A former student is accusing famed astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson of raping her when they both attended the University of Texas in Austin.
Tchiya Amet, a self-described “musician, healer, and teacher” was studying Galactic Astronomy in the graduate program when she met Tyson. She said she hoped to become the first black female astronaut.
In a blog post in 2014, Amet claimed Tyson drugged and raped her in his apartment.
The scandal surrounding disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has renewed interest in Amet’s 3 year old blog post.
Amet said she was a regular visitor to Tyson’s apartment, but one visit altered her life. She recalls blacking out after Tyson offered her a drink.
He offered me a glass of water. I accepted a liquid in a cup made out of a coconut shell. I recall coming back to consciousness briefly, then next thing I remember is seeing him in the hallway the next day. I have lived in this nightmare for 30 years, and it stops today.
I know this will be difficult for many of you to believe, understand or to know. However, know that this is the truth. Those who know me well can attest to the fact that I lived with undiagnosed PTSD of [at] least 25 years.
She said the sexual assault is the reason she didn’t complete her studies at the university.
She also accused Tyson of offering students passing grades if they gave him oral sex.
“He talks about obstacles to reaching his goal of astrophysicist. Did anyone slip him a mickey? Perhaps this was his way of eliminating the competition… what a scam YOU are Mr. Tyson,” she wrote.
Hontas Farmer, of Science 2.0, called out the double standard, saying Amet’s original post was met with “deafening silence.”
“This sounds just like what Bill Cosby was accused of and his accusers are more or less uniformly believed in the popular press and by the general public,” says Farmer.
She added that Tyson’s tactics were “something young men did way too often. My mother still reminds me to watch my drink when I go out with anyone.”
If you can wait 30 years to kee your mouth shut then you need to keep on keeping your mouth shut !!!!!
October is turning out to be a ”hang a noose month for men ”’
Oh wow..
Dammit! And I almost ‘big up’d’ this guy in a post last week, smh!
If this is true, send his azz to the moon! *shakes fist*
SMH
Another one came about George Bush also
I thought he was gay.
*nose laugh*
See! Once you open that door anybody can come through it smh this will be the new normal from here on out.
Right, like why now?
You believe it just off her word?Not saying she is lying but it’s just crazy how anybody can say anything about a person now days and folks run with it smh I’m fearful for the young black men coming up.
I saw that last night in the checkout line! (Not gonna lie, my first reaction was ‘lawd, if they don’t leave this old azz man alone’ Lol!)
But, on the other hand, had she spoken out years ago, he could have made her ‘disappear’
#RealThug
well damn…
George bush SR made a joke towards a lady and it was sexual harassment cause she didn’t get the joke but this ok cause she thought it was funny? Sh*t is getting crazy smh
Thir-Ty Yeeers…I just don’t know what group of women these women come from…all I can attribute it to is slavery. If he is wrong, and I CAN believe it, why? What is the message? The point? …what is undiagnosed PTSD?
“Once you open that door anybody can come through it…”
Definitely something to think about.
Well I wouldn’t put anything past anyone, this is very disappointing if true. I like Neil DeGrasse Tyson!
I just want a little piece of land away from civilization with no insects and only animals that i can eat. You folks
can have at it. The world has gone mad.
Don’t want it. I wish I could find my off the grid piece of real estate for peace of mind too and freedom from vampires and zombies.
Don’t accept drinks in strange men apartments.
Lmao. With all that’s going on we are liable to have real vampires and zombies.
Tis why I said “IF this is true”
I’ll allow that the story sounds a bit ‘spacey’ (pun intended, lol), but I’ll also admit that I’m more likely to sympathize with (alleged) victims more often than not (same as you appear to give the benefit of the doubt to the accused). Neither of us knows the real truth, and that’s the only fact we have, Lol!
Pure mayhem i tell you, smh.
we are liable to have real vampires and zombies.
______________
We do. They walk among us. You see these youths that are on that lean and bath salts and that new weed? Zombies. The heroin addicts? Zombies.
In the famous words of Andre 3000
“Aliens can blend, right on in, witcho kin, look again, I swear I spot one every now and then. It’s happening again. Wish I could tell yall when…..”
True statement lol I do try to give the accuser the benefit of the doubt, but it seems like it’s starting to get crazy with these accusers. That’s not to say there lying. My dad played football in the early 70’s and I remember him telling me stories of how they tried to stay away from white girls cause if they got caught the girls would always scream rape. That’s not to say rape is not a very real thing in our society but part of me feels like it has to be some accountability involved. In my humble opinion
You talmbout that one younger cousin whose own mama don’t wanna let him In her house if she’s home alone? Lol!
