Model Jessica White is glad she told the world about the sexual abuse she suffered as a child because the admission made her feel "healed".
The catwalk beauty stunned the audience at a gala for her Angel Wings Foundation in New York on Sunday by revealing she had suffered abuse when she was a youngster.
White reveals she didn't plan to make the public announcement at the charity dinner, but is glad her secret is now out.
She tells New York Post gossip colum Page Six, "I wanted the world to know. It just came out, and I realised, standing there, that I was healed."
White has vowed to make it her "mission in life" to help other victims of sexual abuse and is teaming up with actress Gabrielle Union, who was raped as a teenager, to launch an online campaign to help other women who have endured similar experiences.
She tells E! Online, "This is my mission in life, I've actually lived it... I'm teaming up with other women and teenagers and we're gonna do a YouTube campaign, along with Gabrielle (Union) who also was sexually abused. We're all partnering together, and we're fighting to stop this altogether."
