In 2018 Kursinski --- along with three other women[10] --- spoke out about being molested by Jimmy Williams, a famed horseman who died in 1993,[11] when they were children in his riding program at Flintridge.

What I don't understand is when some old friends say that we should not have opened this ugly door for fear it will make things worse.

"[10]A New York Times article alleged that Williams sexually abused girls and young women from the mid-1950s to the early 1990s, relying on interviews with 38 witnesses.
