'I was killing myself with all the drinking and the pills,' Jessica recounted in an excerpt from her upcoming autobiography.
Jessica, 39, wrote:"It happened when I shared a bed with the daughter of a family friend. It would start with tickling my back and then go into things that were extremely uncomfortable."instagram.com
Jessica then described telling her parents six years after the abuse first began during a car ride on a family vacation. She recalled her mother slapping her father's arm and saying,"I told you something was happening," while he"kept his eyes on the road and said nothing". She added that while they never stayed at the family friend's house again, she and her parents also never spoke about what she'd told them.
Jessica said that as the years passed, the sexual abuse combined with career pressures led her to use"pills and alcohol" to"cope with the emotional pain".
