American actress Sarah Hyland opened up about her own #MeToo story to extend support to Dr.Christine Blasey Ford, who gave an emotional testimony about being sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. The 'Modern Family' actress through a heart wrenching social media post revealed why she didn't report the person who sexually abused her during her high school days. 

Hyland took to Twitter on Thursday, September 27 and revealed that she was brutally assaulted when she was in the senior year of her high school. Although she didn't reveal the identity of the person, she said that he was a friend. In the post the actress wrote, " #WhyIDidntReport,” she began. “He was a friend. It was New Year’s Eve my senior year of high school. Everyone was drunk. He broke into the bathroom I was in. I hoped it was a dream but my ripped tights in the morning proved otherwise. I thought no one would believe me. I didn’t want to be called dramatic. After all, I didn’t say no. Shock can do that to a person. #BelieveWomen #MeToo #IBelieveHer.”
