An acquaintance of mine
in the Romance Industry
is playing the victim role,
trying to gain sympathy
and sales.
I’ve had private conversations
with this ‘friend.’
I know she’s guilty
of what she’s being accused of.
But I’m an ethical person.
I don’t share private conversations.
I DID tell buddies
not to get in the middle of it.
That’s all I said,
all I could say
without betraying confidences.
Pay attention to general warnings.
That is usually the only way
an ethical person
can warn you
about unethical dealings
she/he has private knowledge of.
