'Birth of a Nation' Star Gabrielle Union on Nate Parker: 'I Cannot Take Rape Allegations Lightly'
FUSE TV - 'Birth of a Nation' Star Gabrielle Union on Nate Parker: 'I Cannot Take Rape Allegations Lightly'
Gabrielle Union is speaking up about the rape allegations surrounding Nate Parker that recently came to life. The actress, who plays Esther in Parker's Birth of a Nation movie, wrote an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times that explains why she chose the role and bravely recalls being raped herself.
The actress reveals she was raped 24 years ago at gunpoint and that she found out about her co-star's rape case one month ago:
"Since Nate Parker’s story was revealed to me, I have found myself in a state of stomach-churning confusion. I took this role because I related to the experience. I also wanted to give a voice to my character, who remains silent throughout the film. In her silence, she represents countless black women who have been and continue to be violated. Women without a voice, without power. Women in general. But black women in particular."
