The artist went on to discuss the effects she felt after this incident, including the fact that she ended up pregnant.
"I couldn't feel my own body," she said. "First I felt full-on pain, then I felt numb, and then I was sick for weeks after.
"I realised that it was the same pain that I felt when the person who raped me dropped me off pregnant on a corner, at my parent's house, because I was vomiting and sick. Because I had been being abused and I was locked away in a studio for months."
"I had a total psychotic break and, for a couple years, I was not the same girl. The way that I feel when I feel pain was how I felt after I was raped."
