For her Oscar- and Golden-Globe-winning role as an abusive mother in "Precious," comedian Mo'Nique drew on her childhood experience as a victim of s*xual abuse.

In 2008, Mo'Nique revealed that she had been s*xually abused by an older brother when she was just 7 years old. The comedian told Essence magazine that while growing up in Baltimore, her brother molested her four times over four years, once using candy to lure her into a bathroom.

"My brother was a monster to me," she told Essence. "I became my brother" when "Precious" director Lee Daniels would say, "Action."

Despite her apprehension about going public, Mo'Nique told Essence, "It's my obligation to let people know, and to tell women to watch their children."

During her Golden Globe acceptance speech, she dedicated her award to victims of abuse. "I celebrate this award with all the Preciouses, with all the Marys -- I celebrate this award with every person that's ever been touched. It's now time to tell. And it's OK," she said.

Sugar Ray Leonard didn’t want anybody to leave the room without knowing that he was a survivor of childhood s*xual abuse.

It is a message that Leonard is intent on shouting from the proverbial hilltops these days, as the newest and most high-profile, board member of the Let Go . . . Let Peace Come In Foundation, an ambitious and increasingly effective organization that seeks to raise awareness of, and establish treatment models for, victims of childhood s*xual abuse — a problem that both Leonard and foundation founder Peter S. Pelullo refer to as “a pandemic.”

An Olympic gold medal may bring fame and fortune, but immunity from the darkest corners of human nature is not included. It was one of the points Leonard made when he spoke to students last fall at Penn State, where the wreckage of the Jerry Sandusky scandal may have done more to spotlight childhood s*xual abuse than any event in American history.

“Nobody wants to talk about it,” Leonard says. “It’s so ugly, so toxic, that people can’t even envision it happening. But it is happening, and it won’t stop until we speak up, and until we speak out. It’s an obligation. It’s a personal obligation. (Because) if you keep silent it will kill you. It will just take you apart piece by piece until there is nothing left.”

Filmmaker and studio owner Tyler Perry, who has promoted movies about abused teenagers, has gone public with brutal memories of his own childhood beatings and molestation.

In an email to fans that has Perry's admirers buzzing, he recounts various examples of terrible childhood mistreatment - from his father beating him senseless to a neighbor woman molesting him at age 10.

Even his grandmother, the mother of his hated father, became a threat when she objected to his weekly allergy shot, he recalls.

"Ain't nothing wrong with that damn boy - he just got germs on him. Stop wasting all that money," she said, he recalled.

"She came and got me out of the living room leaving my Matchbox cars on the floor. She said she was going to kill these germs on me once and for all. She gave me a bath in ammonia."

Perry fled his abusive home in New Orleans and, after a period of homelessness and struggle, became a writer, director, actor and producer.

Gabrielle Union refuses to consider herself a victim; She's a .

The actress opened up about about being r***d as a teenager during her appearance on “The View” and how not thinking of herself as a victim helped her survive and heal.

The ordeal took place when Union was 19 and had been working at a shoe store when she and a co-worker were held up at gunpoint.

During her “View” interview, co-host Sherri Shepherd asked the actress how she came to the “epiphany” that helped her recover from the attack.

"I got sick of people letting me off the hook," Union said. "Being a victim is so comfortable. People give you attention, people are nurturing ... When something catastrophic happens in your life, everyone rallies around you. You’re getting all the attention and love and support that you always wanted. But it’s not for something positive, and I hated that.”

“I hated the cloak of victimhood," she added. "I realized they were going to allow me to be a victim, and not succeed and not achieve my goals."

As the season of Autumn comes upon us, I think of the tree’s changing, and fear in the air. No, not because of Halloween, but because this was the time of year, I think my s*xual abuse began. Coming home from school like any other child, but being violated by someone I knew and trusted. “Child s*xual abuse is real and affects 1 in 10 children before they reach adulthood.”(CDC)
As a young girl, I loved to talk and sing. I use to say I wanted to be a singing Doctor. But as happy and talkative as I was, many people didn’t know the inner struggles of insecurity, sorrow, fear and dirtiness, I was experiencing. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and it was domestic violence that made me afraid to tell. I watched my mother struggle to defend herself in a domestic violence relationship with a woman, who called me her own daughter. How was I supposed to tell my mother that her girlfriend was molesting me, when she was having her own physical battles?
My mother asked me all of the time, “Is any man trying to touch you? Did any of those boys try to touch you?” My response was, “no”. Parents I want you to talk to your child and explain to them that no matter the age or s*x of the person, their body is sacred and no one has the right to touch them. No matter how helpless they may feel or how much fear the person tries to put on them, It’s ok to get help.
