Teary 90210 star describes rape ordeal

AnnaLynne McCord, best known for her role on the CWs 90210, broke down in tears on stage in front of hundreds during the Somaly Mam Foundations Life is Love Gala while recalling being raped as a child and becoming suicidal.
McCord took the stage at Wednesdays event at Gotham Hall to help raise money for the organization, which was founded by Cambodian human-rights activist Som2000aly Mam and works to end human trafficking and sex slavery. McCord told the crowd, which included Katie Couric, Ron Livingston and Dylan McDermott, We did not raise enough money tonight. Then she launched into her traumatic personal story.
I was raped. I was abused as a child. This is so important to me, she said. I was suicidal. I cut my arms up. I wanted to die. I had a bottle of pills in a hotel, and I was ready to end it all, and something, I dont know what, led me to Somaly Mam. So I can stand here tonight and ask you, Is there five dollars that you dont need? ... Five dollars you can give to this woman who saved my life?
McCord burst into tears, with Mam taking the stage to hug her and hold onto her as the actress begged the crowd to raise their hands to pledge money, rather than inputting numbers into an iPad carried around by a staffer. I dont want to see iPad bull[bleep], she said and began calling out numbers.
I know this is unorthodox. I know this is crazy, but no normal people change the world, so be a bit audacious and spend a little bit more and write it off later ... Even if youre liberal, you know you get those tax breaks, come on, McCord said. Her pitch scored an additional $35,000 for the organization. The event raised more than $700,000.
McCord revealed details of her ordeal during another Somaly Mam event last year, saying: I had a very similar experience to what these girls go through 20 times a night. It happened to me once by somebody that I knew, and it is a very interesting thing to feel that you do not have the voice to say no ... I did not know how to say, I dont want this. Please do not do this to me.

now i have even more of a reason to be a fan of Annalynne McCord. not only a great actress but she is mentally and emotionally very strong. to keep living


Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

She's a truly inspiration, charitable and selfless celebrity. I love Annalynne. She is genuine. The real deal.

I rented "Officer Down" because she was in it. She was very convincing in her scenes of peril. Had no idea she was raped.

I'm thankful she survived! Such an inspiration!

Yes, she chose to live and tell about this horrible event good for her.

I AM DEE BEE 10 years !

Sounds like attention to me. I'm sure she never follows up with reporting it to the authorities.

You obviously don't know but most rape victims do not report it to the police. Just because they don't doesnt mean they're making it up. That's a pretty disgusting thing to say.

McCord is great. Too bad Somaly Mam is a fraud.

She's a fraud, how?

There was an article written that Somaly Mam's life story was made up to make more money for the foundation. That she was telling girls to make up stories to gain sympathy to again, raise money. I honestly don't know what to believe because several actresses, AnnaLynne included, travelled to Cambodia and spent time at the group home where the young kids were brought to be saved. These actresses also posted photos of their trip. It wasn't for attention - they aren't big enough names to really draw it. But because they were there, they spent time with Somaly Mam I don't know what exactly to believe about this. Perhaps some of the expos was true but ultimately, children are trafficked each and every day and that foundation was helping.

"These actresses also posted photos of their trip. It wasn't for attention - they aren't big enough names to really draw it."

Apparently you didn't get it. The attention is not meant for the charity. They do what they do to get attention for themselves by being associated with such "wonderful" causes.




Sometimes ya gotta wonder.

There's "revenge sex". There's "make-up sex".

I'd be very happy to give her some "console-ation action" if needs be
