Good morning Her Campus! With a break-neck news cycle, there is no possible way for you to stay on top of every story that comes across your feeds—we’re all only human, after all.
But, life comes at you fast. So grab a cup of coffee and settle in for this quick and dirty guide to stories you might’ve been sleeping on (like, literally. It’s early.)
TripAdvisor Apologizes for Deleting a Woman’s Resort Review Accounting Her Rape
The New York Times reports that TripAdvisor has apologized for repeatedly removing a woman’s review of a Mexican resort that included her experience of a security guard raping her. 35-year-old Kristie Love’s 2010 story was included in a Journal Sentinel investigation on TripAdvisor removing travelers’ reviews about rapes and assaults at hotels. The Milwaukee paper discovered that two other women were sexually assaulted at the same resort. In addition to restoring Love’s comment to the resort’s review page, TripAdvisor released a statement saying, “We are horrified that this victim experienced this assault on her vacation in Mexico, and other travelers should be aware of this incident.” The site claims that Love’s original review was removed because “all language needed to be G-rated,” but now says that its review policy has changed. Over a dozen users ultimately reported that TripAdvisor removed their reviews at some point.

Trump Calls Japan a “Warrior Nation” Before His Visit
Days before departing on his five-country, 12-day trip to Asia, President Donald Trump announced his support for Japan amidst both countries’ rising tensions with North Korea in regards to possible nuclear threats. Calling Japan a “warrior nation,” Trump said about its geographical closeness to North Korea, “They should be worried. I tell China, and I tell everyone else that listens…you’re going to have yourself a big problem with Japan pretty soon if you allow this to continue with North Korea.” Trump also said that he believes his trip to Asia “is one of the more important trips a president has made.”

Jimmy Fallon Has a New Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Flavor
Following the success of his ice cream flavor The Tonight Dough, Jimmy Fallon has partnered with Ben & Jerry’s once again to release the new flavor Marshmallow Moon. Apparently Marshmallow Moon has been in the works for awhile, and Ben & Jerry’s even considered launching it instead of Tonight Dough. Based on what’s in the new concoction, I can see why. Marshmallow Moon consists of vanilla ice cream with marshmallows, graham cracker swirls and fudge flakes. Fallon will donate his proceeds from the flavor’s sales to the SeriousFun Children’s Network, which is a recreational camp for kids with serious illnesses. Marshmallow Moon is only available for a short time in a limited number of stores, so track it down when you still can!
