And I also want to say, screw you! By Savannah Walsh. Sister Renata banged my head into the metal locker. When Rosie Perez was eight, she got the chance to join her half-siblings at a group home upstate. She was finally able to enroll in the regular school system, and she unknowingly began to shape her future "I knew how to choreograph because I was part of the cheerleading squad in upstate New York," the In Living Color choreographer told Elle.

The move was good for her, but her visits home to see her mother were anything but. Perez's half-siblings told her that their mom was schizophrenic. All she really knew was that she would sometimes get punched for no apparent reason. Her mother reportedly hadn't lost her love of firearms, either — on one home visit, she walked her daughter into a convenience store with a concealed gun and forced her to shoplift.

Speaking to Aljazeera America , Perez revealed that even though her mom used to treat her horribly, her rejection still hurt.

Sadly, nobody was there to help Perez when she was subjected to sexual assault in the one place she should have been able to feel safe — her mother's home.

To make matters worse, the perpetrator was a family member. Perhaps the most horrifying reveal from Perez's tell-all book was that her half-brother sexually assaulted her on two separate occasions during her childhood.

The alleged attacks took place when Perez was home visiting her mother, who she said reacted violently after her daughter told her what had happened. Perez was beaten and branded a liar by her mom, and her half-brother was never prosecuted for his crimes, per CNN.

For Perez, helping her half-siblings break the cycle of abuse all of them were victims, she said was the most important thing. It didn't take Rosie Perez long to get sick of the beatings coming at her from all angles. She realized pretty quickly that she needed to know how to properly defend herself against attackers, and she knew right away which discipline was for her. The actress has been into boxing since she saw Wilfred Benitez who, like her, is of Puerto Rican decent lose to Sugar Ray Leonard as a teenager.

I felt so guilty about that, but I just loved the way he fought. That's when I knew I was hooked. According to the star, the cast had "two and a half more episodes to do" when production shut down due to the outbreak. It's a virus that's going around. This is serious.
