Gabrielle Union Says She’s Been Asked If Her Clothes Were To Blame For Her Rape Let’s take a moment and applaud Gabrielle Union for being a stand up woman who uses her celebrity to speak to the masses about injustice on multiple levels. The actress took to Twitter this week to blast the victim blaming that has gone on as countless individuals have sought to justify the police killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice Thinking about all the kids who are “big for their age” & all of the evil excuses that will be used to defend their murders #TamirRice — Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) December 30, 2015 In the process she opened up about the victim blaming she has experienced as a rape survivor As a victim/survivor of violence I can tell u tht it can easily happen 2 any1. I was at work when I was raped. Ppl still asked what i had on — Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) December 30, 2015 Extremely brave of her to be open about her experience If u look in the mirror, are u a “perfect victim”??? I bet they could find something in ur life to make u villain to explain away ur pain — Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) December 30, 2015 Also extremely brave that she is taking an open stance on issues like Tamir Rice and police shootings. Not everyone in entertainment is willing to be outspoken on social issues. Hit the flip to see how she schooled some folks on why police were wrong to shoot Tamir Rice WENN
