Queen Latifah opens up in a new tell-all interview regarding her sexual abuse as a child.
Latifah said she was abused by a teenage boy who was put in charge of her. "He violated me, Kim Possible dvd set (http://www.nibdvd.com/Kim-Possible-Complete-Seasons-DVD-Box-set-p-712.html), Taxi Complete collection (http://www.nibdvd.com/Taxi-Complete-Seasons-DVD-Box-Set-p-720.html)," she tells Essence magazine. "I never told anybody; I just buried it as deeply as I could and kept people at an arm's distance. I never really let a person get too close to me. I could have been married years ago, but I had a commitment issue."
Latifah says she didn't tell anyone till the death of her brother when she was 22 years old. "I had to get it off my chest. My mother felt terrible. She was kind of a country girl, so she wasn't up on how slick people could be.

"I was a kid, Dexter 1-4 (http://www.nibdvd.com/Dexter-Complete-seasons-1-4-dvd-BoxSet-p-550.html), and I had no power or control over the situation. I really wish I'd had the strength and the knowledge to say something sooner, because I always wondered, In the Night Garden collection (http://www.nibdvd.com/In-the-Night-Garden-DVD-Boxset-p-705.html), Did he do that to someone else? But I accept that the time for action has come and gone."
