Honestly, it’s wild how some of you are still debating whether Sonia was “too rude” when the real issue is: her boundary was ignored, her consent was pushed, and she was retaliated against for daring to say no.
If a provider says “don’t review or discuss me,” that should be the end of it. Arguing with her about how she enforces that boundary, or expecting her to stay soft and accommodating while being disrespected is just another form of entitlement. You’re not owed her emotional labor, and you’re definitely not owed her politeness after crossing a line she clearly set.
Meanwhile, the guy who lied, grabbed her face, broke her rules, and threatened a bad review? Somehow not the focus.
Sonia doesn’t need defending, she laid out her side clearly, respectfully, and with more transparency than anyone deserved. But let’s stop pretending that firmness = rudeness. If you want kindness and softness, maybe start by offering respect first.
