Christina Milian opened up about her abusive relationship on this weeks episode of her reality TV series Christina Milian Turned Up.
The 34-year-old singer-actress had an emotional talk with her mother Carmen reflecting on her past experiences with her violent ex-boyfriend who she did not name, revealing she was only 17, turning 18 at the time.
“I remember he instilled that fear in you that if you left him, he would hurt us,” her mum remembered, “And because of that, you stayed in it. But, literally to the point where you know you almost lost your life.”
Carmen began to break down in tears as she said: “You had bruises and you were covering them up all the time. That was the hardest thing to go through was watching you.”
In the episode Christina shared her story after talking about the campaign she’s involved in for the new app called Stop Attack that helps people in abusive relationships record the violence that they’re experiencing and sends an alert straight to 911 and certain contacts when activated.
Christina’s mother explained how useful the app would have been during Christina’s situation.
