Jodie emphasized that she doesn’t want what happened to her to overshadow what the protest was really about.
“People are shocked when they see Stephanie Tanner, something happened to her, and all of a sudden, it makes it more real,” Jodie started. “And I hate that it takes people knowing someone, being someone that they recognize, for people to be outraged or take action.”
She continued, stressing that she doesn’t want to “make this about me” and wants to “continue to bring the focus back to women’s rights and also to police brutality. If people are disturbed by what they saw, let me tell you: I’ve spent a lot of time protesting out in the streets, and that is a very minor incident of police brutality.”

Jodie did explain what happened further: She had been walking down the side of a road in LA with other activists Saturday when she said a cop “just snatched my bag and tossed me forward.”
“We took care of the situation. We didn’t use that as an excuse to do anything further,” she said. “We continued our march, and we were out there probably another four or five hours marching downtown.”
