Kristina has alleged that Ed first suggested they take a nap in the guest bedroom. In the post, she says: "I went and laid down in the guest room where I eventually fell asleep.
"I was woken up abruptly by Ed on top of me, his fingers entering my body. I told him to stop, but he was strong. I fought him off as hard as I could but he grabbed my face in his hands, shaking me, telling me he wanted to f*ck me. I was paralysed, terrified. I couldn't speak, I could no longer move. He held me down and raped me."

She alleges that her boyfriend claimed that she was an "active participant", and "blamed" her. She also alleged that he told her to keep quiet about the alleged incident or her career would be over.

She continued: "There's no way I can go around saying Ed 'raped' me and I don't want to be 'that girl'.
"I hope that my stories and the stories of others help to reset and realign the toxic environments and power imbalances that have created these monsters."