Just another terrible experiences that some women go through but remain silent about. The revelation timing whether it happened 30, 40, or 50 years ago is irrelevant. Some take it to their graves. It doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. And yes, many women will lie or confabulate, but this woman’s claims date before Cosby and Weinstein, so she is not jumping not the #metoo train.
That pun. LOL
Jupiter is in Scorpio … You will see sick… Grotesque heinous crimes with this energy… . Dark stuff …rape.. Pedophiles …sick twisted plots will be revealed … Don’t get distracted too much … No matter what these things can not be hidden anymore … Also obsessions will increase … Set healthy boundaries folks… There will be some that will have there closet door forced open… This is only to enlighten not scare just saying… Keep your vibration high… If you raping folks on the low. Or have .. Get ready to be caught …. You’re finished !
I guess…..but not in MY family. I don’t have any cousins. LOL But yeah. That TYPE. LOL
Ha, i like that. It definitely rings true though. I’ve noticed when im looking at mug shots, people just have a blank look.
? Im scared Jenay!
I agree on all points. Rape is a very real thing, AND your dad made a very wise decision. We All need to be mo’ careful.
George HW was patting women on their butts.
I’m not a Bush fan but old man Bush is confined to a wheelchair with Parkinson and dementia took group photo with wife and a bunch of people including a young lady who later claimed sexual assault after he placed his shaking arm around her. One later apologized. She is now part of the #metoo. I would recommend she never visit a nursing home with old folks and their shaking arms lest they might make contact with her.
I perused her Facebook and website. Interesting woman.
MY INTERPRETATION: She did say in one post that she came forward (in part) because she didn’t want deGrasse Tyson to run for office.
WHAT I GLEANED: Also she believes that continued silence for all who suffer harassment continues to perpetuate the notion of “yeah, i might’ve drugged that person and had sex, but I didn’t get caught and thus, it’s okay because I’m not the only one whose done it.”
MY CONCLUSION: Patriarchy reigns supreme. Also, the good ol’ boys will continue to be good ol’ boys. If she wants to call out deGrasse Tyson, then by all means do it. Also, she has a program or something called “Blue Lotus” something or other “healing” where she does help victims of sexual assault, abuse, violence, etc. Also, there was mention of wound-healing. She’s legit in her practice of Rasta/Healing/Crystals/Moonbeams/Kemet/Native American/Hotep.
Power on, sista.
True story bro…. my bff used to attend a church where the woman pastor told bff that one time the lady’s son came to her house asking for a home cooked meal while she was upstairs taking a bath. The lady told her son she’d be down to cook him something, but he had to clap his hands the whole while he was waiting, so she’d know he wasn’t robbing her. It’s not funny, but it tickled me, smh
And O’Reilly just got blasted for writing a 32 million dollar hush money check back in January. I wouldn’t write checks like that no matter what dirt a bish had on me damn they must have pics of him women’s clothing or something jeez.
I actually believe her for some reason. This could all be a devious vindictive lie against the man, but I doubt it. I’m not sure what exactly she’s hoping to accomplish coming out with this 30 years later though.
Hopefully she’s been able to heal and recover, mentally and spiritually.
He said he’s mad at God about it.
Wait ……She saying this ‘assault’ occurred recently????? If she don’t sit her attention seeking azz down somewhere!!!
Talking about obsession, JFK records are coming out sometime today. Corey Feldman is running for cover because he wants to expose Hollywood pedos. Secrets coming out like the great flood. How long is Jupiter in Scorpio.
Yeah, that one sounded iffy to me too.
This was in a public place, with a bunch cameras all around, and his wife and secret service right there beside him. Whatever went down, it’s hard for me to imagine that this almost 90-year old man “sexually assaulted” her.
Is that Rae Dawn Chong?
I believe this happened in 2014. But she wants her 15 minutes.
The audacity of him saying he’s mad at GOD about something “he” (OReilly) did! He said he’s mad God gave him free will? What? Dude. DUDE! Lol
Delusional yt man’s privileged entitlement syndrome, smh ….it’s a real thing and a serious problem. Tis why we have a cartoon character pretending to be a legit president, smh
I see it more as lessons to be learned for the younger generation and a new attitude and awareness towards their safety for both people. Don’t take drinks, don’t give drinks, don’t be alone in a man’s apartment, and don’t bring a woman / man into your apartment unless you made your intentions absolutely clear. The days of subtleties are over.
I.
AM.
WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!
That doesn’t sound like ZOMBIE material…..that’s more on the CRACKHEAD side of the spectrum. LOL
He grabbed her ass as he said it. And I’m with her, I didn’t get the joke either.
I read that there was gay porn involved.
If so I wouldn’t be surprised but we really don’t want Bill on our team.
Yes,I was taught to watch my drinks as well & if I ever took my eyes off of it NOT to drink it… the advise still applies today
Jupiter will be in Scorpio until November 9, 2018.
