February 05, (THEWILL) – Reality show star, Sandra Essien, has stated that she was almost raped twice.
The recently evicted housemate spoke about her past ordeal during the recent episode of Hero Daniel’s Therapy session.
Essien said when she was 16 years, she worked as a bartender in order to support her family following the demise of her dad.
She said she was molested on several occasions at the bar, adding that men were tapping her backside.
The reality show star revealed that on two occasions while returning home very late from the bar, she was almost raped.
“I am an only child. My dad is late. Ain’t got no siblings. And when my dad died in like 2015, I started working.
“I got my first job when I was 16 years old. I used to bartend at a bar, an open bar, in this place they call 100 Degrees. I think I escaped rape twice ‘cos I used to go back home at night.
“I had to do something for my mum. I had to contribute to my family. My dad’s family took everything from us, except the car.
“Men were tapping my ass. Just doing the weird things that drunks would do,” she stated.
Speaking on her mental health since she left the reality TV show, she said, “I have had mental breakdowns almost every day.
“It is triggered by how disappointed I am. I think I’m gonna be pained for a long time. That I tried Big Brother three times and then my fourth time and I got out in like two weeks. That’s really painful.”
