Amber Tamblyn Counters Donald Trump’s ‘Locker Room Talk’ With Painful Sexual Assault Story

Actress describes assault on “part of my body, which the current presidential nominee of the United States, Donald Trump, recently described as something he’d like to grab”

Amber Tamblyn wants Donald Trump to know that his talk about trying to “grab [a woman] by the p—y” is more than just talk — it’s dangerous.

The actress opened up about being sexually assaulted years ago by an ex-boyfriend. Tamblyn says she was out with some friends shortly after breaking it off with the man when he happened to show up at the club they were at that night.

“He’s a big guy, taller than me,” Tamblyn wrote on Instagram. “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. His fingers were practically inside of me, his other hand wrapped tightly around my hair. I screamed and kicked and cried.”

Luckily, Tamblyn’s friends and her ex’s brothers intervened and were able to pull him off of her, but the damage had already been done.

“That part of my body, which the current presidential nominee of the United States, Donald Trump, recently described as something he’d like to grab a woman by, was bruised from my ex-boyfriend’s violence for at least the next week,” she continued.

Tamblyn had previously defended Trump when statues depicting the GOP nominee nude began popping up in different cities across the U.S. earlier this year. She said the statues were tantamount to body shaming.

“Body shaming is never okay, even when it comes to Trump. These statues aren’t art,” Tamblyn wrote. “They are a lazy, unoriginal concept, stolen mind you, from Illma Gore’s painting which already made this exact same point earlier this year.”

Tamblyn concluded, “This is wholly unoriginal and uncreative.”
