The singer says she 'buried' the memory for years and initially questioned her own feelings of violation: 'What if I’m wrong? I don’t want to look stupid.”
“It happened to me on the night before the first ever Spice Girls live performance. And we’d never done a full-length concert before, so, obviously, we’d rehearsed for weeks ahead—costume fittings, make-up, hair—everything was leading towards the pinnacle of everything I’d ever wanted to do and ever wanted to be,” Chisholm told Day. She said she decided to treat herself to a massage at the hotel in Istanbul the night before, and was assaulted by the massage therapist.
“What happened to me, I kind of buried immediately, because there was [sic] other things to focus on,” Chisholm said. “You know, I didn’t want to make a fuss, but also I didn’t have time to deal with it. And because I didn’t deal with it at the time, I realize that I allowed that to be buried for years and years and years.
She also talked to Day about her feelings of self-doubt after the assault. “I suppose in a version of sexual assault, it’s a mild version, you know, but I felt violated. I felt very vulnerable. I felt embarrassed, you know, and then I felt unsure, ‘Have I got this right, what’s going on?’” Chisholm said. “I was in an environment where you take your clothes off with this professional person. … What if I’m wrong? I don’t want to look stupid.
