Actor Dax Shepard revealed that he was molested as a child during a taping of SiriusXM’s “The Jason Ellis Show.”
While talking about his battle with addiction, the 41-year-old actor opened up about being sexually assaulted by someone in his neighborhood.
“I was, I want to say, 7 and this dude was probably 18,” Shepard said, calling the incidents “minimal.”
“It took me 12 years to tell anyone that. And all that time I was like, ‘A) It’s my fault,’ as generic as that is, and ‘I’m gay — I must’ve manifested this because I’m secretly gay.’ I had all these insane thoughts for 11 years, 12 years.”
When the radio host, who shared his own stories of sexual abuse by his father earlier, asked the actor if he knew what was happening at the time, Shepard said, “Oh God yeah.”
