On the afternoon of Sunday, November 2, 2025, Maddie Kowalski stopped by a house in Gainesville to drop off a present. The University of Florida sophomore had traveled to Japan that summer, where she’d picked up an action figure from the manga One Piece as a gift. 2025年11月2日星期日下午，麦迪·科瓦尔斯基（Maddie Kowalski）顺道来到盖恩斯维尔的一所房子里送礼物。这位佛罗里达大学（UF）的大二学生那年夏天曾去日本旅行，并买了一个《海贼王》手办作为礼物。
Students referred to this building near the main campus, which has long been associated with the UF chapter of the frat Phi Delta Theta, as “Fort.” A brick multifamily colonial-style house, it was a typical frat-boy residence with worn hardwood floors, exposed cables, and “THIS IS FORT” spray-painted in UF’s orange and blue colors on the fence lining the perimeter. Phi Delta Theta didn’t have a great reputation on campus; at the time, they were being investigated for accusations of hazing. But the boys who lived there were Kowalski’s best friends: “It was a safe space, I thought.” 学生们将这栋靠近主校区的建筑称为“堡垒”（Fort），它长期以来与佛罗里达大学的Phi Delta Theta兄弟会分会有关联。这是一栋砖砌的殖民风格多户住宅，典型的兄弟会男生宿舍，有着磨损的硬木地板、裸露的电缆，围栏上还用佛罗里达大学的橙色和蓝色喷漆写着“这就是堡垒”。Phi Delta Theta在校园里的名声并不好；当时，他们正因涉嫌欺凌新生而受到调查。但住在那里的人却是科瓦尔斯基最好的朋友：“我原以为那是一个安全的空间。”
A few hours later, Kowalski, then 19, was at an apartment drinking when a friend told her something that would alter the trajectory of her life: Did she know that a nude image of her was circulating at FSU, a university a few hours away? 几个小时后，当时19岁的科瓦尔斯基正在公寓里喝酒，一位朋友告诉她的一件事彻底改变了她的人生轨迹：她是否知道一张她的裸照正在几小时车程外的佛罗里达州立大学（FSU）流传？
Kowalski would later learn that the image was making the rounds on Snapchat, and people were talking about it on the anonymous campus social network YikYak. When she opened the app, “that’s when I started crashing out,” she says. As Kowalski scrolled, she saw what appeared to be hundreds of messages about a “DZ” girl. (She was in the sorority Delta Zeta.) They were now referring to not just an image, but a video. Some were joking about masturbating to it. 科瓦尔斯基后来得知，这张照片在Snapchat上流传，人们还在匿名校园社交网络YikYak上讨论它。她说，当她打开应用程序时，“我整个人崩溃了”。随着科瓦尔斯基不断向下滚动，她看到了似乎有数百条关于一名“DZ”女孩的消息。（她是Delta Zeta姐妹会的成员。）他们现在谈论的不仅仅是一张照片，而是一段视频。有些人甚至在开玩笑说对着视频自慰。
The situation was about to get worse. Around 6 that night, an anonymous account on X with the handle @SteveCumfull posted the video, saying: “Meet Maddie Kowalski, queen of Delta Zeta.” Kowalski had no idea who the poster was, but she immediately identified the setting in one shot as Fort. In the video, the floor is dirty, with debris strewn everywhere. She’s lying on the ground naked, her eyes half-closed, touching herself while flanked by a group of men in shorts. While their faces weren’t visible, they appeared to be some of the same guys she’d been hanging out with just a few hours prior, she realized with a sinking feeling in her gut. In another shot, from a different night and at a different location, she is being penetrated by two men. 情况变得更糟了。那天晚上6点左右，X上的一个匿名账号@SteveCumfull发布了这段视频，并写道：“认识一下Delta Zeta的女王，麦迪·科瓦尔斯基。”科瓦尔斯基不知道发布者是谁，但她一眼就认出视频中的一个场景就是“堡垒”。视频中，地板很脏，到处都是碎片。她赤身裸体地躺在地上，双眼半闭，在几个穿着短裤的男人的簇拥下抚摸自己。她感到一阵心悸，意识到虽然看不清他们的脸，但他们似乎就是几个小时前她还在一起玩的那群人。在另一个不同夜晚、不同地点的镜头中，她正被两名男子性侵。
The video that ended up going viral on X was a compilation of three different clips: one, mentioned above, that was taken at Fort earlier that fall, and two that were recorded during a separate sexual encounter with two strangers. Kowalski says she met the latter in October, not long before the video went viral, when she was walking home after a night out drinking. She was heavily intoxicated and only remembers “parts of” what happened: “I didn’t recognize myself at all.” She says she did not consent to being filmed, let alone have that content shared publicly. 最终在X上疯传的视频是三个不同片段的合集：一个是上述在秋季早些时候于“堡垒”拍摄的，另外两个是在与两名陌生人的另一次性接触中录制的。科瓦尔斯基说，她是在10月份，也就是视频疯传前不久，在一次外出喝酒回家的路上遇到后者的。当时她醉得很厉害，只记得发生事情的“片段”：“我完全认不出那是我自己。”她说她从未同意被拍摄，更不用说将这些内容公之于众了。
