This Saturday, March 16, the Belgian singer revealed the identity of the man who raped her when she was a child.
Lio’s terrible revelations. In the columns of the magazine Maxthe singer reveals having been raped by her stepfather, Alberto Nogueira.
“My life is a daily struggle, she explains. There are mornings when I get up and make coffee, it’s the end of the world. Because a childhood with an incestuous stepfather – I am not afraid to say it today – also distanced me from my sister (Helena Noguerra, Editor’s note), because my stepfather is his father. This never ends.”
“It took me many years to put the word ‘rape’ to what happened to me, I was raped other times afterwards, because I didn’t put the word to the first one” , she clarified.
When she was 10…
In 2021, Lio had already described being raped when she was 10 years old, without naming her attacker.
“I was raped by a relative when I was 10 years old in the back of my parents’ car, she detailed in an interview given to Leisure TV. Digitally. Quietly, while my parents drove, next to my little sister who was 3 years old.”
Recently, the singer was vocal about the sexist excesses of the world in the world of cinema.
“Yes, there are strong women who say no, but what do we do with the others? Predators choose the injured one from the herd.”