I wish Corey would spill the beans but he seems to want to monetize the situation.
Also the days of ignorance or being naive is over. Everything is in the light now. Young people wont be able to say “oh well i didn’t know” later on.
Do you have 32 million to write? I doubt it
David Cop-a-field (Copperfield) the magician.
Could have happened. It’s not so far-fetched. Someone I know was actually DATING a guy who slipped something in her drink and when she came to he said ‘I’m sorry’ while zipping up his pants. She asked him why would you do something like this when you know I’m not on birth control?Nine months later she gave birth to a baby boy…
I just wonder how much of what’s being released will still be redacted. I think some dedicated conspiracy theorists will be salivating at first, but may be ultimately let down.
(Corey is definitely snatching covers, and I hope he’s watching his back.)
Chile, I “got” the joke, but it wasn’t funny. SMH.
I would have taken the check and STILL exposed him.
Caveman syndrome
oh no to have someone admit they raped you and having to bear that on your body for 9 months…
Why I just read this in my Forrest Gump voice. LOL
There is so much going on in the world we live in.
My mother says: “things been going on, you were just to young to notice, that’s part of keeping a child in a child’s place. Children worry too much. Once you became a woman and had a child of your own, and social media took off, it’s now more in your face”.
I said mom but we never had a president like Trump…she said “yes we did, he wasn’t as vocal as Trump. Ronald Regan drop crack in our communities, Atlanta murders (our black kids coming up missing) Wayne Williams was the blame, but everyone knew it was the KKK, Gov’t assistance was introduced, and the man/father/husband was taken out of the home if they wanted their children to eat with Food Stamps assistance, that’s the start of broken homes.
It was hard for a black man to find blue collar work in that time”.
Then she said you think Trump is HELL, HOOVER managed to kill everyone that was against him and his organized crime and he WASN’T the president.
I just looked at my son and held him tighter because I’m so afraid for him.
For the past 5 months or so I have asked God to watch over ALL MY MEN, and when I say ALL, I mean ALL. Every man, the man I know, the man I don’t know, the man that don’t love me, the man that love me, watch over them and protect them in your armor head to toe.
So is he in the child’s life?
They were both officers in the army at the time. The army tried to get her to press rape charges but she wouldn’t do it. The guy never even took an interest in the baby either…
Oh well the door has been opened to any and everyone making unfounded accusations without a shred of proof.
Yeah you’re right, I think once you graduate to bath salts ‘we’ not letting your flesh eating azz In the house!
Now THIS is where somebody would have to die!
She didn’t know about the morning after pill.
God bless her keeping the child but speaking as a child of supposed date rape being the child of a parent who resents you is hell and leaves life long scars.
Stupid, lol
He admitted to it and apologized.
Tee hee?
Yeah, someone I know went out to a club several years ago, and she was drugged. All she said was she couldn’t remember what had happened and she “thinks” she was _ _ _ _ _ . And I was like well, what did you expect? You took a drink from a stranger, or didn’t watch what he was doing. These women, don’t know the men and trust them with all their heart and soul and see what happens?
Good for her hopefully finding her peace, but the problem is that you would never know with some of the guys out here. Mfers will really live a double life. Doing charity working by day, and date raping by night.
One a side note, it seems like the crazies only come here when a Clinton post is made. Either google alerts is fire or these hoes better be getting paid. Aye, get money.
Good for her, what about the man she just threw under the bus for something that can’t be proven.
I always thought the army tried keep women from pressing charges. He woulda been locked up and fucked up.
I don’t know what to believe when it comes to these situation anymore but I do know its not that hard for men to bounce back from rape accusations, especially if proven false.
And that will be his undoing. Dude is broke but needs to talk before they permanently muzzle him.
Really its very hard, your accused rapist John doe for the rest of your life.
He admitted to it and apologized, said because he’s in a wheelchair, his arms are usually lower so he usually makes a nasty joke about it while kinda grabbing on their ass, lol
November 2018….that’s a long time to try to stay safe, have sanity, and act/appear normal
Not victim blaming/shaming at all, I just don’t get the point in waiting three decades to speak out. Unfortunately, it makes it harder to believe with so much time that’s passed…
I guess Mae Jemison …the FIRST black female astronaut passed on this freak’s class? That is so disturbing. This brotha contributed so much to science and space ONLY to become the hypersexual brutish black man stereotype. Shame on him if he story is true!
DAMN
if youre talking about those who have been sent to jail on accusations, then yes that record follow them forever and it is unfortunate.
I think one of the major reasons many victims don’t come out is because they don’t want to be blamed for the assault. Victims are knows to be questioned about what they wore, their sexual past/present, and what they did to bring it on, especially if the accused is in a position of power.
Even if you haven’t the accusation follows you forever. In every story about Kobe Bryant somewhere in it will be the accusations.
