In a since-deleted statement on Instagram that she later re-posted (then deleted) on Twitter, Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale revealed that she had been sexually assaulted last night.
via OK magazine:
“I deleted it from Instagram. But this needs to be heard,” the 28-year-old actress wrote alongside the following statement:
“I never understood sexual assault until tonight. I always sympathized, but never truly felt the pain of it until right now. My dignity and pride was broken. I am completely at a loss for words. I feel for anyone that has felt this pain that I feel right now. But I promise. I will not let a moment go by that I don’t try to make a difference.”
This is so sad and upsetting. Here’s hoping her assailant is quickly caught and brought to justice.
