"It is bittersweet," Pettipiece told the National Post in Canada. "I'm happy, obviously, the charges were dismissed. The sad part is the damage it did to my career. It has changed everything in my life. I lost my career, I lost my job, the life I was building and it’s been really difficult."

"The tough thing is, how do you get out to people that you are innocent? And this damage was done for something so ridiculous," she continued. "I'm not sure of the future. For now, I'm going to stay at home and focus on my kids. I'd like to figure out which direction I'm going to go in."