Counting down to Degrasse’s rebuttal to the claim. I’m sure his wife will also do so. I never liked him. He seems very arrogant to me.
See I don’t know because I forgot about that Kobe incident. As the years go on, the details continue to get foggier. And last time I checked, Kobe is still on the move and thriving
I can not wait to see the reaction when A women loses the name she worked so hard for over these types of unfounded claims. Its coming.
Well Kobe has the money to do so. But you may have forgot about the incident, the writer writing about his hall of fame induction won’t forget.
The emoji I need to reflect what I feel after reading this headline has not been created yet.
this is dangerous… there is a statute of limitations on some crimes. this is one of them.
Someone can falsely accuse you… and you are harmed!
I don’t know if this is true or not… it looks damaging. A black man will be judged harshly!
no fear S… I just tell people to be honest … ???
Thats what i was thinking. He pbly went to put his arm around her and grazed her ass in passing.
He didnt admit and apologize for anything…Someone from his camp said if it happened, hes sorry. That old goat dont even know what day it is.
There for a year …
Nope. He only knew that she gave birth to a baby boy because she happened to walk into a coffee shop when he was there and she had the baby bundled in a blue blanket. He left once she walked in…
Jeeenayyyy … ROFL…. ???
She has never resented the child nor pressed charges against the father. They were both officers in the army and the brass bugged her to press charges but she wouldn’t do it. She never had anymore children and loves this kid to death. At that time there was no morning after pill…
Maybe they did try to keep her quiet…All I know is he got away scott free and she had the sole burden of raising a child…
They are fawked the perputraters that is… I do mean screwed…. They want be able to control this even if they tried…. This is automatic … Wool peeling straight from God… No one is exempt … No one…. Folks about to see just how dark people really are… When you see it… They will of course try to spin it… But evidence will be some compelling across the board …. Best of luck… ???
Wow. That must have been in the 1960s
I am glad everything worked out for her and her son.
Did she ever tell him that he was a the product of date rape?
True but we have to do what we have to do to survive.
Arrogance. Never wanting to take responsibility for anything.
Just like the Orange Messiah we have in the White House.
What’s up with the old grainy ass picture?
My only question to her is, why wait 30 yrs to say something?!?
That man can pass for the real life Cleveland from the cartoon The Cleveland Show
Me too ?
Exactly.
If he’s going to expose the pedos he needs to stop playing games and do it before he has an ‘accident’.
It wasn’t my joke so don’t shoot the messenger.
She told him what happened little by little but she never used the term ‘rape’.
Reading is fundamental people: She told her story 3 years ago: In a blog post in 2014, Amet claimed Tyson drugged and raped her in his apartment. – And no one believed her.
Sad. That’s a trifling negro right there.
God will get him, if He hasn’t already.
Fukkin low life ass bum ass fukk boi ass fukk! UGH!
i’m just wondering when would a man get the benefit of the doubt in a situation like this? all a woman needs to do is know your name to make an accusation and folk will believe it.
I am sorry however, I cannot get with this story.
1. She said she hoped to become the first black female astronaut. ( And you didn’t think to transfer? )
2. I recall coming back to consciousness briefly, then next thing I remember is seeing him in the hallway the next day. ( When you came back, what exactly happened)
3. I know this will be difficult for many of you to believe, understand or to know. (It is)
4. Those who know me well can attest to the fact that I lived with undiagnosed PTSD of [at] least 25 years. (Why havent you received medical treatment )
5.She said the sexual assault is the reason she didn’t complete her studies at the university. (However, she had the option of atending other universities across america)
That’s what I don’t understand..
Just because it’s a terrible situation doesn’t mean you don’t speak up. Timing is EVERYTHING. Those that have taken it to their grave chose that option. Is it right? I didn’t say it didn’t happen but why wait? Are you about to file charges? what is this teaching future victims? It doesn’t matter what train she is on she didn’t speak up about a serious matter.
Okay, I appreciate your comment.
Unless the woman has mental issues or has been known to make false accusations like this in the past, she gets the benefit of the doubt almost every time. And I’m not sure that’s necessarily a good thing. I’m convinced there’s probably at least a few hundred men serving prison time right now for rape, who didn’t do it.
Yes, brain aneurysm , heart attack or car wreck
I want to follow you, I do not know how..please inform
You know it seems common sense, but you know what they say……
Can my son and I come….I can cook lol
Imagining going off the grid for 3 years and to come back just to find out over 1/2 of the population is dead or living like “The Man In The High Castle” (Amazon series). FYI we look like we are headed in that direction.
https://www.amazon.com/Man-High-Castle-Season/dp/B00RSGFRY8
From her blog in 2014 (they were supposedly good friends and she says his wife was there, on the phone, when he gave her the cup):
CURIOSITY?????
