Reneé Rapp recently shared her harrowing experience of being drugged and assaulted at a Los Angeles hotel in a candid interview. The 24-year-old singer and Mean Girls star revealed that she was left alone at a club by friends, leading to the traumatic incident that she has struggled to come to terms with.
Despite not remembering the events clearly, Rapp expressed her feelings of trauma and confusion surrounding the assault. She mentioned unfollowing the friends she was with that night on social media, realizing their role in the situation.
The assault took place two years ago at The Beverly Hilton, where Rapp woke up in a bathroom stall with blood on her pants after being left alone for hours. This experience inspired her performance of the song 'Snow Angel' on Saturday Night Live, reflecting the emotions and visuals of her ordeal.
Rapp admitted that she had doubts about the company she was keeping at the time, attributing it to a difficult breakup and struggles with her sexuality. She acknowledged that her friends had raised concerns about her behavior, indicating that she was in a toxic environment.
Following the assault, Rapp had a conversation with someone she was seeing, clarifying the events of that night. She emphasized the importance of speaking out about such incidents and seeking support for survivors of sexual assault.
For those who have experienced sexual assault, resources such as the National Sexual Assault Hotline (1-800-656-HOPE) and rainn.org are available for assistance and guidance.
