Joan Collins has spoken on camera for the first time about being raped by her future husband Maxwell Reed.
Speaking to former Israeli Miss World, Linor Abargil, who was raped herself six weeks before being crowned the tittle, 81 year old Joan said:“I was raped when I was seventeen years old.”'The attack occurred while she was on a date with Maxwell Reed, who went on to be her first husband – he passed away in 1974.On the evening Michael went to take a bath leaving a young and somewhat naïve Joan to read some books and drink a rum and coke.But Joan was surprised by the books content:
“The books were porn, which I’d never seen before. Hardcore porn.”The next thing I knew, I was out flat on the sofa in that living room and he was raping me.And what he had given me was a drug. He had drugged my drink.The star goes on to admit the guilt she felt following the incident.
“It was what is called in those days a Mickey Finn. Which I think today would be Rohypnol. It felt so horrible. That I...that I'd done this thing.”
“It wasn’t my fault but I didn’t know, I went out with him. And maybe I shouldn’t have gone out with him. He was much older than me, and he was a famous star.
“And anyway the bottom line is that he called me, and I went out with him again. And after I'd been going out with him for a few months, he asked me to marry him.
“And I thought, "Well I better because you know, he took my virginity." I really hated him, but I was so filled with guilt, that he had done this thing to me.”
It took a long time to be able to really trust any man.'
Linor, 34 a mother of three, has since found religion and swapped bikinis for a head scarfSource-Uk Mirr