Don’t you mean COWARD? A Self Hating Coward?
The ONLY way you could EVER be with a Black Goddess, a true Celestial Being, not just one that talks about them, would be by DRUGGING HER, THEN DRAGGING HER TO YOUR BEDROOM, WHILE FULLY UNCONSCIOUS, TAKING OFF HER CLOTHES, AND THEN, WHO KNOWS WHAT WITH HER, OR FOR HOW LONG, WHEN
SHE AWAKENS, UNABLE TO MOVE, YOU CONTINUE YOUR DEMONIC ACTS. Is this what you mean by curiosity?
I only recall being at the astronomy department the next day. I do
not know how long I was in his apartment. I have no idea how I got back
to my apartment. I do not even remember waking up the next day. All I
remember is seeing him in the hallway at the astronomy department at UT Austin, and I asked him, “Why did this happen?” He responded, “We are in this alone, and we are in this together”.
Please stop….I’m in my office laughing, someone knocked on my door …Are you okay”
see the I know something happened but I can’t remember to be sure but I’m put it out here anyway is what I have issue with.
I agree, but I think that so much is coming fourth, everyone just assumes…I don’t know I’m guessing…..this is really too much for me, I’m still trying to understand Kenneka’s death and how Trump can be so so arrogant about being so stupid
You will See Me on here … I’m not on social media … ? keep your prayers in the air…. They are being heard…. ?
SO SERIOUS! Think about it. I’m not joking. You’ll notice in due time. Watch.
I really wish women would report these crimes as they happen. Anytime I’ve been a victim, I ran to the police for help as soon as I could after it happened, not several years later. I realize that women are scared and most feel as though they won’t be believed or don’t want their personal lives put on trial in court, but women need to be more courageous and report these assholes when they commit these sick crimes. We need to encourage women and children to be brave by speaking out when they are violated. Sexual assault is NOT okay nor is it ever acceptable.
The theme song of EVERY prisoner around the world is that they didn’t do it. While “some” people are in prison and did not commit the crime, I’m convinced that “most” people in prison are exactly where they belong. Criminals lie about everything. I could never trust someone like that; I’ve lived long enough to learn that the hard way. It is not that difficult to obey the law, it makes me sick that people think the rules don’t apply to them and then they want to complain and hate cops because they can’t follow the law. Ridiculous.
Kenneka is what it is. She needed people…and her people failed her. She had on a bra top to begin with and her breast popped out–understandable given the circumstances. her jeans and panties were on and to her waist; not pulled down as people are saying, but low-cut. she had a shoe off which was in the corner. i mean the girl didn’t just lie down and go to sleep. no doubt she may have tried to bang on the doors with hand and foot. she literally froze to death; that’s painful. the lowest temp was 8 degrees. 2 hours later after they open the doors the shyt was still at 30 something. people expect her to look good for some reason. i just hope her full understanding was impaired and her body was behaving but her brain wasn’t aware. that is the most i can hope for.
*hard sigh*…I don’t know.
I just don’t get the rationale of telling the world about this sooo long after it happened. I could even see 2-5 years, but this is just….it makes no sense. The only thing that makes sense is that the truth will always make its way to the surface, maybe this is what this is. It’s just the way it’s being done just makes for an especially messy and confusing situation.
she said she woke up [in the apartment] and he was still doing whatever he was doing while she could not move, and all of this had to happen in his wife’s presence mind you, then turns right around and says she doesn’t remember shyt but seeing him at school the next day.
now if more women come out saying he wanted head jobs for As then that would add more credibility.
As a woman who has been violated before this sinks my heart. People ask why did she wait so long to talk about it and the truth is, when something like this happens to you, the first emotion you have is guilt. You start thinking what did I do wrong? What could I have done to prevent this? Plus, if you notice, when women do come out sometimes they get talked about and blamed. You’ve already been hurt physically and now, when you tell someone you have to go through being shamed. It’s a catch 22. It happened to me as a child and I never told anyone until I got married. It’s a lot to deal with internally. If you have never been violated in that way be thankful because it’s a tough thing to deal with.
Well keep the post coming
Yours is one of the most thoughtful comment on this subject. You are so right. If a person has never been violated, they have no idea what it’s like to expose their pain. There’s nothing worse than being discredited.
You were able to go to the police right away; not everyone woman experiences the same courage. I don’t think it’s as easy as being “brave.” There are countless reasons many people don’t report sexual abuse. I’m not going to judge those who choose not to come forward right away because we never what their particular circumstance.
I’ll check it out. But yes, we are too polarized to agree the blue sky is actually blue, and then duke it out about the shade of blue.
