Julianne Hough Admits That She Was Abused As A Child

Julianne Hough can dance her a$$ off, but behind her graceful moves is a pain that she will NEVER forget.

In the February issue of Cosmopolitan, the Dancing with the Stars hottie reveals that she was abused as a child and was seen as a sex symbol at 10-years-old.

Miz Hough disclosed:

“I was 10 years old looking like I was 28, being a very sensual dancer. I was a tormented little kid who had to put on this sexy façade because that was my job and my life. But my heart was the same, and I was this innocent little girl. I wanted so much love. While I was in London, I was abused, mentally, physically, everything. I was told if I ever went back to the United States, three things were going to happen. One: I was going to amount to nothing. Two: I was going to work at Whataburger. And three: I was going to end up a slut. So it was like, I can’t go back, I have to be this person."

But instead of being the girl everyone thought she was going to be, Julianne said "f**k that" and headed back to the US of A, where she's now a superstar!!

Werk it out girl!!
