
Puh-lease. Roseanne Barr tried that and nobody bought it.
They (the agent, publisher and book distributors) were right in dropping her like a hot potato. I would venture a guess that they've seen some glimpses of her narcissistic behavior. The reveal of her ridiculous actions sealed it for them.
LOL, really? There have been a LOT of people dropping receipts of your behavior long before you were approached to publish your book.
Bethany mentioned on the bird app that it seemed like Cait visited a professional to gather some mental-health buzzwords. The article IS full of those words. This part, in particular:
And this part made me go WTF?!
Did the same medication also make her write favorable reviews for her own book? Strange that she didn't mention that.
Yeah--not a racist rampage, but you somehow managed to target POC authors. Mmmhmmm... and then when you were getting the heat, you invented Lilly, the supposed Reylo who created those accounts on Goodreads. Effectively throwing a fandom under the bus, rather stupidly considering how close-knit Reylos are.
Also, did Cait deliberately choose this as the userpic for "Lilly"?
Oh look, Lilly is clearly the bad guy!
Yeah, so she's trying to spin herself as an ambassador for disabled people and mental health. Keep in mind that Bethany Baptiste--the person I mentioned at the beginning of this post--is one of Cait's Goodreads victims, is POC, and also disabled.
However--autism and mental health do not result in people doing what she has done. And she has said hardly anything in this article about being sorry for what she has done. All she did was to blame it on her autism, mental health and the medications she was prescribed, when there are dozens of people who have interacted with her who say otherwise: that if you are not worth anything to her, she will not treat you well.
Hell, there were folks who took screenshots from her own Twitter feed that did not age well.
Yeah, I don't think she did anything about that.
Also...
