The Traitors winner Meryl Williams opens up about daily abuse she receives on social media
"I do experience it so I did know what it’d be like for people to stare and point, because that’s what I’ve experienced before. I thought, by doing this, I can at least change some people’s ideas."
Meryl went on to explain that her motivation for doing the series was to show people that she was capable of doing the same tasks and challenges that everyone else was. "The whole reason why I wanted to go on the show was to raise awareness. A lot of people don’t think that I can do the same things as they can do," Meryl continued.
"I thought, if I go on the show, if I do the exact same challenges as everyone else, we all had level playing fields. So, a lot of challenges, people were like, 'Did you get extra time?' No, we literally started the same. I just wanted to show I could do the exact same.""I just want to show people of all disabilities, including my condition, that they can do whatever they wanna do," she added.
