Vanessa Williams has spoken out about being molested when she was only ten by an 18-year-old girl and how it's had a negative impact on her as a child and in her sexual life since then.
The actress and former Miss America opened up on Oprah Winfrey's Master Class and verbalized about a traumatic summer when the older 'cool girl' performed oral sex on her when she was staying with family's friends in California. According to Vanessa;
'She was one of the cool girls. She made you optate to feel like you were a grown-up.'
Then, one night when they were slumbering, the older girl sneaked into their room and woke Williams with a peculiar request.
She injuctively authorized me to lie down on the floor. She took my bottoms off and she verbalized, 'Be quiet,' Williams verbalizes. 'She went down on me.'
Williams verbalizes she couldn't authentically understand what was transpiring and was conflicted about the encounter.
'I had no conception what it was, but I kenned it felt good. I kenned it felt good, but was withal something that was not supposed to be transpiring.'
Williams never told her parents about what transpired but verbally expresses that the incident sexualized her at an inopportunely early age and that in a way it took away some of her innocence.
She perpetuated:
'It arouses your sexuality at an age where it shouldn't be aroused. Had that not transpired in my life and had I had an opportunity to have a mundane courtship with a boyfriend at 16 or whatever... there wouldn't have been that shame that was always haunting me. It made me more sexually promiscuous and more sexually curious at a younger age than I should have been.'
