Her full statement read:
“Dear Papa Perc, I’m sorry that your mommy hasn’t cut you a birthday cake for the past three days because she can’t take my success or happiness… One day when you grow up, I hope you understand that when a girl says NO, it means NO. Please don’t hate me when you grow up. Hopefully, someone who truly cares about her will help her, and she will come out and read you a book.”
