Madonna, 56, didn’t go to the police when she was raped in New York at the start of her career because she felt humiliated.
The singer opened up about her traumatic ordeal during a candid interview and admitted she didn’t report the sexual assault at the time because she was ashamed.
Asked why she didn’t seek legal help when it happened, she told the Howard Stern Show: “You’ve already been violated.
“It’s just not worth it. It’s too much humiliation.”
And despite the heartbreaking incident, the Living for Love singer said moving back to her native Michigan wasn’t an option because she didn’t want to be around the “basic” locals.
She said: “Have you ever been to Rochester, Michigan? I just didn’t want to go back. I can’t be around basic-thinking people.” – Bang Showbiz
