Her 2006 account sounds like an Oxygen channel plot. “Thank God for Oprah because her words helped me live.” Union is convinced Oprah’s advice helped her stay calm enough to win the rapist’s trust, which she used to turn the tables on her attacker. She adds, “At some point he put the gun down and calmly asked me to hand him the gun and, at that point, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s me or you, and it ain’t gonna be me today. I’m about to kill you.’ I grabbed the gun, I spun around and did the best I could trying to kill him.” The actress missed her attacker when she shot at him and this led to a fight for the gun, which left her black and blue. The rapist fled and later turned himself in to police after another rape attack.”

This is confusing. Why did he turn himself in? Because he raped somebody else?

Thanks a bunch Gabby for all the crisis work at rape shelters. But, “My goal is to never hear the words ‘me too’ from someone after I say ‘I was raped.’” is unrealistic, that behavior goes back to the cave man.

This all sounds like PR to me. Sorry I’m not more sympathetic. I got my own rape stories to tell so it’s not like I can’t feel for the victim. Men and women can become victims of rape, so watch yourself.

And who would want to talk to the perp who in the course of a robbery raped Ms. Union I don’t get it but with attitudes like that its a wonder that some rapist are getting high fives, video taping, and having by standers stand by and participate in such animalistic behavior.

We already know that in some communities rape, incest, domestic violence and child abuse are considered taboo and not reported. We dont need more “Precious” in our communities we need to continue to stand up for our women,children and men and continue to report these type of incidents.

No one wants to be a victim nor should anyone have to be