True, but my point is that rape is probably the only crime where a man can get convicted and lose his freedom just based on the word of one other person, without needing corroborating evidence. I remember a veteran cop told me that he’s seen cases of women who accused their boyfriend/ex-boyfriend of rape, and but then felt guilty about it and later admitted they had made it up because they wanted to get back at him for one reason or another. So I’m sure there have been many cases where the woman didn’t recant her testimony and the guy got convicted. That’s not the majority of cases, but it happens.
You asked what was the message or the point. What you said is not a rebuke to what you said, specially since I’ve asked myself the same questions, “”why now?”” I answered myself and sharing what I believe. Sometimes speaking about it is cathartic for the person, or liberating. Some people take secrets to the grave after forgiving others, feeling shame, who knows. Neil (assuming he did it) has had time to think about it and come to grips with his actions. It won’t relieve her misery, he won’t be arrested. I still think he’s a brilliant man and like many others, skeletons in the closet.
I can’t not my boyfriend on Nova. Can’t argue with nobody studying Galactic Astronomy.
im sick of women complaining about sexual assaults 10 20 30 years after the fact. idc idc
Spicy!
You must know that I’m not the best when it comes to cooking. Nevertheless, you and your boy ain’t welcome?.
I’ve watched enough zombie/apocalyptic shows to know whats gone happen.
It always starts with someone needing help, you let them stay and they return the favor by killing you.
*sucks teeth & smh*
Besides, i plan to have my land boobie trapped ? ?.
These situations are too hard to prove. I’m’ not prepared to believe an accusation that’s 30 years old. I think she needs to move on
All day… ?
My great grandmother taught me to never take a drink unless u see it poured( I know people are more creative now days). She also taugt me to put a napkin over my cup with the straw poked through in public. Yall be safe w these drinks. I know a couple girls raped like that. Some people put visine in your drinks to put u to sleep.
YUUP!!!
Still don’t. I wonder what else she has that is undiagnosed.
Seriously I don’t know if this woman was raped or not but if her PST is undiagnosed then how can we say whether or not she has it. Also if she has a police report or something it would make it a lot easier.
That is very true, well said. I guess being a victim taught me to be brave and my family taught me to report crimes right after they happen or tell an authority figure who can help. In most cases the police may not be able to help much nor will the system, but I think it’s better than keeping things bottled inside. But I completely understand why some women stay silent because there is no justice half the time, which is very sad. I think for me, being assaulted and abused made me stronger, I fight back and try to get help even if I don’t win. But these shitty lawmakers, police officers, lawyers, and judges are the problem. They need to keep these sickos off the street permanently, but that’s too much like right!
I knew there was more to the story. She had a lot of choices between the rape and the birth.
WOW!
Would you be able to move on, if raped?
You made a very callous & cold statement.
Dismissive & rejecting. This is why rape victims do not come forward.
NO ONE CARES. INCLUDING OTHER WOMEN.

Ya are some of the most ignorant, narrow minded, judgmental & completely UNEDUCATED WOMEN.
Until you do some real research on rape & its FOREVER LINGERING EFFECTS:
SIT DOWN & SHUT THE HELL UP!

You need to back up… You have no idea of that in which you speak. And if you’re on this blog. You should know better. Secrets come out all the time …YEARS LATER!!! Get a clue…Yesterday…
He’s an atheists and he’s married to a white woman. He also believes and subscribes to a lot of bull shit.
I don’t care what happens to him
I wrote his ass off a long time.
His ass is guilty as far as I’m concerned.
Same here. I was sold in the WW….bye Tyson.
This. is getting ridiculous. So now it’s Everybody who was raped, sexually harassed, assaulted going back 50 years, come out and tell our story. Do these women want to ruin and destroy the man’s (woman’s) career and reputation?
If I were the men, I would fight back. I wouldn’t apologize and quit a job, just fight back, because it’s getting ridiculous. I was raped too, but I’m not going to name names (he’s probably dead), and I was touched appropriately by men, I’m not going to yell it to the public. Time for these women who are looking for 5 minutes of fame to just stfu and go on with their lives, which it seems they’ve done.
My thoughts too. I was raped and I’ve been touched inappropriately but I’m not yelling names and talking about it. I brushed it aside and went on about my business. Survived. Karma will get the men anyway, so why bother — esp. after 20-30-50 years!!!!
Yes, I moved on.
What does his atheism have to do with anything? You sound stupid.
I was thinking the same thing
It’ll be other woman who tear her ass down!!
Just bec it happened years ago, does not minimize the incident. Not going to mention my instances, but yes, it does change a person’s life and future outlook forever. Why tell mama, teacher, police, best friend, hubby, or anyone; only to get flack.
You and him are both stupid. Him for believing a monkey is his ancestor. And you for asking me such a dumb ass question.
