Tisha Campbell Recalls Sexual Assault as a Child on TV One’s ‘Uncensored’ [WATCH]

*TV One’s original auto-biographical series “UNCENSORED” returns for its second season with the premiere episode spotlighting singer/actress Tisha Campbell on Sunday, October 6.

As reported by MadameNoire, in the show, Campbell will share some of the challenges she’s had to overcome, including her son’s autism diagnosis and being sexually abused as a child at the hands of her male babysitter.

Tisha: I remember feeling really numb, not physically but numb spiritually.

Tisha’s Mother: When that happens to your child, that never, ever goes away.

Tisha: I remember the next morning still kind of limping and I remember my dad saying, ‘What’s wrong with you? Why are you limping like that?’ And I said [the babyistter’s name] he put his thing inside me. And I knew that ‘He’ll handle it. My dad will handle it.’

Campbell has previously spoken about being sexually abused at the age of three , including last year when Simone Biles and other U.S. gymnasts spoke about being molested by their doctor Larry Nassar.

“…when children, especially in their formative years, have something like that happen to them, it’s devastating,” said Campbell, who shared that her father handled it once he learned of her assault.

“I told, I told right away, right away I told. I had a father who was a big guy and I trusted that he would protect me. So I told my dad immediately, but it still affects you later on in life.”

In the series, the actress also addresses the loss of “Martin” co-star Tommy Ford and how his death helped her reunite with her cast mates — watch the clip below.

“UNCENSORED: Tisha Campbell” airs Sunday, October 6th at 9/8c on TV One.
