In a shocking revelation, chat show queen and media mogul Oprah Winfrey has said that she had survived a brutal rape at the age of 9. Talking to David Letterman on his show recently, she discussed her traumatic first-hand experience of child abuse. “Everyone is looking for that validation. I know what it feels like to not be wanted... you can use it as a stepping stone to build great empathy for people,” Oprah said.
She added, “Anybody who has been verbally abused or physically abused will spend a great deal of their life rebuilding their esteem. I don’t believe you can go through adversity without believing in a power greater than yourself. Some may call it God. There are 1,000 different names for this power. But I know you cannot make it without that belief”.
