Delectable actress, Stella Damasus, has disclosed that she was sexually molested at the age of eight by a relative.
The actress made the disclosure in an interview with the veteran rapper, Bouqui.
She said:
“I hate it when people come and say this thing happened to you; why are you just talking about it now.
“Bouqui, it has happened to me. I don’t say this anywhere. I have never said this before. It has happened to me. It wasn’t rape. It was molestation, by someone who was supposed to be related to me.
“I was eight years old. I couldn’t talk about it for years because it traumatized me. Nobody knew. I was dealing with it myself.
“Why couldn’t I talk, I knew what happened to others who had spoken up about it. They were disgraced. If you see the shame, even in school, once the word got out, it was about her being a prostitute. Even as young as we were, they would call you names. So man has seen you?
“Man has touched you?
“It’s not about what you’re going through. At the end of the day, you spend years dealing with your trauma and we are not in a society that believes in “Oh, go and see a therapist to talk about it for counselling.”
In her own case, she said she has been able to heal over time.
