Actress Selma Blair reveals she was raped multiple times

The dramas in Selma Blair’s life are not focused on her battle with multiple sclerosis, which she was diagnosed with in 2018.

Star of movies like Hellboy and Legally Blond, Blair will strip in her autobiography Mean Babywhich will be available this weekend in English, topics such as suicide attempts, rape, and long-standing alcohol dependence.

In fact, Blair admitted in an interview with People what her first drunk was when she was just 7 years old.

“I don’t know if I would have survived childhood without alcoholism. That is a big problem for a lot of people. At the beginning, it gives you comfort, relief. Maybe the early years. I started very young with that, as a consolation mechanism, “he told the media.

In the book, Blair recounts that her alcoholism grew in her teens and 20s, to the extent that, during a vacation trip when she was in college, she was sexually assaulted after a marathon day of drinking.

“I shut up and waited for him to finish. I wish I could say that what happened to me that night was an anomaly, but no. I have been raped multiple times because I was too drunk to say, ‘Please stop.’ Only that time he was violent. After each attack, she ended up embarrassed ”, published People, who advanced some passages.

In the interview, Blair, now 49, admitted that she had never told anyone about the rapes except her therapist.

“Writing about it stopped me in my tracks. My trauma was bigger than knew.No I had realized that aggression was so central to my life. I had a lot of shame, a lot of guilt. I am grateful that I felt safe enough to put it on paper.

“Now I can work on it with a therapist and through other writing and really ease that burden of shame within myself.”

Blair, who hasn’t drunk for six years, dedicates her memoirs first to her son and second to all those in similar situations.

“For those people who try to find the deepest hole and stay there until the pain passes.”