Yes they are. When I had to testify before the grand jury (I was raped & kidnapped by a police officer). In DC the jury can ask you questions. I’m on the stand and every single woman asked me questions. Like why didn’t I run? And I told her if someone has a gun pointed at you safety off and it’s in your face and your pinned down. Where was I going to run to? One asked why didn’t I yell for help or try to make noise so that someone would hear you and call the police. I wanted to crawl across that table. He was the police and he was speeding and got pulled over. Here I am crying no shirt just a bra. You would think the cop would hv been suspicious but nope he flashed his badge and end of story. I was in court to get my restraining order extended. The judge was a woman and she said Oh I see your a officer here in the district and I can see why you would want your gun back you can go back to work. I asked her to repeat what she said & what does she mean by that and if she was aware of the case and if denied I will file a formal compliant. You seem to be bias because he is a officer of the district. No disrespect your honor but I believe it would be wise to err on the side of caution. Needless to say it was extended. But you would think a woman would show compassion. People look for reasons as to why a rape occured. If the victim was at fault in some way. It is the most hurtful feeling when someone picks apart what the victim should or should not have done.
slave to religion
she could be lying
I thought so too. I had faith in the system that it worked. I had the biggest wakeup call. I was in law school doing my internship when I was raped. It hurt so bad to believe in something for so long. To believe that if I need the help it would be there. Every single encounter was another jab. Even the programs that are there for victims of crime see rape differently. If I didn’t hv knowledge of the law I would hv been screwed. Even the district attorney only saw me as a case number. I removed the victim me aside and used all that anger to get me thru. When he was found guilty on all counts and the judges said bailiff take him away. I went limp and just broke down crying. I kept saying they didn’t believe me, they didn’t believe me. From that day on I vowed to be the person I wish was there for me.
Evolution is “wrong”, but you choose to believe in magical sky beings, virgins births and talking snakes??? You’re clearly retarded. Hold this L.
Wow! I’m glad you survived and I’m glad you seem to be okay now. I still have days where it bothers me how the system just gives these sick losers a slap on the wrist. I’ve been the victim of sexual assault and domestic violence and no one was really there for me but me. Your family will try to be supportive, but they can never understand what you went through. What sickens me is that the laws are not tougher for these pieces of shit. Rapists and woman beaters should be executed if you ask me, or at least get life in prison. Violating someone is NOT okay in any way. What’s even worse is that people support these sickos making excuses for them. I just take things day by day.
Pasts traumas will affect you emotionally, which is probably why I seem to attract losers into my life like I have in the past. I never thought my assaults might play a role in my relationships with others, but I think they have. I’m just thankful I survived every time I was violated by someone because some women didn’t live to tell their stories. But hey, if God is still waking me up every morning, I must have a purpose for still being here. He blessed me with a son, so I have to live for him even if I have days when I don’t want to keep going for me. God is the only reason I have survived this long; had it been up to me, I wouldn’t have, I assure you. Having my son saved my life in more ways than one. Miracles happen every day, I just never thought God would send me one but He did :)!
That is a big part of the problem.
Women being shamed into perpetual and eternal silence, by other women, just so these men’s careers are not damaged. What about these women’s shattered lives and careers?
I am from an older generation, when women had no voice and no chance of being heard, no matter how many years she waited. How long are we going to allow these men to get away with this?
How many women have to suffer acute depression, suicidal ideation, self-esteem issues, paranoia and other psycho-spiritual and social dysfunctions so that these sexual predators can enjoy their lucrative careers, while raping another generation young girls? . . . .When does it end?
When other women condemn them and condone their silence, it simply magnifies just how deeply complicit we have learned to be in our own oppression. I commend these women for speaking out. We still speak out about slavery and its horrors. What is the difference?
???
What is supposed to happen from this point on? Telling your past deeds is supposed to help in what way NOW? is he supposed to apologize for something that happened 50 years ago? I guess I should apologize for stealing the candy out of Woolworth’s 50 years ago….that’s my apology. Anybody did something in the past they should apologize for?
what about those women who get assaulted,violated or raped, and they scream out and call police right away,…are they doing it the wrong way??????
I’m sorry that happened to you. So glad you are here. Thank you for sharing your story
My point exactly!
Thank you for sharing your story & e-hugs.
Women are their own worst nightmares. Sickening.
Not if you lack compassion.
Praise God.
I was molested by an older cousin until I was 10. He went to jail for something else so that is when it stopped. I was ashamed and would not talk about it with anyone until I was about 35. I found that I was finally coming into my own as a woman and was able to speak on it.
I don’t feel like there’s a wrong or right way. It depends on the victim and her feelings and circumstances. But what I am saying is WHENEVER a victim decides to come out with a story about sexual abuse there’s a fear that if she says something that people will blame her or feel like she shouldn’t have let it happen. The proof is in the pudding. Read the comments on this post. I would never discredit a person’s story about abuse. If it comes out to be untrue then shame on them. But it’s not for me to say I don’t believe them.
