American comedian; Ellen Degenres who is famous for her show; The Ellen DeGenres show has spoken up about her experience with sexual abuse as a child.
She mentioned that the abuse began when she was about 15/16, when her mother was diagnosed of breast cancer. She said; “He told me… he’d felt a lump in her breast and needed to feel my breasts,”
“I didn’t know about bodies. I don’t know that breasts are all different,” she said.
“Anyway, he convinced me that he needs to feel my breasts and then he tries to do it again another time, and then another time he tries to break my door down and I kicked the window out and ran ’cause I knew it was going to go more to something.
” I should never have protected her, I should’ve protected myself, and I didn’t tell her for a few years and then I told her, and then she didn’t believe me and then she stayed with him for 18 more years.”
She added that her mother eventually left him, however her story was being for the benefit of other young girls out there.
“That’s the only reason I think it’s important to talk about it,” she said. “Because there’s so many young girls and it doesn’t matter how old you are. When I see people speaking out, especially now, it angers me when victims aren’t believed, because we just don’t make stuff up.
“And I like men, but there are so many men that get away with so much.”
