Amber Tamblyn shares horrific tale of sexual assault

Actress Amber Tamblyn made a heartbreaking confession in response to Donald Trump's crass conversation with Billy Bush from 2005.

In the leaked tape, the two men took part in an extremely vulgar talk about women, which included a line where Donald said: "Grab them by the p**sy, you can do anything."

Celebrities took to social media to express their disgust about the presidential candidate's comments, and Amber was prompted to open up about being sexually abused in the past.

"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 wrote on Instagram.

"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.

She added: "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 screamed and kicked and cried. He carried me this way, suspended by his hands, all the way across the room, pushing past people until he got to the front door. My friends ran after him, trying to stop him. We got to the front door and I thank God his brothers were also there and intervened. In the scuffle he grabbed at my clothes, trying to hold onto me, screaming at me, and inadvertently ripped off my grandmother's necklace, which I was wearing. The rest of this night is a blur I do not remember."

She concluded: "To this day I remember that moment. I remember the shame. I am afraid my mom will read this post. I'm even more afraid that my father could ever know this story. That it would break his heart. I couldn't take that. But you understand, don't you? I needed to tell a story. Enjoy the debates tonight."

Trump has since issued an apology for his comments but no doubt they've left a lasting impression on Americans voting in the election.