Yep, and water could be dry, but if she said it happened then at this point in time that’s all we know. If it turns out to be untrue she has to answer to a higher power for that vicious lie but for now it is what it is.
God bless.
Nice. Thank you.
You know what, Nicole? I think your story of abuse is very encouraging, and you might be the very person able to encourage others to report crimes. I think having experienced it yourself you can be a blessing to others. I don’t know if you already do it, but maybe you can volunteer or something, you know? Like you said, we do have a shitty legal system and as long as victims/survivors of abuse are made to feel guilty about what happened to them, many will continue to remain under the radar.
If this is real, she should take proper action. Social Media is not that. In addition, per her own recollection: “He offered me a glass of water. I accepted a liquid in a cup made out of a coconut shell. I recall coming back to consciousness briefly, then next thing I remember is seeing him in the hallway the next day.” does not say he raper her.
I feel any person that assaults another in ANY way should pay for it, but do things the RIGHT WAY if you want credibility. Go to the authorities FIRST, the media frenzy will follow if it is a famous person.
Ladies, do NOT allow anyone to take from you what you have not offered.
“Read the comments on this post.” YES. I’ve noticed that whenever there is a story about a woman being sexually assaulted, the vast majority of people question her validity. I know there are women who accuse men of rape (Lord knows many Black men throughout history have been falsely accused) they are off the top disregarded or questioned. That’s why many women don’t come forward as you expressed in your comment. We won’t even begin to discuss boys/men who have been abused.
I was on Twitter once going back and forth with A.J. Benza about Mary Kaye Letourneau and how she sexually abused her now husband of child abuse, and he said it was NOT abuse because Villi was a boy and I didn’t understand boys and their sexual nature. I’m like ??, you’ve got to be kidding me! He did not believe Villi was a victim of child abuse! We went back and forth and he got angry. He didn’t say what Mary Kaye did was right, but to him, Villi was not a victim. I’m like, “Replace Mary Kaye with a man and Villi with your daughter. Would you not call that sexual abuse?” He said (paraphrasing) that he’d be in jail if it was his daughter! I just shook my head and realized that there is a double standard, and that’s why boys probably never tell their stories of abuse because of that sick mentality.
SMH. I just don’t know….
Of course not, and that is much easier to do when u do not know the rapist, or when the rapist isn’t well known.
Exactly. This is why the story of the coach with HIV who molested 42 boys was only discovered by a parent intercepting texts. None of those boys ever told anyone smh!
It’s a damn shame that boys feel as if they have to hide the abuse they face because society is so narrow-minded and stupid.
Lmao
Corey is being protected more than he even knows…. Long as his truth is spoken and it will be… As far as money…. The funds will be provided as well… Why because a truth needs to be spoken…. And a reward will be given to him…. God sees all…. God knows every struggle this man has endured and how he is trying to save and help many others… He is deserving of a monetary award…. He has been through so much and has kept his faith … And for that God will not fail him…. Of course there are dark forces that will try to stop him…. But God got that on lock too… Corey will be okay … It the perpetrators …. They will be exposed …. (Mandatory) and fugg they feelings… These people have hurt so many innocent children …. Hurt them… And it will be repaid …#Bloop and Payback will be a bytch … And it’s well deserved
I hope you’re right.
Lmaooo that response !! Literally cracking up.
These women are NOT the Harriet Tubman of our generation. That’s like Harriet trying to free slaves after the emancipation proclamation.
I am sorry that happened to you. You did not deserve it. You should be proud that you have persevered through the traumatic after-effects of that horrible experience and did not allow it to destroy your life, well-being or ambition.
I am sorry you were the victim of sexual violence. I don’t think there is a “wrong” response to sexual harassment or violence. I respect how you have chosen to cope with your trauma. Just understand that your way is not THE way and every woman (every person) has the right to respond in the manner of their choosing. Even if it happened 50 years ago. The culture of shame and silence for the victim must end.
Thank you for your kind words. So glad you don’t font like your username. I love that you picked that name from one of my fav movies.

Mask off…. ??? I can’t make this shyt up…. It’s about to go down…. Sick of the lies this world spews … Have your popcorn ready Rod always remember be honest ? …?
I don’t have a choice.
My mom told me when I was small that I wasn’t a good liar.
Of course. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. Even on an anonymous forum your words have power to comfort and uplift. Survivors often feel alone and we benefit from be reminded we are not alone #metoo
You have a wonderful mother… ??
As for the name, I believe I’ve just been misunderstood. There are two sides to every story. I was just an entrepreneurial, tell-like-it-is broad, chilling with my flying monkeys in Oz, avoiding water and sunlight, and then…here come old-ass Diana Ross pretending to be Dorothy and she ruined EVERYTHING.
