'I've been thrown to lions' – a gagged woman's view
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A former Miss Wales broke down in tears on television yesterday as she compared her situation to that of the married Premier League footballer who served her with an injunction preventing her from discussing their affair.
Imogen Thomas, 28, said she had never had any intention of identifying the player but was angry he had remained anonymous while her role in the affair had been made public. She said that, unlike the footballer, she didn't have the financial resources to take out her own injunction.
She said: "I didn't have £50,000 to get an injunction. I have been thrown to the lions and [told to] deal with it. I can't deal with it. I am coping with a lot of stress."
