America Ferrera claims in an Instagram post that a grown man sexually assaulted her at the age of nine.
“First time I can remember being sexually assaulted I was 9-years-old,” the actress, who is best known for her role in Ugly Betty, wrote on Instagram. “I told no one and lived with the shame and guilt thinking all along that I, a 9-year-old child, was somehow responsible for the actions of a grown man.”
“I had to see this man on a daily basis for years to come,” she continued. “He would smile at me and wave, and I would hurry past him, my blood running cold, my guts carrying the burden of what only he & I knew — that he expected me to shut my mouth and smile back.”
The post was a participation in the #MeToo campaign started by fellow actress Alyssa Milano, in which women have been encouraged to speak about their experiences of sexual assault following the claims surrounding the disgraced movie executive Harvey Weinstein and other high power figures in Hollywood.

Again Raped by the invisible hollow man.
And if Hillary Clinton was the lawyer defending the child rapist, the rapist would get off scot-free because the child was “asking for it”.
Hillary has been enabling child/women abuse her whole life long.
similar situation with my third mate. she and her younger sister were both abused by their step-dad over a period of several years. tried talking thru it, she did therapy and then we both did couples group therapy, and ending up splitting. no kids together, fortunately. she took her own life ten years later. once their broke you can't fix 'em.
peace brother
Dear God, guys, some might think it "unmanly" of me to say so, but, my heart goes out to you. And to the victims, too, because that part about permanent damage is right, in every case I ever ran in to. It took me a lot of pain & heartbreak to figure that out, and to care, but "stay away", and I never went through as much as you did...
No, she didn't. We didn't either. Here I am at almost 55 years old trying to piece my life back together and dealing with two sons (19, 21) who know something's wrong with their mother but don't know what it is. They know they don't have the mother/son relationship they should have through it all and that breaks my heart. There's nothing I can do other than be the best father I can which includes encouraging them to love their mother and do their best to have some sort of relationship with her.
As for her, she not surprisingly has been diagnosed with a dissociative disorder and is incapable of forming deep human relationships and emotional bonds because of the sexual abuse she suffered. That's typical of anyone male or female who's a victim of sexual abuse and the divorce rate among those who've been sexually abused is well over 80%.
Pastors, Counselors all told me I fought an uphill battle for many years. I felt it was the right thing to do at the time as I took my marriage vows quite seriously. Now I'm not so sure it was the right thing to do. Some days I can look myself in the mirror and say to myself "I did all I could" and other days I second guess everything.
All I know for certain is this: One day I'll stand before God and He will be the judge of whether or not I did the right thing, and I did all I could given what I knew at the time. I do not look forward to that day either way.
Yes, finding out explains quite a bit. If I may offer one bit of unsolicited advice, let the pieces fall where they may and don't look for the missing ones to try and complete the puzzle. It'll just drive you crazy as it did me. I'm still (obviously) working on letting it go.
Peace to you.
That was the right thing to do.
Now it is the “all men are pigs” campaign, because you know, anecdotal evidence “proves” a general stereotype is true, that ALL men are pigs. /sarc
Weinstein has made it trendy for women to claim all sorts of sexual assault. For some it is true. Some are bragging. Many are trying to appear Hip and Modern by jumping on the trend. Many are hoping to participate in the building financial rape of prominent men. Many on the left are trying to limit the damage to the sacrificial lamb Harvey. He may not even be the worst of the phenomenon. The worst of it is probably found closer to DC and NY.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Thank you for telling it like it is. People who suffered rape as children, their lives are a struggle in the aftermath if they somehow manage not to kill themselves.
