"I am a woman and I have been sexually assaulted more than once !! It was not my fault when I was 5, 6 12 , 13 , 15. - All by older men who I thought were safe ! I rarely have known safety and was always blamed for the assaults and, my loudness , and curiosity."Last year saw a number of former child stars speak out about sexual offences committed towards children working in the film industry. Most famous of these were from Stand By Me and Goonies star Corey Feldman and Dollhouse and Buffy actress Eliza Dushku. https://www.instagram.com/p/BNj_rKMBBIV/?taken-by=elizadushku O'Neal who has been an actress since she was ten years old went on to say that;
"It's taken in me almost 55 years to know how to advocate for myself."The star has spoken out in the past about being neglected and abused but her latest post is particularly poignant and hard hitting. If you or anyone you know has been affected by this sensitive issue you can contact the Rape Crisis helpline on 1800 778888.
