Radio-TV personality Kat Alano revealed that she was raped by a public figure nine years ago.<\/p>\n

This she shared in the April 24 episode of \u201cGood Times with Mo The Podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her revelation, which came after Deniece Cornejo accused Vhong Navarro of rape, intrigued some netizens, saying that she just wants to ride in the popularity of the issue.<\/p>\n

But Alano strongly denied the allegations, saying that she just had the courage to speak up now.<\/p>\n

The narration<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so hard to say it. The past three months have been hard dealing with that, constantly telling myself that \u2018I was raped.\u2019 I was raped. Coming to terms with that myself, this happened to me. And I have to deal with that now,\u201d Kat told Mo.
\nKat shared that she met her alleged rapist while she was working in television. She added that the alleged rape occurred in her own apartment after the guy insisted to drive her home.
\n\u201cHe said to me, \u2018Let me drive you home.\u2019 I was like, \u2018No, it\u2019s okay. I\u2019ll go with my friends.’ And he was like, \u2018No, let me drive you home. (I said) \u2018Really, I can drive and it\u2019s really close by.\u2019 He\u2019s insisting to drive me home,\u201d Kat narrated.
\nWhen they arrived in her apartment, she knew she didn\u2019t want the guy to enter, but she said that she couldn\u2019t control her body.<\/p>\n

“At that time it (if being drugged) didn\u2019t even cross my mind. I felt confused, I felt baffled. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on with me. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening to my body. It\u2019s like I was in a fog,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI blacked out again. I was lying on my bed and he was lying on top of me. I blacked out again. I woke up again because he was kissing me. I was dreaming and I thought he was the guy I was dating that time. And I opened my eyes, and I saw that it\u2019s him. I freaked out and I started crying. I was like \u2018No!\u2019”<\/p>\n

Why did she just reveal it now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t want to be silent anymore. I don\u2019t want to keep it to myself anymore. Something bad happened to me and nobody is listening. And when I tell people, they call me a liar. How are you supposed to say anything?\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that she\u2019s not yet ready to name her rapist, \u201cI\u2019m not ready to do that because what it will become is public figure versus public figure. The act that I was raped and rape itself will be totally lost in a bunch of other stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when I am ready, I will face that part. I know I have to. I will because what am I supposed to do, just let my rapist go free? Is that what we’re supposed to do with everybody?”<\/p>\n
