Annalynne McCord the 90210 star finally opens up about her sexual assault at the Life is Love event she hosted in Los Angeles on September 22 which benefited the Somaly Mam Foundation, an organazation that seeks to end human trafficking and slavery around the world.
while she gave her emotional speech, Annalynne revealed that she had been a victim of sexual assault.
"Has anyone ever been raped? Sexually abused? Not said 'no' when you felt you didn't have the right to?" she asked. "I know what it feels like."
"It happened to me once by somebody that I know, and it is a very interesting thing to feel that you do not have the voice to say 'no.' It wasn't an attack or anything like that—I just had no voice," she said. "I did not know how to say, 'I don't want this. Please do not do this to me.'"
"I did not have a voice," she explained. "And now I do, and I'm practicing using my voice for others. Finally I can say I was taken advantage of—not from my own shame that I did something to deserve that—and now I can have a clear conscience."
Several of McCord's 90210 costars came out to support her advocate.
