British singer-songwriter Kate Nash has relocated from London to Los Angeles, California and is currently recording her fourth album.
The singer is a prolific social media user, and recently posted on Instagram about a frightening incident that happened in her LA home.
According to Nash, she was alone in her home when she got groped by a man she doesn’t know.
“I was alone & cornered in a bathroom & extremely threatened. I’m sharing this information with you because women are encouraged to keep quiet, not take up space & hide when they get violated. We are scared to come forward because we don’t want to cause trouble or a scene.”
She also made the point that there is still a culture where women are often blamed for assaults carried out on them.
“Women & girls are also mostly told they were asking for it & accused of making it up. So sometimes we think twice about coming forward, or we don’t at all. I’m tired of feeling that way.”
She singer called for more discussion of the issues of sexual abuse and rape culture in the same post.
