Margaret Cho Gets Real About Being a Sex Worker: 'There's No Shame'
"Cho recently revealed to Billboard magazine that she was bullied, sexually abused and raped as a young girl. She was sexually molested by a family friend from age five to 12. “I had a very long-term relationship with this abuser, which is a horrible thing to say. I didn’t even understand it was abuse, because I was too young to know,” she said. “I endured it so many times, especially because I was alone a lot.” Cho said she was raped again at 14 and throughout her teenage years.
On Thursday, she compared her sex industry experiences with being abused. “I have way more PTSD from rape. That’s real. Sex work was just a good way to make money. At least for me then,” she said.
“I support sex workers because I was one and I know that it’s a job that’s needlessly shunned by society when frankly we should be worshipped,” Cho continued.
She went on to say that even the Bible glorified the world’s oldest profession as Mary Magdalene “was a whore and Jesus loved her.”"
