Amber Tamblyn revealed she was sexually abused by an ex

Actress Amber Tamblyn revealed she dealt with sexual abuse in a prior relationship.

She posted the story in response to the video of Donald Trump and Billy Bush making comments that revealed where Trump liked to grab women.

On her Instagram page, Tamblyn posted a deeply personal story that she shared with the support of her husband, David Cook. In the caption, she described the horrific moment an ex-boyfriend grabbed her and violated her.

She said “That part of my body, which the current Presidential Nominee of the United States Donald Trump recently described as something he’d like to grab a woman by, was bruised from my ex-boyfriend’s violence for at least the next week.”

Editor’s Note: The caption in the photo below describes a graphic sexual assault.

I need to tell you a story. With the love and support of my husband, I've decided to share it publicly. A very long time ago I ended a long emotionally and physically abusive relationship with a man I had been with for some time. One night I was at a show with a couple girlfriends in Hollywood, listening to a DJ we all loved. I knew there was a chance my ex could show up, but I felt protected with my girls around me. Without going into all the of the details, I will tell you that my ex did show up, and came up to me in the crowd. He's a big guy, taller than me. The minute he saw me, he picked me up with one hand by my hair and with his other hand, he grabbed me under my skirt by my vagina— my pussy?— and lifted me up off the floor, literally, and carried me, like something he owned, like a piece of trash, out of the club. His fingers were practically inside of me, his other hand wrapped tightly around my hair. I screamed and kicked and cried. He carried me this way, suspended by his hands, all the way across the room, pushing past people until he got to the front door. My friends ran after him, trying to stop him. We got to the front door and I thank God his brothers were also there and intervened. In the scuffle he grabbed at my clothes, trying to hold onto me, screaming at me, and inadvertently ripped off my grandmother’s necklace, which I was wearing. The rest of this night is a blur I do not remember. How I got out to the car. How I got away from him that night. I never returned for my necklace either. That part of my body, which the current Presidential Nominee of the United States Donald Trump recently described as something he’d like to grab a woman by, was bruised from my ex-boyfriend's violence for at least the next week. I had a hard time wearing jeans. I couldn’t sleep without a pillow between my legs to create space. To this day I remember that moment. I remember the shame. I am afraid my mom will read this post. I'm even more afraid that my father could ever know this story. That it would break his heart. I couldn't take that. But you understand, don't you? I needed to tell a story. Enjoy the debates tonight.

Tamblyn wrote on Twitter after her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-star America Ferrera tweeted about her post that her friend was one of her support systems after the attack.

In her own words, Tamblyn wrote she was afraid of her dad reading the story since he did not know it happened. She revealed they spoke since the Instagram post was written.
