“Leave her alone! Let her take as much time as she needs for her mental health. We both deserve patience and grace, so stop harassing her and stop throwing shellfish at her,” Yang’s Moo Deng said.

Yang clarified the next day that the sketch was in support of Roan. “If my personal stance and the piece aren’t absolutely clear in terms of supporting then there it is I guess," Yang wrote in an Instagram story. “Everything she has ever asked for has been reasonable and even then we can connect it to another story about boundaries or whatever.”
