Christina Milian Cries During Interview As She Recalls Domestic Abuse From Ex-Boyfriend
Christina Milian opened up about her horrific past with her ex-boyfriend during Tuesday's episode of E "Christina Milian Turned Up" show. The singer revealed how she feared for her life when her ex pointed a loaded gun to her head.
Milian, 34, revealed she was in an abusive relationship with a man when she was only 17. The former Disney star opened up about the domestic abuse she had to suffer from her ex-boyfriend in an interview with journalist Tanya Williams, who is said to also be a survivor of domestic violence.
In the video shared by Jezebel, Milian talked about the moment she thought she'd die when her ex-boyfriend pointed a pistol to her head.
"One time he played Russian roulette on me. He put one bullet in a gun and pointed it at my face. When you have a gun in your face, all you can think about is your family and people who love you," she said, crying.
"Staring down the barrel of a gun is the scariest thing you could ever experience. It's not funny, it's not for the movies. There's a chance of life or death in one click," Milian further told Williams.
Without revealing his name, Milian also said her ex-boyfriend would wake her up by "stomping and kicking her." When she reportedly tried to get out of the relationship, he threatened that he would blow up her mom's house and also scared her with talks about his "gang relationships."
Milian said it was eventually her mother, Carmen, who helped her out of the abusive relationship. Her mother gave her money so she can leave Los Angeles and move to New York, away from her ex-boyfriend.
In the same video, Carmen also relived the many times she saw her daughter filled with bruises on her body and she would cover them up all the time. Milian's emotionally-wrought mother said, "It was so hard to deal with you being like that and you just kept staying. [For] a mother to sit there and think that any day I was gonna get that phone call that you were gone."
Milian's confession about her abusive past relationship was brought up during a conversation with Carmen about the Stop Attack app. The app is described on its official website as an "assault-response" app that is very handy for people suffering from domestic abuse since it provides "virtual witness to assaults."
