The
link below recounts the story of Stephanie Giorgi, who was raped, and because
of it, her hair began to fall out. The story recounts how she went out with
friends and began to drink, and once she was too intoxicated to properly
function, and considered a “hot mess” by her friends, they decided to call her
a cab to drive her home. During this ride, she was sexually assaulted by the
service driver, and woke up the next morning, like many victims do, telling
herself that nothing happened and completely ignoring the incident. The
daunting stress of the incident caused her hair to fall out, where she
ultimately decided to go bald. She mentions that “because she did not allow
herself to cry, her body was crying for her” which is what caused the severe
hair loss.
In this incident, a male
service driver assaulted Stephanie Giorgi and the individual that raped her
most likely has no idea the repercussions that his decisions have caused
someone else. This is mainly because since he was not caught or prosecuted, he
will never have to be held accountable for his actions. It is terrifying that
someone who is inebriated and seeking help from a service driver to simply do
their job and get them home safe is able to take advantage of an individual,
the way that Stephanie Giorgi was taken advantage of.
