Stella says she hates it when people attack rape victims of keeping it to themselves until later on in life just to talk about it because they could never understand how it feels.
“I hate it when people come and say this thing happened to you; why are you just talking about it now. Bouqui, it has happened to me, I don’t say this anywhere, I have never said this before, it has happened to me, it wasn’t raped it was molestation, by someone who was supposed to be related to me.”
“I was eight years old, I couldn’t talk about it for years because it traumatized me, nobody knew; I was dealing with it myself. Why couldn’t I talk, I knew what happened to others who had spoken up about it, they were disgraced; if you see the shame, even in school, once the word got out, it was about her being a prostitute even as young as we were, they would call you names, so man as seen you?”
She adds that we do not live in a society where talking to a therapist is encourage so people should not be quick to jump on the necks of rape victims.
