Nowadays she is best known as Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend, but before that she was a big dancing star who as it turns out was hiding somehting. Julianne Hough has recently opened up in Cosmopolitan magazine about the abuse she had to deal with growing up!

She’s got a new movie coming out where she plays a domestic abuse survivor & has admitted that she was abused mentally & physically before she turned 15. While she admits being a real life victim of abuse, she didn’t go into detail concerning who did it or in what way she was abused. She said,  “I’m a very forgiving person, and I don’t want to hurt anybody. What’s past is past.”

Julianne also mentioned that she feels she was sexualized too young saying, “I was 10 years old looking like I was 28, being a very sensual dancer. I was a tormented little kid who had to put on this sexy façade because that was my job and my life. But my heart was the same, and I was this innocent little girl. I wanted so much love.”
