8. Gabrielle Union – Sexually Assaulted At Gunpoint
Best known for her work in Bring it On and Bad Boys II, actress Gabrielle Union has a massive dark mark on her past. One night when she was 19-years old, Union was working at a Payless shoe store, a summer job she had just recently taken on. She was closing up shop when a man burst in carrying a gun. The man took Union into a backroom where he proceeded to r*pe her at gunpoint.
It was learned that this man was a former employee of the shoe store and had r*ped another employee at another branch. Union had the man convicted and sentenced to 33 years in prison and she also took Payless to court for negligence, winning that lawsuit as well. Now, Union uses this tragic experience to help others that find themselves in similar situations.
