NSA whistleblower Reality Winner refuses to watch new film starring Sydney Sweeney - Daily Mail

NSA whistleblower Reality Winner refuses to watch the new HBO Max docudrama that encapsulates the jarring play-by-play of her FBI interrogation because she is 'doesn't want to relive the trauma' of her final moments of freedom before being arrested for leaking a classified report to the media.

Reality was working as a contractor for the agency in Augusta, Georgia, in 2017 when when she shared classified information on Russia's interference in the U.S. presidential election.

A few weeks later, Reality arrived home from the store expecting to put away her groceries, tend to her beloved pets, and prepare for her yoga class. Instead, she was met with a tense interrogation by FBI agents at her house that culminated with her arrest and three years in prison.

Now, Reality, 31, keeps a distance from any triggers that may force her to relive the trauma from that day, her lawyer, Alison Grinter, told DailyMail.com.
