When prompted to reveal juicy anecdotes akin to Ione Skye's candid tales involving John Cusack and Matthew Perry, Dita responded with a enigmatic smile, hinting at uncertainty. Her composed demeanor left audiences pondering whether she would ever bare all her secrets.

She recounted, "During the height of the MeToo movement, my male acquaintances inquired, 'Has anything like that ever happened to you?' To which I replied, 'Absolutely!'" Dita continued, "Every friend I possess has a story to tell. It seems everyone has encountered such experiences, and often, you were expected to brush it off or laugh it away."
