Anna Graham Hunter posted a letter on Twitter signed by herself, Wendy Riss Gatsiounis, Kathryn Rossetter, Melissa Kester, Cori Thomas and two women who wished to remain anonymous that thanked Oliver for confronting Hoffman. “While the questions you asked may not have led to the constructive conversation you hoped for, the fact that you asked them at all is what matters most,” said the letter.

Earlier this week, Oliver expressed regret over a heated confrontation with Hoffman earlier this month over the sexual misconduct allegations against the actor. “[I]t didn’t really go anywhere constructive,” Oliver said on The Russell Howard Hour. “So the whole thing just made me feel sad.” (Mediaite)
