Ruby Rose, 29, is everyone’s favorite new star, and even she has struggled with demons. The actress, who plays Stella Carlin on Orange Is The New Black, bravely revealed in a 2013 interview that she was sexually abused as a child, her tragic suicide attempt at age 12 and her ongoing struggle with depression.
“My past involved incestuous sexual abuse – and a turbulent home life which was not always safe,” Ruby reportedly said in a 2013 interview, according to The Daily Telegraph.
She also admitted that she attempted suicide at 12 years old. “I was getting suicidal thoughts when I shouldn’t have even known what suicide was at that age.”
“At times I’ve wanted to stop living,” she said in the interview. “I would isolate myself. I would stop calling friends, stop returning any text messages or calls.”
In 2013, she revealed that she was still battling depression. “I have had depression for more years than I can remember, As a child I was subjected to sexual abuse, as well as many other traumas I need not bore you with and I was
first medicated at around 14 for PTSD after finding a dead body. After that many of you know I was bullied at school, raised with very little money by a single mum and somehow through it all survived, thrived (with some ups and downs, lets be honest) but the kid turned out alright,” she wrote on Facebook.
