Hi Angels
This Story hits close to home so i had to
touch on the subject as I always
talk about the Rape issues in this world.
Well Im sure you all heard that
talk about the Rape issues in this world.
Well Im sure you all heard that
Tyler Perry opened up to Oprah about being
sexually abused as a child.
Here is what he had to say.
Here is what he had to say.
An emotional Tyler Perry was on the Oprah Winfrey
show and opened up for the first time on television
about being abused and molested three
times before he even reached the age of 10.
During the hour long segment, he revealed that his
father once beat him so bad that he blanked
out for a few days.
Til this day, I don’t know why he did it. But I remember
him cornering me in a room and hitting me with this
vacuum cleaner cord. He would just not stop. There are
all these welts on [me], the flesh that’s coming from
my bone, and I had to wait for him to go to sleep,”
Tyler says. “When he fell asleep, I ran to my
aunt’s house, and she was mortified
when she saw it.
Tyler Perry also revealed that he was 6 the first time he
was molested by a neighbor. They were building a
birdhouse together when the man put his hands
down his pants.“I’m thinking, ‘What is this?’And I felt
my body betraying me, because I felt an
erection at that age.” Not too long after that, Tyler
was molested by a male nurse that he knew
from church.
“[The man from church] used God and the Bible against me to justify a lot of the things that were going on. It was so horrible, and that was my first sexual experience, with this man performing oral sex on me as a boy.”
When Tyler was 10 years old, he was molested again by
a friend’s mother. The woman put her son in the bathroom
to take a bath and when Tyler was about to leave,
she appeared in front of him wearing lingerie.
She locked the door and when he tried
to leave she said:
“You want to go home? Here’s the key? I come over to get it, and she puts it inside of herself and she tells me to get it. So I—I get the key, but I feel my body betraying me again because I felt an erection. This is so disgusting, you know, what these people did to this little boy.
The woman pulled him on top of her and Tyler had his
first sexual experience at the age of 10. Tyler went
on to tell Oprah that the molestations left him
confused sexually.
How could it not? I knew I liked the little girls in the neighborhood, but this man was doing something to me and my body kept betraying me. It took me all of my 20s to figure out what this was that this man had given me to carry inside of my heterosexuality that did not belong to me. This is why so many men will not talk about this—the shame of having to admit that.
Til this day, Tyler has to deal with the aftermath of
being molested and it has even affected his
relationships. He recalls a time that he was unable to
perform because a woman locked the door before
they became intimate and he had flashbacks of his
friend’s mother. Another time, a woman he was in
love with walked in wearing lingerie and it
triggered the day he was molested again.
“All of these people had given me something to carry,” Tyler says. “I think that everyone who’s been abused, there is a string to the puppet master, and they’re holding you hostage to your behaviors and what you do. At some point, you have to be responsible for them. What I started to do is untie the strings and chase them down to where they came from. And I was able to free myself and understand that even though these things happened to me, it was not me.”
During the show, Tyler admitted that he has forgiven his
father but he doesn’t want him to be a part of his life.
After his father heard him talk about
the abuse, he sent a message to Tyler that said:
“If I had beat your ass one more time, you probably would have been Barack Obama.”
