Goodness! In response to allegations that her boyfriend, Alex Reid, starred in a film that "glorified rape," British reality TV star Katie Price has come forward to reveal that she has been sexually assaulted multiple times.

'Rape is a subject very close to my own heart. I was raped when I was younger, more than once.'

Writing in her weekly column for OK! magazine, Katie said she was
'appalled' by headlines saying cagefighter Reid's film glorified rape.

'I'd never be associated with anything or anyone so sick,' she wrote.

'I've never talked about this before, but I feel I have to now
because I was so hurt by these accusations that I would not take a
subject, which affects so many women, seriously.'

She says her boyfriend Reid was equally upset, despite starring in the film.

'Someone who was close to Alex was also raped and he is as horrified as I am by these claims,' she wrote.

Katie previously revealed that she was sexually assaulted with two friends when she was six.

Speaking
to Piers Morgan, she described how a man lured them into bushes as they
played in a park, before offering to buy them an ice cream if they let
him touch them.

She told readers of her advice column: 'I
urge any woman who has been affected by rape and needs help to talk to
somebody they trust about it.'

Whatever you may think about Katie or her motivations for making this disclosure, if it helps someone who is struggling with this, then it's worth it.
