\nActress Alyssa Milano choked back tears recalling being sexually assaulted at a famous pop star\u2019s concert when she was just 19-years-old.
Milano added a video to her Twitter account where she spoke about her own assault while protesting in Senator Susan Collins office. Senator Collins was one of the Republican senators who called the FBI\u2019s investigation of Brett Kavanaugh \u201cvery thorough\u201d despite the organization only calling nine witnesses to verify accusations against the Supreme Court Justice nominee.
\u201cI told one of my #MeToo stories in @SenatorCollins office. I was with her constituent. We asked to speak with Senator Collins. She hid. Here\u2019s my story through a \u2018human microphone.\u2019 I\u2019ll never know if she heard me. *Trigger Warning*.\u201d
In the clip, Milano told a crowd of supporters in Collins\u2019 office, \u201cWhen I was 19 years old, I was at a concert of a very famous pop star who told the crowd to get closer to her. This resulted in a stampede. People were smashed against each other. I couldn\u2019t breathe. I thought I was gonna die.\u201d
She tearfully continued the story of her assault by remarking, \u201cFrom behind me, I felt a hand up my skirt, and I was punched repeatedly in the vagina.\u201d
She continued: \u201cI couldn\u2019t turn around. I looked to the stage, and I looked to the security guards, and I said, \u2018Please help me.\u2019 And they couldn\u2019t help me. They shook their head. I managed to break free, and I climbed up the stage to get away from my predator.\u201d
Milano explained that she did not tell anyone about the assault because, in the sea of people behind her at the show, she could not find her assailant.

\u201cI couldn\u2019t report because I didn\u2019t know who it was to report. And I didn\u2019t tell anybody because I didn\u2019t know who it was to tell on. And I kept the secret just like Dr. [Christine Blasey] Ford kept her secret for decades,\u201d she said of the woman who testified against Kavanaugh in front of Congress.
