Tiffany Haddish Reveals She Was Raped At 17

The 38-year-old actress is opening up.

In the new issue of Glamour, cover star Tiffany Haddish, confessed she was raped at 17 by a police cadet.

This sexual assault changed the way she viewed everything .

The Night School star shared :

"That whole experience put me in such a messed-up place for a long time, and I ended up going to counseling."

Haddish went on to reveal that she started to alter her personality to keep men away :

"I notice that men are afraid of women that are aggressive. So to protect myself I become semi-aggressive. You hear about, ‘Tiffany always hitting on somebody,' but that's to keep them from hitting on me."

Tiffany also wants to help other victims and is currently working on something more than just speaking out:

"Me just yelling out people's names with no thought behind it is pointless. I need a plan. I could be a voice, but what's a voice going to do—just keep talking? Or is there action behind it?"
