Alyssa Milano Opens Up About Traumatic s**ual Assault Experience at 19

In a heartfelt disclosure, Alyssa Milano revealed that she was a victim of assault during a concert when she was in her teenage years.

The 45-year-old actress, known for her involvement in the #MeToo movement and her public opposition to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, shared her story in a Twitter video.

Introducing herself as Alyssa, she recounted an incident from her past, recalling attending a concert by a famous pop star who urged the audience to move closer, leading to chaos.

Amid the commotion, Milano found herself caught in a crowd crush, struggling to breathe and fearing for her life.

Reflecting on the distressing moment, she disclosed being violated as someone reached under her skirt and physically assaulted her.

Feeling helpless, she sought aid from security but found no assistance available to her in the tumultuous environment.

Managing to escape the harrowing situation by climbing onto the stage, Milano expressed her inability to identify her assailant amidst the chaotic crowd.

With no one to confide in or report the incident to, she carried the burden of silence, mirroring Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s decision to withhold her trauma for years.

In a tweet, Milano mentioned that the personal video was recorded in Senator Susan Collins’ office during an attempt to engage with her, revealing the senator’s absence.

Her trip to Washington D.C. aimed to support Dr. Ford during her testimony against Kavanaugh, drawing parallels between their shared experiences of secrecy and pain.

Having played a pivotal role in amplifying the #MeToo movement initiated by Tarana Burke, Milano has been vocal about calling out disgraced figure Harvey Weinstein.

In an essay for Rolling Stone, she highlighted the plight of women who faced repercussions after accusing Weinstein, emphasizing the challenges older actresses encountered due to the industry’s age bias.

The article also references the arrests of Amy Schumer and Emily Ratajkowski during protests against Kavanaugh, shedding light on Milano’s struggle to attend the hearing amidst distractions and criticisms.

Additionally, it mentions ‘Saturday Night Live’ enlisting Matt Damon to portray a fiery Brett Kavanaugh, underscoring the ongoing significance of the contentious issue.
