Abigail Breslin Revealed Being Raped By Her Ex-boyfriend: Why She Didn't Report The Rape
Breslin was raped by her former boyfriend and she took to Instagram to make the horrifying revelation and confessed that she did not report him as she didn't want to view herself as a ‘victim’.
Breslin wrote on her Instagram post on 22 April 2018:
“I did not report my rape. I didn’t report it because of many reasons. First off, I was in complete shock and total denial. I didn’t want to view myself as a ‘victim’ so I suppressed it and pretended it never happened.”
She explained that she was feared of not being believed and also hurt her family and friends:
“Second of all, I was in a relationship with my rapist and feared not being believed. I also feared that if my case didn’t lead anywhere, he would still find out and hurt me even more. Thirdly, I knew how hurt my family and friends would be after finding out and I didn’t want to put them through that”.
She also opened about the emotional aftermath due to the incident and revealed that she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as she wrote:
"I was diagnosed with PTSD a year and a half ago. I have made a lot of progress since the event occurred, but I won't pretend it isn't something that I struggle with. I still have flashbacks, I still get nightmares, I still jump when somebody touches me unexpectedly, even if it's my best friend tapping me on the shoulder."
Later, she also shared an infographic outlining rape statistics.
