*Since coming out about her past, Vanessa Williams is sharing her story with the world.
She talked about being molested as a child on “Nightline,” saying she also became pregnant as a teen but elected to have an abortion.
“Being pregnant is the most frightening thing that happens in your life,” says the 49-year-old. “I knew in high school that’s something that I was not prepared to do, or fight, or struggle with.”
She credited her over-sexualized past, however, on a lot of decisions she made in her youth.
“I think I was highly sexualized because I was in fifth grade and I had this experience,” she explained. “Because it feels good, you’re like, OK, well this is supposed to be normal. That’s not normal for a 10-year-old to be seduced.”
he former Miss World, who lost her title after a nude photo scandal, discusses her painful past further in her upcoming memoir, “You Have No Idea.”
Wow Vanessa! Still a mega fan of hers.
I had a male friend that was so in love with her when her first record came out in the late 80′s I think and she was having a album signing party at one of the local clubs, so he goes to see her and get her autograph and he said he couldn’t believe she had the worse skin ever. He said she had really bad acne…
LMAO! Tell us something that we don’t alrady know. She has been talking about it for years. She’s a spokesperson for acne medicine.
I’m not dense by no means but, what does “highly sexualized” mean? . . . . . .Fast? hot-to-trot?, strumpet?,
It means she was hot-wired for sex which is somewhat normal for children who have been molested/sexualized.
I co-sign with MelodyCool.
Vanessa wrote this book with her mother. I have nothing but the highest respect for both women and I will DEFINITELY be buying and reading this book.
