Kimberly Wyatt reveals childhood trauma

Kimberly Wyatt, American singer and dancer has candidly voiced her childhood trauma that remains green. 

In an interview with Davina McCall on the Begin Again podcast, the Buttons star, 44, revealed that she was sexually abused as a toddler.

"There was a lot of darkness in my very young years, through my formative years to my young teen years."

The abuse left her always on the run to avoid social circumstances and unable to find friends until she found dance.

The star marked dance school as a protecting factor, moreover, she was once attempted to be raped on a cruise ship when she was 17.

She recounted, "that really chipped away at my confidence, at my soul, at my feeling of being safe and that really was the making of me as a kid. I was very introverted."

Wyatt remembered having a hard time looking at the mirror even though she was raised in a great family in rural Missouri with brilliant parents. 

Notably, she marked her anchor was her grandmother.

She noted, "Grandma Jane. They're the best. She showed me a love and a selflessness that to this day, that's what has made me the mum that I strive to be everyday when I wake up..."

"The thing that turned everything around for me was getting into the dance studio", she shared. 

The star disclosed the thought that actually helped her, "what these people could do with their bodies and the stories they could tell through movement."
