The “Cruel Intentions” star reveals in her upcoming memoir that she first got drunk at just 7 years old and eventually started turning to booze as a “comfort.”
Selma Blair credits her childhood battle with alcoholism for saving her from personal traumas.
The actress writes in her book, which hits stores May 17, that being intoxicated for the first time was a “revelation.” “I usually barely even got tipsy. I became an expert alcoholic, adept at hiding my secret,” she writes. “Writing that stopped me dead in my tracks,” she told People. “My sense of trauma was bigger than I knew. I did not realize that assault was so central in my life. I had so much shame and blame. I’m grateful I felt safe enough to put it on the page. And then can work on it with a therapist and with other writing, and really relieve that burden of shame on myself.”
