In a recent interview, Ellen DeGeneres talked about the alleged sexual assault she supposedly experienced as a child. DeGeneres claims that her stepfather sexually raped her in an interview with David Letterman for the upcoming second season of Netflix’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, which debuts on May 31.
In the episode, DeGeneres tells Letterman, “It’s a very horrific, horrible story, and the only reason I’m actually talking about it in detail is because I want other women to never, you know, ever let someone do that.
Not long after they wed, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer,” continues DeGeneres. They started having a very, very sexual relationship after she had a breast removed, which I found to be rather unpleasant. He also informed me that he wanted to feel my breasts in order to prevent upsetting her since he had discovered a lump in her breast while she was away.
According to DeGeneres, she was always persuaded that her dad needed to feel her breasts. She asserts that she kicked the glass out of the door when he tried to break it down since she knew what it would result in. Since I was attempting to please my mother and already doing so, I didn’t want to tell her.
She soon revealed what had happened to her mother, according to DeGeneres. They lived with her stepfather for a further 18 years, she claims, because her mother didn’t believe her at the time. He eventually lost track of her mother, according to DeGeneres, “because he’d revised the tale so many times.”
The majority of women, in DeGeneres’ opinion, simply don’t feel like they have a voice. This is the first time I’ve ever discussed it with someone other than my close buddies. To put it another way, we feel unworthy or are afraid to stand up and say no. When victims aren’t believed just because we don’t make things up, it enrages me, especially now that I see people speaking out. I like males, but they get away with so much, so many things. It’s time for us to speak up, to put it simply. We should start moving forward right away.
