Several days later the magazine's editors received an email from the reporter with the subject line "our worst nightmare." In her deposition, Erdely called it the "most devastating moment" of her career. Eramo sued Erdely and Rolling Stone for $7.5 million, arguing that the story cast her as the "chief villain." Erdely went back to Jackie after other reporters started raising questions about the accuracy of the story, according to the documents. "We're going to have to run a retraction," wrote Sabrina Rubin Erdely about her now-discredited story, "A Rape on Campus."
