Jamie King broke her silence as she openly shared her sexual assault experience. Jamie King stood her ground and talked about sexual abuse, stating that Lady Gaga's Oscar's 2016 performance encouraged her to make a stand.
According to Daily Mail, on one of Jamie King's Instagram post, she narrated her struggles and mentioned how she loved herself and accepted her past. Jamie King then made an announcement stating that she was sexually abused at the age of 12.
"Thank you to myself to not choosing to not make this a cover story though that was what was suggested to me but to express from my heart to you all personally which felt the most honest way for me to speak," Jamie King said.
"Thank you to my Soul, body, mind, emotions, my inner child, my younger self, I love you. It's a night of celebration, of change, of not being ashamed of your race, creed color, situation, circumstances and environment, or past. Now I am free, somewhat. Thank you for the switch that went off inside finally when I realized my silence said I cannot help nor change and that is not who I am. I love you all very much for creating a safe space. The time is now. I was about 14 here, it started at 12. Peace Be Still," she added.
Aside from her Instagram post, Jamie King also went on Twitter to thank Lady Gaga for the "Till It Happens To You" performance on Oscars as it encouraged her to share her story. Lady Gaga's song was made for CNN's documentary "The Hunting Ground." The documentary is focused on the stories of sexual assault victims on college campus around the United Stated. The song was written by Diane Warren and Lady Gaga which earned them an Oscar nomination for best original soundtrack.
Thank you my sister. There are no words for what your Soul done for me. I love you. https://t.co/sXLG6hekk6
