1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,440


2
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,160
KELLEE KIM: I just feel a lot
of pressure to do right by not

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,180
only my own voice, but
the voices of many others

4
00:00:09,180 --> 00:00:11,260
who have experienced
this, or reached out to me

5
00:00:11,260 --> 00:00:13,860
and shared their stories of
inappropriate touching, sexual

6
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:15,390
harassment, sexual assault.

7
00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:17,370
KYLIE MAR: During the
season 39 "Survivor--

8
00:00:17,370 --> 00:00:20,370
Reunion Special," Kellee
Kim was given an opportunity

9
00:00:20,370 --> 00:00:23,700
to voice her feelings about how
CBS and the show's producers

10
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:25,650
handle her claims of
being inappropriately

11
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:27,630
touched by another contestant.

12
00:00:27,630 --> 00:00:31,900
KELLEE KIM: I think one of the
things that has been, and was,

13
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:37,180
the hardest thing was the fact
that Dan remained in the game

14
00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:38,900
even after I spoke up.

15
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:40,000
KYLIE MAR: Earlier
in the season,

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,040
Kellee spoke out
about being repeatedly

17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,670
touched by Dan Spilo,
despite her requests to stop.

18
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:47,560
Producers spoke with
Dan at the time,

19
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,300
but he was allowed
to stay on the show

20
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,850
and compete, much to
Kellee's disbelief.

21
00:00:51,850 --> 00:00:54,220
KELLEE KIM: When someone goes
through something like this,

22
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:57,760
or anything remotely like
it, to not be supported--

23
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,740
to not be supported
and not be believed

24
00:00:59,740 --> 00:01:02,400
is really the hardest thing.

25
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,710
It's one of the hardest things.

26
00:01:03,710 --> 00:01:05,560
KYLIE MAR: Soon after
voicing her concern,

27
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,990
Kellee was eliminated
from the competition.

28
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:10,360
And two weeks later, Dan
was kicked off the show

29
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,030
after more allegations
of inappropriate behavior

30
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:15,267
were reported by one of
the show's producers.

31
00:01:15,267 --> 00:01:17,200
KELLEE KIM: I think the most
important thing, when I think

32
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,620
about this situation
and what happened,

33
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:24,670
is that I hope that this
season of "Survivor"

34
00:01:24,670 --> 00:01:27,580
isn't just defined by
inappropriate touching

35
00:01:27,580 --> 00:01:29,680
or sexual harassment.

36
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,630
I hope that it's
defined by change.

37
00:01:31,630 --> 00:01:33,250
KYLIE MAR: Executive
producer Jeff Probst

38
00:01:33,250 --> 00:01:36,880
admitted that "Survivor" did not
handle the situation properly--

39
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,740
JEFF PROBST: I
want to acknowledge

40
00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:41,110
and apologize for your pain.

41
00:01:41,110 --> 00:01:43,615
You didn't ask for it,
and you didn't deserve it.

42
00:01:43,615 --> 00:01:45,340
KYLIE MAR: --and promised
that, going forward,

43
00:01:45,340 --> 00:01:47,590
the show would implement
changes to avoid

44
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:50,860
situations like the one
Kellee and others endured.

45
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:52,870
KELLEE KIM: Ultimately, my
biggest hope is that each one

46
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:57,280
of us-- each individual, each
institution, each organization,

47
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,160
and especially CBS and
"Survivor" can take this,

48
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,070
learn from it, and do better.

49
00:02:03,070 --> 00:02:06,930
You know, I fundamentally
believe that we can do better.

50
00:02:06,930 --> 00:02:08,000
