I'm usually private but I want to publicly say I am so grateful that this man existed and don't know if the trajectory of my life would be the same if he hadn't.”Molly warned the readers that her story contained violence and sexual assault.“We were neighbors in Chinatown,” she said, referring to James Ransome. “Friendly, overlapping social circles. I was attacked at the threshold of our building. I screamed for help. No one came. My attacker put his hands around my throat so I would stop making noise. I couldn't breathe. I remember the certainty that I was going to die or be raped as I was choked unconscious.” View this post on Instagram Instagram PostShe continued the story about James Ransone:“PJ heard my screams and ran to help. He came running shirtless, carrying a bat or pipe — I'm not sure which, because I never saw him in action. He scared my attacker, who ran. PJ chased him to the building he fled to. Because of the chase, the police were able to identify him, a repeat sexual offender. PJ saved me. I'm not sure if I would have the same life if he hadn't run down that night. Even as an adult, I'm not sure how l would have handled the weight of what could have happened or how long it would take to heal - I was already emotionally fragile.”Molly then went on to talk about how James Ransone’s experience with sexual abuse might have haunted him during his life. The actor revealed in 2021 that he was sexually assaulted as a child by his math tutor in 1992.“What's especially hard for me with PJ's passing is that he lived with that kind of violence. What I was spared, he endured in a different form, at an age where there is no emotional defense, and the self is still forming. I get the sense that PJ's life was haunted by what happened to him then. This world is rarely gentle to people who are hurt, vulnerable, acting out.”She concluded the lengthy post.“Over the years, I have thought of PJ from time to time. I wanted to reach out to him to let him know how grateful I was that he ran towards my screams. I didn't. I regret that.”More details on James Ransone’s passingJames Ransone died on December 19.
