Simpson says her junior high school friend weaponized the information – “The whole school said I was a lesbian” (via toofab)
As she detailed in her book, Simpson told Dr. Oz she was abused by the daughter of a family friend from the time she was around 5 or 6 until she was 12. The girl was a year older than her at the time and Simpson later learned she was also being molested by an older boy.
"I had told one of my best friends the story and the whole school said I was a lesbian," said Simpson, who noted in her book this happened when she was in the eighth grade. "At that time, I didn't even know what that meant. I was the head cheerleader and I dropped out. I will never be a cheerleader again because these girls went over to the other team and told them and everybody started chanting 'Lesbian' and I ran out.
