"Between the ages of twelve and twenty, I was the victim of repeated sexual abuse," Suvari, 42, wrote in her book.
As she explained in her book, per PEOPLE, it began when she was 12 and in the sixth grade. Suvari and her family had moved to Charleston, South Carolina, where she said she was"the new girl" in town and"was just trying to fit in." Then, a friend of one of her older brothers, whom she called"KJ" in her memoir, pursued her and pressured her into having sex, but she told him that she didn't"want to do that." However, just a month before her 13th birthday, Suvari claims KJ took her into a room in his family's home and raped her.
"Part of me died that day," Suvari recalled."He used me, had fun with me and then disposed of me. He called me a whore. I never got to have a healthy expression of [sex]. My choice was lost. And that, compiled with already not feeling seen and heard, established a concept that I would have of myself.
