in her statement yesterday...she made it seem like she kept all of this hidden for years from everyone but her husband.

-------

"I wanted to shout my story to the world with a megaphone to anyone who would listen, but even as angry as I was, I was worried about the potential backlash and damage going public might have on my career as a broadcaster.

But that was then, this is now. I’m no longer afraid."

"I had locked up those memories of helplessness and violation for a long time, but they all came rushing back to me and my hands clinched into fists like it was yesterday."

"Someday, I thought to myself, I would tell my story.

That day is now."

"I want the days of silence to be over forever."

but in the statement that her station made:
https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/931578979298967554

they say "In the 11 years since Al Franken forcibly kissed and groped Leeann Tweeden, she has never kept it secret. She has spoken about it to friends, family and co-workers."

those dont sound like the same story.
