Former WWE Women's Champion Melina Talks About Being Raped And Sexually Assaulted

Former WWE Women's Champion Melina has taken to her official Facebook and Twitter pages to discuss experiences in which she was sexually assaulted and raped. Below is a post that she made on her Facebook page:

"Granted being cornered to get harassed & being grabbed didnt lead me to want to commit suicide like rape did but all were life altering. All made me feel like I had no power, I wasn't safe, I had no value and I wasn't a human being. That I was simply a thing. My worth, my purpose, my existence altered. If I say anything I'm a liar, exaggerating or looking for attention. So many suffer this helplessness in silence. Which I did for years.

I'm not looking to point fingers, I want to educate people on the subject, be here for victims and get those suffering in silence on the path to recovery. Sexual assault doesn't just happen to women. Like Safe Horizon posted on Twitter:

'Sexual assault doesn’t discriminate and neither should we. #MeToo has to include women of color, immigrants, LGBTQ, people living with disabilities, children and teenagers, the elderly, and yes, men and boys.'

Sadly this happens to more people than we realize. It effects us ALL."

Melina also made the following post on her official Twitter page:

Been raped, been grabbed, been cornered and told things that a guy wants to do to me even though I told him to stop. All unwanted. All made me feel helpless, uncomfortable & scared of what's going to happen next. Different levels but ALL WRONG regardless.