What had been a piece of salacious on-campus gossip, transmitted via anonymous social media and group texts, was now a national story. X removed the post containing the video, but late the following day, @SteveCumfull posted it again. Then they posted a screenshot of a cryptocurrency token they’d bought with Kowalski’s name on it, with a market cap of $11,400. “Put your children’s college savings into this,” they tweeted. @SteveCumfull could have been anyone: a close friend, a neighbor, a mutual with an axe to grind. Whoever they were, they now appeared to be profiting from the worst moment of Kowalski’s life. 原本只是通过匿名社交媒体和群聊传播的校园八卦，现在成了全国性的新闻。X删除了包含视频的帖子，但第二天深夜，@SteveCumfull又重新发布了它。随后，他们发布了一张截图，显示他们购买了一种以科瓦尔斯基名字命名的加密货币代币，市值为11,400美元。他们在推文中写道：“把你孩子的大学储蓄投进去吧。”@SteveCumfull可能是任何人：亲密的朋友、邻居，或者是怀恨在心的共同好友。无论他们是谁，他们现在似乎都在利用科瓦尔斯基人生中最糟糕的时刻牟利。
Over the next 24 hours, Kowalski sat paralyzed on her couch as anonymous people on the internet endlessly harassed her; they posted her old photos, her dad’s LinkedIn, and even his golf handicap. They called and texted her parents all through the night, saying things like, “I gave your daughter drugs and fucked her”; one anonymous man told Kowalski’s father he’d had sex with her and had since tested positive for HIV while playing the call live on Spaces, X’s live chat feature. Another posted on X placing bets on whether, by the end of the coming week, she’d start an OnlyFans or kill herself. 在接下来的24小时里，科瓦尔斯基瘫坐在沙发上，互联网上的匿名者不断骚扰她；他们发布了她的旧照片、她父亲的领英资料，甚至是他打高尔夫球的差点。他们整晚给她的父母打电话发短信，说着诸如“我给你女儿喂了药，还和她发生了关系”之类的话；一名匿名男子在X的实时聊天功能Spaces上直播通话时，告诉科瓦尔斯基的父亲，他曾与她发生过性关系，此后被检测出HIV阳性。另一个人在X上发帖打赌，看她到下周末是会开通OnlyFans还是会自杀。

Kowalski called her best friend, Lexie Blake, who was then a sophomore at the University of Mississippi. She “wasn’t even really saying words,” Blake recounts. “She was just sobbing, hysterical.” When Kowalski’s father showed up at her apartment, she was too humiliated to face him. She tried to jump out of her fifth-floor window. 科瓦尔斯基给当时在密西西比大学读大二的闺蜜莱克西·布莱克（Lexie Blake）打了电话。布莱克回忆说，她“甚至说不出话来”，“只是在歇斯底里地哭泣”。当科瓦尔斯基的父亲出现在她的公寓时，她感到羞愧难当，无法面对他。她试图从五楼的窗户跳下去。
By Monday afternoon, #Maddiekowalski was trending on X nationwide, with more than 1,200 posts using the hashtag. Content about her—much of it showing her incapacitated, naked, and engaging in sex acts—had been viewed more than 8.5 million times. 到周一下午，#Maddiekowalski在X上成为全国热搜，有超过1200条帖子使用了该标签。关于她的内容——其中大部分显示她失去知觉、赤身裸体并进行性行为——浏览量已超过850万次。
Kowalski had heard about this happening to other college girls before; one of them, a University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) student named Mary Kate Cornett, had been doxed in the same way nine months prior. These campaigns were the work of the burnerverse (or “beev,” or “BV”), a loosely connected network of anonymous “burner” accounts on X, mostly operated by students and alumni, with the primary purpose of discussing college sports. 科瓦尔斯基以前听说过其他女大学生遭遇过类似的事情；其中一位是密西西比大学（Ole Miss）的学生玛丽·凯特·科内特（Mary Kate Cornett），她在九个月前以同样的方式被“人肉”了。这些行动是“小号圈”（burnerverse，或称“beev”、“BV”）的杰作，这是一个在X上由匿名“小号”组成的松散网络，主要由学生和校友运营，其主要目的是讨论大学体育。
But Kowalski was learning in real time that, outside of talking shit about athletes and posting photos of crushed red Solo cups, this faceless corner of the internet has another mission: destroying the lives of young women. 但科瓦尔斯基正在实时体会到，除了在网上对运动员说三道四、发布被压扁的红色塑料杯照片之外，互联网上这个隐形角落还有另一个使命：摧毁年轻女性的生活。

Kowalski is tall and slender, with blue eyes and natural red roots that peek out of her dyed hair, which is sometimes brown and sometimes blonde—her “Neapolitan thing.” Like most 20-year-olds, she’s effortlessly deadpan, gushing about the TV show Dance Moms and skewering Miami club culture (“nobody there has a job … and it’s like, I’m not willing to talk to old men for a Birkin.”) 科瓦尔斯基身材高挑纤细，有着蓝色的眼睛，染过的头发发根处露出了天然的红色，有时是棕色，有时是金色——这是她的“那不勒斯风格”。像大多数20岁的年轻人一样，她说话时总是带着一种不费吹灰之力的冷幽默，会滔滔不绝地谈论电视节目《舞蹈妈妈》（Dance Moms），也会尖锐地批评迈阿密的夜店文化（“那里的人都没有工作……就像是，我可不愿意为了一个铂金包去和老男人搭讪。”）
