Beauty guru Kenton: I was raped by dad
London: Beauty guru Leslie Kenton has revealed in her new memoir Love Affair for the first time that she was raped by her own father when she was 11 and that the secret incest lasted until she was 13.
“My friend Gail Rebuck, who was my first editor and is now the chairman of Random House, told me, ‘You need to write a memoir.’ I said, ‘Gail, I can’t. No one would believe it, and the tabloids would go wild.’ And Gail said, ‘Who cares? This book will be the bridge between what you have done before and the work you will do afterwards.’”For decades, there have been hints that the woman known as the high priestess of the real beauty movement, she advocated high-raw, high-vegetable diets and detoxifying way back in the 70s. —IANS
