Cory Chase recalled how she unexpectedly became part of a media frenzy after Ted Cruz liked a scene from one of her films. She said she didn’t learn about the controversy until several days later because Hurricane Irma had left her without power. When she finally checked her phone, she found hundreds of voicemails and messages from reporters. Cory also expressed frustration that the video being circulated was pirated and described the entire situation as bizarre.
“When I turned my phone on, I had hundreds of voicemails from people trying to get ahold of me. I went on Twitter, and it basically told me I needed to filter my mentions because there were too many.”
