Connie Chung Says She Was Sexually Assaulted By The Same Doctor Who Delivered Her
Connie Chung has come out to share her own experience of being sexually assaulted, in the wake of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony against Brett Kavanaugh.
“I have kept my dirty little secret to myself,” she wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post. “The molester was our trusted family doctor. What made this monster even more reprehensible was that he was the very doctor who delivered me.”
Connie explained that she went to the doctor asking for birth control. She said while she couldn’t “remember the exact date or even year,” she remembers every detail from that day. After the alleged assault, Connie explained she got dressed quickly and went home, saying, “I could not even look at him.”
“At the time, I think I may have told one of my sisters. I certainly did not tell my parents. I did not report him to authorities. It never crossed my mind to protect other women,” Connie wrote. “Please understand, I was actually embarrassed about my sexual naïveté. I was in my 20s and knew nothing about sex. All I wanted to do was bury the incident in my mind and protect my family.”
Addressing Dr. Ford, Connie wrote, “Christine, I, too am terrified as I reveal this publicly. I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. Can you? If you can’t, I understand. I am frightened, I am scared, I can’t even cry.”
“I wish I could forget this truthful event, but I cannot because it is truth. I am writing to you because I know that exact dates, exact years are insignificant. We remember exactly what happened to us and who did it to us. We remember the truth forever,” she continued before adding “Bravo, Christine, for telling the truth.”
