“It's definitely the people who reach out somewhat anonymously who are like, ‘I'm a professional player and I'm still in the closet,' ” Williams shared.
“Hockey players, football players, basketball players, yeah. So, then they're reaching out to Rachel [Reid], our author, who will then kind of relay these lovely anonymous emails. And sometimes they're just reaching out privately through, like, Instagram. And those ones are the ones that really just kind of hit you and go, ‘Oh, so this is a fun show, and it's celebratory, but also sometimes it's just hitting people right in the nerve.'
