In David Letterman’s upcoming season of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction,
Ellen DeGeneres bravely recounts her experiences of sexual abuse as a teenager by her stepfather.
She says, “her stepfather had done this horrible thing to her,”
emphasizing the importance for other women to stand up against such injustices.
While her mother battled breast cancer, Ellen’s stepfather took advantage of her absence.
He deceived Ellen under the pretense of comparing lumps in her mother’s breast.
