Teri Hatcher brought her abuser to justice

Teri Hatcher smiling at a table at the Vanity Fair party with the caption I don't care what you people say - I am fierce!
Ok, now I feel bad for ragging on Teri Hatcher and have to say that I hope I look that good at 41. In the latest issue of Vanity Fair, Hatcher reveals that she was abused at age five by an uncle. The uncle was later convicted thanks to Teri’s statement to police testimony in another molestation case. Unfortunately, the victim committed suicide:

The 41-year-old actress says she learned in 2002 that a 14-year-old victim of her uncle had committed suicide. Concerned that he would escape charges of molestation, Hatcher approached the prosecutors.

“This is something I’ve tried to hide my whole life,” Hatcher tells the magazine…

“I have so much pain,” she says. “I’m a woman who carries around all these layers of fear and vulnerability. I’m trying to be my powerful me.”

Teri testified went public with her story even though her career was languishing and she faced being called an attention hound by the press. You go, Teri. Even though Clooney is hot, he’s damaged goods and a womanizer so please pick someone who will treat you right. Also work on smiling normally at future events.

Update 3/10: Page Six reports that Hatcher went to police with her story, but did not testify in court.
