Los Angeles, Oct 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Tyler Perry was on Oprah Winfrey’s Show on Wednesday.
The director used the opportunity on the show to reveal his sexual molestation experience when he was just ten years.
Among the series of sexual abuses he suffered while growing up, the “Why Did I Get Married?” director quite remember one that involved his best friend’s mother.
He told Oprah the following on the show “I hear arguing from the living room, she comes in… We were in the bedroom. She throws him in the bathroom and says, ‘You need to take a bath and go to bed,’ and she tells me to go home, and I go to the door to try and unlock the door… and I couldn’t unlock it. She lays on the sofa and spreads her legs - I didn’t know she was wearing lingerie at the time - and I said, ‘I have to go home…’ And she lights a cigarette and she takes the key… and I come over to get it and she puts it inside of herself (vagina) and she tells me to get it, so I get the key but I feel my body betraying me…because I felt an erection. She pulled me on top of her and I was inside of her, so my first sexual experience with a woman…that was it.”
His friend’s mother was just one of the people that molested him while growing up in Louisiana, New Orleans. Tyler revealed that a nurse, a male neighbor and a priest molested him when he was growing up.
