‘I need to tell you a story’ Amber Tamblyn’s latest post stuns Insta
She may be known for her roles in House, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and Two and a Half Men but if the response to her latest Instagram post is anything to go by, Amber Tamblyn will now be known for her courage and bravery as well as her career moves.
In the wake of a leaked recording which highlighted Donald Trump's predatorial attitude towards women, Amber decided to share her own story of assault in a post which has racked up a staggering 28,000. likes in just 17 hours.
Explaining that she had the support of her husband, Amber opened up about an experience which she feels mirrors Mr. Trumps remarks in the aforementioned tapes.
Amber told her followers that while on a night out with her friends, she feared her abusive ex-boyfriend may attempt to find her – a fear which was soon realised when he turned up at the same venue as Amber.
"Without going into all the of the details, I will tell you that my ex did show up, and came up to me in the crowd. He's a big guy, taller than me," she wrote.
Drawing a comparison between Trump's remarks and her boyfriend's actions, Amber continued: "The minute he saw me, he picked me up with one hand by my hair and with his other hand, he grabbed me under my skirt by my vagina— my p***y?— and lifted me up off the floor, literally, and carried me, like something he owned, like a piece of trash, out of the club."
After elaborating on the events which ultimately unfolded, Amber recalled the aftermath of the assault.
"That part of my body, which the current Presidential Nominee of the United States Donald Trump recently described as something he’d like to grab a woman by, was bruised from my ex-boyfriend's violence for at least the next week," she revealed.
Admitting that she found it incredibly difficult to share her experience, Amber finished the lengthy post by asking her followers to understand her motivation for doing so.
"But you understand, don't you? I needed to tell a story. Enjoy the debates tonight." she finished.
Amber has been inundated with supportive comments and feedback since posting her story last night.
