Amber Tamblyn Shares Past Sexual Abuse in Wake of Donald Trump's Lewd Tape

Trump's continued dismissal of his remarks as locker room talk and equivocating answer on whether he actually did what he was describing are causing some famous women to recount their own stories.

Earlier today, amid the aftermath of Friday's leaked tape showing a lewd conversation between Donald Trump and Billy Bush, actress Amber Tamblyn spoke out about her past sexual abuse.

"I need to tell you a story. With the love and support of my husband, I've decided I need to share it publicly," she began by writing on Instagram alongside a photo of the businessman turned presidential hopeful.

"A very long time ago I ended a long emotionally and physically abusive relationship with a man I had been with for some time. One night I was at a show with a couple girlfriends in Hollywood, listening to a DJ we all loved. I knew there was a chance my ex could show up, but I felt protected with my girls around me. Without going into all the of the details, I will tell you that my ex did show up, and came up to me in the crowd.

"He's a big guy, taller than me. The minute he saw me, he picked me up with one hand by my hair and with his other hand, he grabbed me under my skirt by my vagina— my p---y?— and lifted me up off the floor, literally, and carried me, like something he owned, like a piece of trash, out of the club."

I'm so sorry someone did that to her, what a horrible thing to do another person. But it really drives home the point about trump and how he views women.

And it's further punctuated by all the horrible comments made on the site in response to Amber's story, no doubt by people who'll vote for trump come hell or high water. I hope no one out there is assuming this election is over, there are still millions of people around the country supporting him.
