'Reacher' actor Alan Ritchson, made a shocking revelation of being a victim of multiple sexual assaults. In an interview, Alan revealed that he suffered from depression and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder because of this horrific experience. The actor told Hollywood Reporter that it began when he was in the modelling industry and it also continued when he got into the acting profession. He even tried to commit suicide but couldn't.

Alan, 41, said, "There are very few redeeming qualities to working in [the modelling] industry. Let바카라s be honest, it바카라s like legalised sex trafficking. The industry is not regulated, and it바카라s a widely known secret that if you바카라re hired on a job, you바카라re basically being passed off to a photographer to be trafficked".

He further said, 바카라The number of times and situations where I was put in horrific environments where sexual abuse was the goal and the paycheck that you were desperate for in order to survive was the carrot, I can바카라t count on two hands. It was quite often.바카라

Ritchson also revealed that he was booked for a shoot for a very famous photographer. The actor recalled he was sent into a hotel room to do nudes and was promised that if I did the shoot, he would get a very ''lucrative campaign'' for a magazine and a clothing brand. He added, ''I was sexually assaulted by this guy.바카라

When he got into acting, a person, with whom he collaborated for a film fund, assaulted him. He said, 바카라She gave me an ultimatum to come to her room and said that if I didn바카라t, she would destroy the business and she would destroy me by calling TMZ to claim I sexually assaulted her.바카라

'The Hunger Games' actor wanted to end his life by hanging himself, but he blacked out at the last moment. He had a vision of his sons, Calem, Edan, and Amory, that stopped him from taking his life. After these incidents, he was diagnosed with bipolarity at the age of 36 and ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) at 40.

He added, 바카라What I kept falling back on was the meaning and purpose of life as someone who believes that there is a creator, and we are created beings, our purpose in life is, without qualifications, to make the world a better place and serve others. That is what life is all about.바카라
