Speak Up: Celebs Who Overcame Sexual Abuse As Children
Fiona Apple
Fiona Apple went through a traumatic experience as a child and it caused her to develop an eating disorder. At just 12 years old, the future singer/songwriter returned from school one day and was followed into her mother’s Manhattan apartment building by a strange man. After getting off of the elevator, the man came from out of the stairwell and raped the “Fast As You Can” singer in the corridor. Since then, Apple developed an eating disorder to purposely slim her body down so she wouldn’t attract attention from men.
