Zahia Dehar confided in her fans in a live Instagram on February 18. The 29-year-old actress says she was raped by her companion. His remarks were echoed by Closer. “He always found something to pull me back. As soon as I pulled my head out of the depression, it plunged me back into it. (…) The person I was is lost. I made a cross on my private life. Maybe I didn’t receive visible blows, but my psychological state is very real“.
Zahia Dehar then recounts the multiple rapes. “I was in pain, I was screaming, I was telling him ‘non this hurts me too much, I can’t not’ he was forcing me. (…) He was telling me ‘and you don’t satisfy me, I’m going to go see elsewhere’ and after this blackmail, he raped me“.
Through her testimony, the model hopes to free the voices of victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. “I’m not ashamed, I won’t stop. To all those who will tell me that I am ridiculous, that I destroy my image, I don’t care. I’m so bad that I want to share it with the whole world. I will keep you posted on all the steps“.
