Key Points:

- Doe expressed distress over rumors damaging her reputation and wanted to find the "rats" leaking information, while Ingalls dismissed the gossip as annoying fan behavior and suggested people were jealous.
- Doe indicated she was open-minded about sexuality and urged others to "grow up," acknowledging that changing attitudes might make such incidents more common.
- She suspected another accused fraternity member, Jonathan Newell, of sharing details, though Ingalls denied this and blamed upperclassmen for spreading rumors.
