The teenager was spotted by a reporter at a fast food restaurant while she was babysitting and was approached for the interview. She explained that she was being homeschooled and attending regular therapy.
“I can’t really complain right now. I babysit kids, and I work in Columbia. I am studying at home,” she said.
But she did not comment on the case due to legal restrictions.
“There’s been so much speculation about me,” she added. “There are people saying, ‘She’s not talking for this reason. She’s not talking for that reason.’ It’s not that. It’s just the publicity is affecting people. Everyone just needs to calm down. I am a human being. I can answer things fairly. But people are asking things that are too personal. People are talking to me like they know me. They didn’t talk to me before. They didn’t try to know me before. They have only liked me since I came back.”
Cummins has two children with his wife, who filed for divorce in April. He is awaiting a trial in January.
