Melanie Villarreal, daughter of famed singer Alicia Villarreal, reported through her Instagram account that she was being harassed by a member of her family.
Courageously and without fear, Melanie decided to raise her voice to commemorate International Women’s Day and confessed to her more than 100,000 followers that she was being abused by a family member five years ago.
I want you to know that I already posted it and that I know that Troy is going to burn, but I don’t care. I’m not going to tell you it was easy it was too hard because I had to talk to my dad my dad knew absolutely nothing about it I couldn’t tell him then and it took five years to tell himthe 22-year-old also stated in one of her Instagram stories.
Sorority and support
After her confession, Melanie wanted to show her support for all the women who have been harassed, assaulted, or violated for being female; to all women whose integrity has been violated. Alicia Villarreal’s daughter also made sure to give her with confidence to the girls and women who have experienced something similar but are afraid to report.
But the situation did not stop there, as the young woman decided to share how she was harassed by a family, which took place on November 12, 2016.
You knocked on the door of the room at dawn and told me that you had heard noises and that you would stay with me for everything, I made the decision to let you through, hours passed and the only thing I remember was your hand in my shorts, i was totally paralyzed for a while, and you just weren’t leaving, i felt like you were getting closer and closer as i had the courage to get up and run to the bathroom to find myself to lock upDescribed Carmona.
His father’s reaction
After realizing the confession made by Melanie through the social network, her father Arturo Carmona responded with a message in the same app expressing his grief.
With deep pain, today I discover my love about this, it hurts in my soul you did not come to me, I understand why you did not do it, today I repeat that I am there for you, that you are a mop and be brave when you do this and that never forget how valuable you are, that you are not alone you have me and it will not stay that wayCarmona wrote.
