"It's not the topic I would've chosen, but it's the topic I was given," said Miller, now 27, of her new book recounting the traumatic experience, "Know My Name." When asked why she attended the frat party in the first place -- given that she wasn't in college anymore and it wasn't even the school she had attended -- she explained, "My sister was home for the weekend, and it was my way of spending time with her.
"I just thought I had passed out somewhere and that there was a suspicious man at the party who had been behaving in an odd way," she said. "I had no idea that he was connected directly to me in any way." "The first thing I did after reading the article was read the comments, and there were many hateful words," she continued. "'What was she doing at a frat party?' 'This isn't really rape.' 'Why was she alone?' 'She's the predator because she's older.' 'Why would you ever get that drunk?' It was endless."
"I felt if anyone ever found out that that was me, that it would be absolutely humiliating. I felt dirty and embarrassed. My dream is to write children's books. I felt no parent," Miller said, fighting back tears, "is going to want me as a role model if I'm just the discarded, drunk, half-naked body behind a dumpster. Nobody wants to be that."
