Taking to Twitter, Kazan recalled an uncomfortable encounter that she had with Ghomeshi while appearing on Q in 2013.
She says that Ghomeshi hit on her moments after meeting her, saying that she was "just his type" for being "funny" and "sexy" with "just the right amount of damage."
Later, Kazan says Ghomeshi showed up at a party and would not leave her alone. Read her full account below.
Not that I need personal experience to believe the women accusing Jian Ghomeshi, but let me say this: in 2013, Ghomeshi interviewed me (1/5)

Before we went on air, he told me I was "just his type." "Funny, sexy, just the right amount of damage," he said (after talking abt 3 mins).

This within the context of a professional interview, with producers in the room. I was shaken, but tried to hide it. Gotta be game, right?

Later he showed up @ party I was at & wdnt leave me alone. His unwanted attention made me feel like I'd "asked for it." I felt dirty & sad.

I think of the way he made me feel, without ever laying a hand on me, and I tremble with rage for the women who were denied justice today.

This behavior is insidious, but so is a culture that condones it, by turning a blind eye, or shaming the victim. We internalize these mores.
