Former star of the WWE Sean "X-pac" Waltman talks about being the subject of sexual abuse
TMZ has published an article on the history of former WWE talent Sean Waltman about being sexually abused a child and its efforts to help other victims to cope with their pain.
Waltman posted a blog on their official website on Monday (available here) to praise Mick Foley for his efforts with RAINN (rape abuse and incest network) which is a "survivor of repeated abuse and sexual assault of age 5 at the age of 12 years". Work of Foley inspired Waltman to reveal their own personal experience.
Saying their abusers were men and women. Waltman wrote, "the most psychologically damaging incidents came at the hands of an adult man who really brought me to my first match pro wrestling".
Waltman said that you told his family about the abuse when he was twenty years: "is so difficult for the victims of sexual abuse to present." Shame & fear at present is overwhelming.
"Feel it is our fault or for fear of what people think of preventing many of never having submitted..." "Choose to speak openly about the subject, in the hope that can inspire others to present and expose these people."
He continued, "this is a big step in dealing with the psychological damage to the victim & you can also save others from having to suffer the same fate." "That is why I can not thank enough Mick for his work with RAINN."

By Daniel Pena
Apr 28, 2011 - 5:16:29 PM The Honky Tonk Man claimed on his weekly podcast on Monday (audio available at www.htmradio.com) that Karen Jarrett (formerly Angle) is the alleged victim of a sexual harassment lawsuit against TNA Wrestling.
The former WWE Intercontinental Champion says Karen was sexually harassed by TNA Wrestling president Dixie Carter's husband Serge Salinas.
He says a settlement was reached and that "part of the deal" involved Karen being given her job back with TNA Wrestling. He claims Carter was removed from television earlier this year due to the lawsuit.
The Honky Tonk Man tweeted Monday: "Anyone who missed HTM's announcement on TNA tonight. Karen Angle vs Dixie Carter's husband is the sexual harassment lawsuit going down! That's why Dixie is off TV and Karen is now back with the company as part of the settlement."
