Pop diva Christina Aguilera
has revealed that she was abused as a child and thinks that American
women need to wake up and voice their opinion to ensure that other kids
do not become victims of domestic violence.
Aguilera says she found an outlet for her emotional demons in her music and in the song I’m Okay from her album, Stripped, contains the words: “Every time my father’s fists would put her in her place.”
In her recent hit song Beautiful, she talks about the pain caused by verbal abuse: “I’m beautiful no matter what they say/words won’t bring me down.”
