Queen Latifah has revealed she was a victim of childhood sexual abuse.

According to perezhilton.com, Latifah revealed in an interview that a teenage babysitter preyed upon her as a child, which manifested into difficulties with her adult relationships.

Suits threatens to expose Queen Latifah’s sexuality.

“He violated me,” shares Latifah in the new issue of Essence. “I never told anybody. I just buried it as deeply as I could and kept people at an arms length. I never really let a person get too close to me. I could have been married years ago, but I had a commitment issue.”
