The Huffington Post reports that for Thandie Newton, staying quiet About Her sexual Assault Was Akin To Death.
In 2016, the “Westworld” actress revealed in an interview with W Magazine she was sexually abused by a director when she was just a teenager.
iOn Thursday in an interview with the Daily Beast, Thandie Newton spoke of her assault again saying, “The idea of silencing myself was like ― I may as well die,”
“I lost work. I lost friends. I had a publicist who told me that it was ‘bad for my reputation’ to talk about my experience, but I had to keep talking about it. I was traumatized.”
