Kat and I have not said a bad word about her, and we wish her the best. It just makes me really sad, because we have so much history together. It’s honestly not what we wanted to happen. Do you think we wanted to fire our bass player? It’s not a fun thing to do. Two months before we let her go, Kat and I were so upset we couldn’t eat, we couldn’t sleep{{en dash}}we really didn’t want to do it, but we didn’t have any other choice. There are many, many, many reasons, but of course she’s making it so it’s our deal, like she did nothing wrong at all. Time heals all, but I don’t think there’s enough time for this one.<ref>{{cite web|website=City Pages|title=Ex-Babes in Toyland bassist says rape essay got her booted from band|url=http://www.citypages.com/music/ex-babes-in-toyland-bassist-says-rape-essay-got-her-booted-from-band-7926655|last=Boller, Jay|date=December 30, 2015|access-date=May 18, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171219101527/http://www.citypages.com/music/ex-babes-in-toyland-bassist-says-rape-essay-got-her-booted-from-band-7926655|archive-date=December 19, 2017}}</ref>}}
