At first, she wasn't sure what had happened. Had she been stabbed? Or worse, shot? In shock, she spun around on the corner of Ludlow and Delancey to see a man bolt away. He'd punched her. The hit left Harvard feeling nauseous and dizzy, but she didn't want to go to the hospital. The 30-year-old was hosting a comedy show later that night, and besides, she couldn't afford a medical bill. She walked to her apartment a few blocks away, popped some Tylenol, and made her way to the club. | Backstage, Harvard's hands were so unsteady that she could barely pour a glass of water. Her co-producer was worried and told her to see a doctor. The comedian initially coped with humor, telling friends at the show that getting punched in the head is a New York rite of passage. Harvard assumed it was an isolated incident — until earlier this week, when she started seeing clips of other women describing similar situations on TikTok. | Dive into all our stories on style, self, culture, and power.
