Although this may be news to many,
Gabby had once before open up about being a rape victim. Hitting on "the
View today Gabby showed off her engagement ring, and revealed more on being raped at gunpoint at the
age of 19 while working at payless, and how she took action
afterward to get her self confident and self power back. Catch it all inside.
Gabby said
she sued her then-employer Payless, for being negligent in
providing a safe environment. Gabby also urged parents to take an active
interest in the type of establishment their teens and young adults are working
at, often late at night as well.
D.Wade fiancee also snap
some powerful words about how she was enought to not being a victim after
the incident, even though everyone wanted to treat her as such:
"I got sick of people letting me
off the hook. Being a victim is so comfortable. People give you attention,
people are nurturing, they're basically what you've wanted your whole life
without something bad happening. So, when something catastrophic happens,
everyone rallies around you. You're getting all the attention, love and support
you've always wanted. But it's not for something positive. I hated that. I
hated feeling like a victim. I hated the cloak of victimhood."
"They were going to allow me to
be a victim and not success and not achieve any of my goals and not step
outside the box. I want to embrace being a survivor. Because that's who I
am. I wasn't raised to be coddled. I was raised to be an independent woman,
standing on my own two feet." She added.
