Amber Tamblyn Just Shared Her Own Personal Sexual Assault On Instagram
“That part of my body, which the current Presidential Nominee of the United States Donald Trump recently described as something he’d like to grab a woman by, was bruised from my ex-boyfriend’s violence for at least the next week.”
In the wake of Donald Trump's 2005 comments about Nancy O'Dell being brought to light, actress and poet Amber Tamblyn has shared a story of her own about sexual assault.

Amber, who's been married to comedian David Cross since 2012, revealed that she was once sexually assaulted by an ex boyfriend:
Amber posted her story to Instagram with an accompanying photo of Donald Trump kissing Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo on the cheek.
I need to tell you a story. With the love and support of my husband, I've decided to share it publicly.
A very long time ago I ended a long emotionally and physically abusive relationship with a man I had been with for some time. One night I was at a show with a couple girlfriends in Hollywood, listening to a DJ we all loved. I knew there was a chance my ex could show up, but I felt protected with my girls around me. Without going into all the of the details, I will tell you that my ex did show up, and came up to me in the crowd. He's a big guy, taller than me. The minute he saw me, he picked me up with one hand by my hair and with his other hand, he grabbed me under my skirt by my vagina— my pussy?— and lifted me up off the floor, literally, and carried me, like something he owned, like a piece of trash, out of the club. His fingers were practically inside of me, his other hand wrapped tightly around my hair. I screamed and kicked and cried. He carried me this way, suspended by his hands, all the way across the room, pushing past people until he got to the front door. My friends ran after him, trying to stop him. We got to the front door and I thank God his brothers were also there and intervened. In the scuffle he grabbed at my clothes, trying to hold onto me, screaming at me, and inadvertently ripped off my grandmother’s necklace, which I was wearing. The rest of this night is a blur I do not remember. How I got out to the car. How I got away from him that night. I never returned for my necklace either.
That part of my body, which the current Presidential Nominee of the United States Donald Trump recently described as something he’d like to grab a woman by, was bruised from my ex-boyfriend's violence for at least the next week. I had a hard time wearing jeans. I couldn’t sleep without a pillow between my legs to create space.
To this day I remember that moment. I remember the shame. I am afraid my mom will read this post. I'm even more afraid that my father could ever know this story. That it would break his heart. I couldn't take that. But you understand, don't you? I needed to tell a story. Enjoy the debates tonight.

A Man From North East England Is Being Mistaken For The "South Carolina Clown"
James Allen
A photo of a clown that was reported to been taken in a wood in America is actually of a man in the North East of England who has never even travelled to the States.
After a spate of reports of clowns trying to lure children into woods near an apartment block in Greenville, South Carolina, Kevin Thoman, whose Twitter bio locates him in the state, tweeted pictures which he claimed to have taken of the "South Carolina Clown".
Thoman's tweet was then used by several news outlets, including NBC, in reports about the sightings.
James Allen
But it turns out the image is actually of performance artist James Allen, from County Durham in the UK. Allen regularly stages pictures of himself dressed as a clown named "Coco" in abandoned or spooky spaces near his home. He shares the pictures on social media, including on his FR3E Roamers Urbex Facebook page.
"It was just a bit of fun adding colour to a dark place," Allen told BuzzFeed News. "I've been doing clown photos for a while now."
He said that he always chooses derelict places and goes out late at night to take the photos so as not to scare people or create the kind of hysteria the South Carolina reports have sparked.
"I wouldn't do it near the public [and I] always make sure we are out of the way," he said.
Allen said he believed Thoman had taken a screen grab of a video he posted to YouTube on 10 July.
James Allen
It is not the first time an image of clown performers has been attributed to the South Carolina sightings. In August, an image that turned out to have taken by performance group The Plymouth Clowns was distributed by police to residents of the Fleetwood Manor apartments, near where the original sightings took place.
Despite receiving numerous calls about sightings, Greenville County police have found no evidence of clowns in the woods, but since the story emerged, a wave of copycats have been observed.
Police across the UK have issued warnings after several incidents of clowns scaring children, sometimes with knives, were reported. On Tuesday, footage of a person dressed as a clown riding a mobility scooter through Sheffield City centre was posted to Facebook.
Allen said that since his picture has appeared in media reports relating to clown incidents, he has been accused of being a ringleader of the trend, and has received abusive messages and even death threats as a result.
"The pranksters are putting people like me at risk," Allen told us. "My family and friends are worried that I may be attacked over this."
He said that there were a lot of people who would liked to dress up as clowns to take photographs, but had no intention of hurting or trying to scare anybody. "We don't prank people, we don't even go out in public dressed up, it's only for photo shoots."
Supplied
He has tried to set the record straight in a short video, posted to Facebook, and another to YouTube. He has also used a Twitter account for his Coco character to correct people who have mistakenly believed he is the South Carolina clown.
After Allen reported Thoman to Twitter for using his image, the social network removed it from his tweet. BuzzFeed News has reached out to Kevin Thoman for comment.
James Allen
Allen said he thought the mix-up with his picture was funny at first, but now there are clowns upsetting people in the UK, he is worried "it's only a matter of time before the police pull me in over it."
"But I'm a clown so I just laugh it off. When this has all blown over I'll still be creeping about," he continued. "I'm a good clown."
Rob Owens, another clown performer who takes pictures as his alter-ego Hank, also said he makes an effort not to scare people with the costume, but hasn't ventured out as much recently as a result of the pranksters. "I've never worn Hank in public," he told us.
"I think the whole thing has got out of hand very quickly, Allen added.
"I think someone will get hurt," Allen continued. "I think the public will start attacking the clowns."

So, Jon Voight Has Some Thoughts About Robert DeNiro's Anti-Trump Video
“I am so ashamed of my fellow actor Bobby DeNiro’s rant against Donald Trump.”
I mean, he’s so blatantly stupid. He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con, he’s a bullshit artist, he’s a mutt who doesn’t know what he is talking about, doesn’t do his homework, doesn’t care.
[He] think’s he is gaming society, doesn’t pay his taxes. He’s an idiot. Colin Powell said it best: ‘He’s a national disaster.’ He’s an embarrassment to this country. It makes me so angry that this country has got to this point where this fool, this bozo has wound up where he has.
He talks about how he wants to punch people in the face. Well, I’d like to punch him in the face. This is somebody that we want for president? I don’t think so.
What I care about is the direction of this country and what I am very, very worried about is that it might go in the wrong direction with someone like Donald Trump. If you care about your future vote for it.
And while #VoteDeNiro became a popular hashtag on Twitter...
