On her radio show this morning she said she'd had some negative responses from the social media post. Some people had asked what seat she was in while others took a victim blaming tone.
She urged others who had been through similar episodes to go to the police and ask for help.
"It is not OK and you must report it, even if the police don't solve the crime it will help if it happens again", she said.
Earlier, Taxi Federation executive director John Hart said that while the federation had received no complaint at this stage, he was disgusted by what he had read.
He urged Harvey to find out the taxi company involved as soon as possible.
"She should complain to the police," he said.
"This guy needs to be taken off the road, and the NZTA needs to cancel his licence. He shouldn't be operating a passenger vehicle."
