The Girls Trip actress has been open about her struggles in life, having been put into the foster care system at 15 when brain damage her mother sustained in a car crash triggered abusive behaviour and mental illness.
And the 38-year-old has now spoken out on being sexually assaulted, saying it left her ‘messed up for a long time’.
Speaking to Glamour magazine, Tiffany said: ‘That whole experience put me in such a messed-up place for a long time, and I ended up going to counselling.’
The actress reported the rape at the time, with nothing come out of it, but doesn’t know what justice would mean to her.
She said: ‘Me just yelling out people’s names with no thought behind it is pointless. I need a plan. I could be a voice, but what’s a voice going to do—just keep talking? Or is there action behind it?’
Tiffany added that this horrific attack contributed to the armour she wears on a day-to-day basis.
She told the magazine: ‘I notice that men are afraid of women that are aggressive. So to protect myself I become semi-aggressive.
‘You hear about, “Tiffany always hitting on somebody,” but that’s to keep them from hitting on me.’
