Helen Mirren Reveals She Was Raped
Helen Mirren is revealing that she was date raped twice when she was younger and never reported either crimes.
Helen said: “I was date-raped, yes. A couple of times. Not with excessive violence, but rather being locked in a room and made to have sex against my will. If a woman voluntarily ends up in a man’s bedroom with her clothes off? it’s such a tricky area, isn’t it? Especially if there is no violence. I think she has the right to say no at the last second. But I don’t think she can have that man in court under those circumstances.
“I guess it is one of the many subtle parts of the men/women relationship that has to be negotiated and worked out between them.
“I was polite and didn’t have the courage to say that to men who wouldn’t accept ‘no’ for an answer.”
I’m glad that she is coming out and talking about it. I know so many people that have been put in a situation like this and have done nothing about it. This should something is brought out in the open.
