Friday TV Tips: Charlene Masterson who survived years of abuse by her father — now helping Rape Crisis organisation
Charlene Masterson: brave and eloquent abuse survivor who is now working to help free other survivors of stigma
Charlene Masterson is an inspirational survivor of abuse at the hands of her father. She waived her anonymity earlier this year after her father was sentenced to 17 years in prison. She is now committed to helping other survivors of abuse and working with the DRCC to free survivors of stigma.
The decision of Charlene Masterson to waive her anonymity and speak out about the horrific abuse inflicted by her father cannot have been easy, but her bravery and eloquence will have helped and inspired many many other people in abusive situations.
