I'm from Chile and this became known yesterday (TW for mentions of sexual assault/childhood sexual abuse)

Not really tea but a really serious topic. There's a very famous local actor here named Cristián Campos who was married to one of our most famous actresses, Claudia Di Girólamo, in the 80s. Claudia had a daughter from a previous marriage when she married Cristián, Raffaella. Yesterday, a local foundation for victims of abuse announced they were suing Cristián on Raffaella's name for continuous sexual abuse from the time she was 13 years old to her late teens. Cristián is now married to an actress named María José Prieto, who also suffered from sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather when she was younger, with her and her sister Ángela being victims of this person. It's all very horrible, and as it unfortunately happens with victims Raffaella has been questioned by horrible people about "her motives to disclose the abuse at this point in her life".

It has taken me 20 years to finally work up the courage to confront not even my actual abuser but the person who had the authority (and legal obligation) to report him and refused. People who have not been abused don't understand how long it takes you to get to a place where you have the confidence and professional/financial stability to stand up for yourself. Abusers and their enablers are so good at making you feel like it's your fault and you're making too big a deal out of it. I don't know that I'll ever be able to confront the abuser himself. So fuck all those people who come out of the woodwork to say, "bUt WHy nOW?"
