Griffin attributed the disparity to societal power imbalances, noting the man was about 30 years older, and warned that ethical breaches erode public trust in journalism amidst layoffs and an industry emphasis on personal branding. Griffin called the alleged Kennedy situation inappropriate and said she would not have engaged.
