Deville said, “Then, the sun goes down, and I’m uncontrollably shaking, and I’m in a hotel room under an alias name because I’m so paranoid that even though he’s arrested, he’s somehow gonna find me, and I have the dresser pushed up against the door. I made Mandy slide the dresser in front of the door on the fifteenth floor of this high rise, and paranoia starts to set in.”

She added, “It’s fight or flight, and then it’s shock, and I went into an autopilot of, ‘What needs to be done? What do we have to do?’ I don’t feel first. I do first, and then I feel later. You do what has to be done, and then you feel later, so I didn’t feel the full effect for what had happened for months. I was in full-blown fight-or-flight, I was living in fight-or-flight mode for months, maybe years.”

She called herself “stubborn” and had planned to sleep at her house after the incident. Deville had no idea what to do the after she went through this. Luckily, her friends and family were there to support her all the time.

Deville moved to a safe house for some time after the incident. She thought the person would come again to find her even though the police arrested him. However, while being in the safe house Deville got immense support from her parents.

In the same interview, she shared her mother stayed with her as long as Deville wanted. Unfortunately, she had to leave after sometime due to work. Similar thing with her father. He stayed but had to leave due to work.
