Actress Tiffany Haddish is opening up about some rough times that she experienced as a teenager. In a recent interview with Glamour magazine she revealed that she was raped by a police cadet when she was 17-years-old.
Haddish says that she reported the incident but is unsure if it was enough. She said “That whole experience put me in such a messed-up place for a long time, and I ended up going to counseling.”
She says that as a result of the attack she stays defensive in order to protect herself.
“I notice that men are afraid of women that are aggressive. So to protect myself I become semi-aggressive,” she explained. “You hear about, ‘Tiffany always hitting on somebody,’ but that’s to keep them from hitting on me.”
