Gabrielle Union is opening up about how she was raped when she was just 19 years old.
The actress blogged on Global Grind.com:
"When I was 19 years old, I was raped. I was working at a shoe store in California, and the store was robbed. The person robbing the store ended up putting a gun to my head and raping me. As he was raping me, I felt as though I was floating over myself, thinking, 'This isn't happening.' I blanked out and had an out-of-body experience, like I was hovering above seeing this horrible thing happen to someone else...not me. I was fortunate enough to go the UCLA rape crisis center after this horrific ordeal. It gave me my life back. My dignity and self-esteem were gone and they helped me find them again."
She goes on to say that that's why now she lobbies for state legislatures across the country and the federal government to help raise funds and awareness for rape crisis centers. Union says her goal is to never hear the words 'me too' from someone after I say 'I was raped.'
