Alyssa Milano spoke to Senator Susan Collins about her own sexual assault when she was 19 in an emotional video posted to Twitter. In tears, the actress stormed into the office of Sen. Collins, a key swing vote to elect Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court — a vote that can come as early as Saturday. 

“My name is Alyssa,” she began. “When I was 19 years old, I was at a concert of a very famous pop star who told the crowd to get closer to her. This resulted in a stampede. People were smashed against each other. I couldn’t breathe, I thought I was gonna die.”

She choked up as she continued, “From behind me, I felt a hand up my skirt and I was punched repeatedly in the vagina. I couldn’t turn around. I looked to the stage, and I looked to the security guards, and I said, ‘Please help me’ and they couldn’t help me.”

She said she “couldn’t report because I didn’t know who it was to report.”

“And I didn’t tell anybody because I didn’t know who it was to tell on,” she added. “I kept the secret just like Dr. [Christine Blasey] Ford kept her secret for decades.”

I told one of my #MeToo stories in @SenatorCollins office. I was with her constituent. We asked to speak with Senator Collins. She hid.

Here’s my story through a “human microphone”.

I’ll never know if she heard me.
