She explained: ‘I’ve been labelled a slut from the age of 16, mainly by boys I had dated, or boys I had turned down, until my group of friends started to join in by calling me “the sl*t of the group”…
‘At this point, I wasn’t sexually active. I was given this label because I made a crucial mistake: a boy a few years above me in school had asked me to send him a video of me masturbating. I declined, he went on to ask me if I had even done it before…
‘I hadn’t, but of course wanted to impress him and so I told him I had. The next day the whole school was talking about it. It’s amusing to me when I look back at it, but at the time it felt like my whole world was caving in.’
