Chat show host Ellen Degeneres opened up about getting sexually assaulted by her step-father during her teenage.
Ellen had appeared as a guest on David Letterman’s show when she explained the horrifying incident. She said that her step-father waiter for her mother to go out of town. He then told her that he had to check her breasts because he had found a lump in Ellen’s mother’s breast.
The 61-year- old said, “It’s a really horrible, horrible story and the only reason I’m actually going to go into detail about it is because I want other girls to not ever let someone do that. We [women] just don’t feel like we’re worthy, or we’re scared to have a voice, and we’re scared to say no ... That’s the only reason I think it’s important to talk about it because there’s so many young girls and it doesn't matter how old you are.”
Ellen, who was 15 or 16 years old when the incident happened, also added that she is still angry about what happened to her.
