Singer, 'John Wick' Spinoff Star Rina Sawayama Says She was Groomed By a Teacher at 17

Shirlaine Forrest/Redfernsstar Rina Sawayama says she was groomed by a teacher at the age of 17. The pop singer, now 33,that she only realized she “was actually groomed” as a teenager when she reached her 30s, because that’s how old her groomer was.

“There’s a secondary school [near where I live] and to think that it could ever be acceptable for me to look at a 17 year old and say, ‘Oh yeah, that’s fine,’ and try to go for them, I remember distinctly how uncomfortable that made me, but I didn’t put two and two together,” she continued. “I was so badly slut-shamed that I developed shame around my sexuality, and completely lost my sense of self. I detached from my skin, I don’t know how to describe it. I felt so afraid of things and had anxiety attacks,” she said.
