Blondie star Debbie Harry reveals she was raped at knifepoint by an armed robber
 

Yikes:(

I don't believe she means that flippant comment, any victim of sexual abuse will say how long lasting it is, and I've been a fan of hers for years and this has never been mentioned before while she has been otherwise very open, so it must have left its marks...

Horrific. I assume she's put emotional distance between the attack and herself which is quite common in historic sexual assault but not too healthy if she hasn't come to to terms with it or worked through any trauma in a healthy way. I'm just assuming though, she could have easily gotten the help she needs prior to revealing all of this and she's simply in a place she can talk about it.

I hope the rapist got caught before he could do it again.

When she was young
in the 1970's

NYC a bad place then.

I adore Debbie and have followed her since before they hit the big time. She came from a culture that was harsh, times were tough, but she is a very mentally strong woman, that's why she was successful. She just didn't let that horrible event get in the way of what she wanted to achieve.

Sure was. The full article also describes an encounter she had with someone who she believed to be Ted Bundy. I trimmed that because she's been talking about it for years.

Love Debs
