Kathy spoke to Andy Cohen on SXM about the documentary.
“It was too much after just watching a lot of the little clips, the promos and trailers,” Kathy said. “You can imagine me just finding out [about the abuse], and I’m not one of those people, ‘Oh this is about me’, because it’s not about me. But yeah, it really was so devastating, the way I was told. For her to keep that in for 20 years.”
“I said to her finally a few weeks ago, and then when I went to Washington with her, I said, ‘I’m just not ready to watch it.’ So when we got back, I did watch it, and we held hands,” she added.
“We held hands for an hour watching this thing, and just the energy that I was feeling from her and how relieved and happy that she was that I was watching.”
The school is now under new ownership after being sold twenty years ago.
