LONDON : IN HER OWN WORD 2019
An introduction to London Andrews Part 8 B
The following is a recreation of a series of posts London did back at the start of 2019, telling her story in her own words.
(Part 8 B of 12) When I turned 26, things started to go downhill. I went to a shoot and I was raped by a photographer (this was not my first time being raped sadly…. but it was the first time at a shoot) - Just like in the past, I kept it to myself. I didn’t tell anyone. How do you explain to a police officer that you were hired by a guy to take your clothes off for money?…. My relationship with my seven year boyfriend suffered because I was suffering. I had trouble going to modeling jobs. I started making excuses. I would drive to a studio and just sit in the car, crying, trying to hype myself go in….. Sometimes I got out of the car, but most of the time, I drove home. My bills were piling up. I was getting a bad repuation in the industry. I was a mess. I cried a lot and I drank too much…. It is like all the sexual abuse that I buried so deep for so many years, finally just cracked me right open and I couldn’t fix it this time. SO I quit modeling completely. I broke up with my boyfriend of seven years. And I moved back to NY state and I got a 9-5 dog grooming job. (at Rochester, New York)
