Padma Lakshmi: I Was Raped at 16 and I Kept Silent
When I was 7 years old, my stepfathers relative touched me between my legs and put my hand on his erect penis. Shortly after I told my mother and stepfather, they sent me to India for a year to live with my grandparents. The lesson was: If you speak up, you will be cast out.
She also revealed a 1986 sexual assault, in which she was raped at the age of 16. She wrote,
It took me decades to talk about this with intimate partners and a therapist. Now, 32 years after my rape, I am stating publicly what happened. I am speaking now because I want us all to fight so that our daughters never know this fear and shame and our sons know that girls bodies do not exist for their pleasure and that abuse has grave consequences.
Later,
she posed nude for the May 2009 issue of Allure.
I tend to sleep in the nude. I'm an innately tactile person and a very sensual-leaning woman. You have to use the word 'leaning' or it sounds like I'm boasting! When I'm in my own private space, I do spend time with very little on.
