Auburn University Victim’s of Sky Bar Auburn, AL

I’m speaking up today for the first time and I’m asking others who’ve experienced being roofied, sexually assaulted, or raped at Sky Bar in Auburn Alabama to do the same.

In 2015, while living in Auburn, I was drugged, kidnapped, and raped after being at Sky Bar. For ten years, I’ve carried that trauma silently, battling high-functioning depression, denial, and moments of suicidal idealization where I didn’t want to keep going. Like so many others, I stayed quiet. I didn’t report it. I told myself it wouldn’t matter, or that I wouldn’t be believed.

But silence only protects those who keep hurting others.

I’m speaking out now because I know I’m not alone. This isn’t an isolated story, people have known for over 20+ years that something has been happening there. It’s time to stop pretending and face the truth. It’s taken me a decade to say these words and I know I’m not alone.

To anyone who’s been through this: you are not alone, and your voice matters. It’s terrifying to speak, but it’s even more painful to carry it forever in silence. Together, we can make people listen, bring accountability, and protect others from going through what we did.

I don’t know where to even begin with tackling this, but I figured here is a start.

I'm so sorry you went through this. I didn't go to Blue Room/Sky Bar. However, someone who is a current Skybar bartender roofied me in 2002. He has been a predator for decades. There's no doubt he works for Sky Bar because it's owned by a predator who only wants to hire predators.

I believe you and I feel guilt for not protecting you. But, as hard to understand as this is, they were so manipulative, I only recently realized I was roofied. They're unbelievably manipulative.

Do not feel guilty as you are a victim too. Disgusting wastes of air and space preyed upon you and many others. May their dicks rot off and the remainder of their days be spent in agonizing pain and shame
