Selling Sunset star Amanza Smith is opening up about her traumatic past.
In a cover story interview with Mr. Warburton‘s digital magazine on Thursday, the reality star got real about horrible abuse she faced growing up. She claims she was sexually abused as a child by two separate family members, her stepfather and her step-grandfather — and her mother mentally and physically abused her as well. Lasting effects of the abuse, she said, have affected how she presents herself to the public.

Amanza recalled the alleged abuse going back as far as when she was only three years old:
So, so awful. The 46-year-old added she had no “safe place” during her childhood, because if she wasn’t in the care of one of her abusers, she was in the care of another. She said people began calling her “miss benefit of the doubt” or said she let things “roll off” due to her developed “survival skill to not really be aware when things are super bad”:
The TV personality said the impact of her suffering never really hit hard until she had a daughter of her own:
Heartbreaking…
The Netflix star doesn’t have any regrets about her life, though, and hopes to use her platform to help others suffering the same fate:
Such a brave and selfless outlook.
The outlet contacted her parents; her stepfather refused to comment on the allegations. Her step-grandfather passed away when she was 15 years old.
We’re thinking of Amanza and sending her love and light. Our hearts break to hear these stories.
