Julianne Hough’s relationship with Ryan Seacrest helped catapult her fame to another level of stardom. But growing up, her life wasn’t always so picture perfect. She was sent to London at an early age to attend a prestigious arts school where adults took advantage of her. “I was 10 years old looking like I was 28, being a very sensual dancer,” she said about the abuse started when she hit puberty to “Cosmopolitan” magazine. “I was a tormented little kid who had to put on this sexy facade because that was my job and my life. But my heart was the same, and I was this innocent little girl.”
