In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE , the Oscar winner told the publication that he had repressed the past abuse, but was triggered after being in the HBO film The Tale . “One day, while talking through the script with Laura, old memories surprisingly flashed in my mind,” he wrote. “I caught my breath and just kept looping the memories over and over, like rewinding an old VHS tape… I said, ‘Laura, I think I was abused.’” The rapper’s also recalls his abuse in his new memoir Let Love Have the Last Word , which goes into detail about being molested at the age of 9, 10-years-old by a family member. “I was excited for a road trip I was about to take with my family,” he recalled. “My mother; my godmother, Barbara; her son and my god brother Skeet; and his relative, who I’ll call Brandon.” View this post on Instagram Came home to find this waiting on me. Can't wait to start reading it. I should finished reading it by the weekend. #Common #thinkcommon A post shared by Lisa D (@weaverdickerson) on May 7, 2019 at 2:04pm PDT Common, 47, said that the relative sexually assaulted him at their aunt’s home in Cleveland one night on their trip. “At some point, I felt Brandon’s hand on me,” he wrote. “I pushed him away. I don’t remember saying a whole lot besides, ‘No, no, no.’” He added that no matter how much he begged him to stop, his abuser only continued to assault him. “He kept saying, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay,’ as he pulled down my shorts and molested me,” he said. “After he stopped, he kept asking me to perform it on him. I kept repeating ‘No’ and pushing him away. I felt a deep and sudden shame for what happened.” Common revealed that’s he’s been in therapy to help him deal with the past abuse. “I just pushed the whole thing out of my head,” he admitted. “Maybe it’s a matter of survival — Even now, two years after that flash resurgence of memories, as I’m writing, I’m still working through all of this in myself and with my therapist.” The rapper-actor says that while he hasn’t seen “Brandon” in 25 years, he has forgiven him. “I want to be a person who helps break cycles of violence,” he writes. “This is love in action and I intend to practice it.” It’s rare that Black celebrity men come out as sexual abuse survivors, and we need more to follow in Common’s brave footsteps. We pray he continues to heal and hopefully his story will help others seek professional help as well. Thank you Common for your courage.

Source: Erika Goldring / Getty MadameNoire.com : While visiting Stephen Colbert and The Late Show this week, rapper, actor and overall renaissance man Common shared that Michelle Obama is helping him find love. During his conversation with Colbert, it was brought up that the last time Common was on the show, he visited when Obama was present to promote her book, Becoming. “We both Chicagoans, we got this connection,” he said. “She’s a wonderful person.” A wonderful person who gives sound advice. The 47-year-old said that during his last visit with her on the show, they actually sat on Colbert’s couch and talked love and relationships. She broke down to him the importance of tempering his expectations of the women he gives the time of day. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). “We actually sat right here in this space and was talking relationships. She gives me great love advice, too. I mean, who else would you want love advice from but the great Michelle Obama?” he said. “But it’s really authentic and real and honest. A lot of the things she said to me is just like wisdom. ‘Cause sometimes I’m always looking for the perfect person. I need this perfect but I’m not perfect so what am I doing? But she was like, ‘Look, you’re going to have to compromise sometimes, right?’” When Colbert asked if that meant she was telling Common to lower his standards, he said no. Instead, she believes he needs to make certain values the most important thing when it comes to what he’s looking for in a partner. “She’s just saying, some of the stuff you want in a person, that’s not the real values,” he said. “Just look for the real core values and make sure the things on your list that you can mark those things on your list. Of course, she didn’t compromise with the great President Obama did she?” SEE ALSO: Common To Release New Memoir About Love So with that in mind, what is Common looking for in a woman? He broke it down for those who want to know. “I love people who are caring, loving, just openhearted,” he said. “I like intelligent but fun people. I like people who treat other people well. And I like a woman who challenges me, who challenges me to grow. She helps me to grow and I help her to grow. We support each other and we can go out and do good in the world and have fun.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty via MadameNoire.com : Back in March, when the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta supertrailer was released in anticipation of the premiere of Season 8, one part of the preview that had people talking was a revelation on behalf of Rasheeda Frost. “I ain’t always been perfect,” Rasheeda shared in a scene. “We’ve had infidelities from both sides.” And while people know good and well about all of the cheating Kirk Frost has done, at least publicly due to his actions on the show, Rasheeda stepping outside of their relationship was news to many. During Monday night’s episode of LHHATL , she elaborated on what she meant about “infidelities on both sides” after bringing couples on the show to a cabin getaway to work on their relationships. “Me and Kirk done been through a whole, whole, whole lot of sh-t,” she said. “We at the point in our relationship where you gotta put things behind you in order to move forward.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). The Frosts, who have been married for almost 20 years , played counselors for the group, exposing their own issues to help everyone else know how to move forward. “Nobody is perfect and relationships have issues, but y’all also gotta understand forgiveness, too,” she said. “That’s what I have learned to understand because we’ve had to forgive each other for sh-t. I ain’t always been perfect in my marriage. We’ve had dishonesty from both sides of us in this marriage. We’ve had infidelities from both sides of us in this marriage.” That statement was met with shock from the group. Rapper Lil Scrappy even said, “I can’t hear that coming out of your mouth!” However, Rasheeda said it was true, and that they were able to make it work and still have made it work all these years and issues later because they were able to forgive one another. “My situation was a very long time ago,” she said. “We grew together. You think at some points in time we didn’t think, ‘Oh, this may not work’? We brought y’all so that y’all could see that we’re putting that behind us.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

But honestly, at this point, bringing everybody here is for everybody to discuss things and face it,” she added in her confessional. “We have to come together and face it and talk about it. That’s how you move past it.” And as for Kirk’s advice, he said it helps if you don’t involve the opinions of outside parties when you’re trying to mend things. “Anybody that’s outside of y’all relationship, don’t let them have so much power to separate y’all,” he said. “Because people be miserable.” ALSO TRENDING ON RICKEYSMILEYMORNINGSHOW.COM : RHOA Star Eva Marcille Is Pregnant With Baby No. 3!
