In a recent episode, Simmons -- the 32-year-old daughter of Run-DMC's Joseph Simmons, aka Rev. Run -- talked about going through domestic violence and verbal abuse in a previous relationship and called it one of the"worst times" in her life. ET's Denny Directo sat down with Simmons on Thursday, and she opened up about deciding to be so open about an intensely personal subject.
"It happened to me in the past, and I just felt like there are so many other women like me, right, who are going through the same thing who aren't speaking about it or need that little extra push or encouragement to get out of it," she says."I want to be their voice and I want them to know they're not alone. And sometimes domestic violence doesn't just look like being hit, or things being thrown at you, but it's also verbal abuse.
"I have a program called Pressure Makes Diamonds where I go and I speak to the women and just let them know you're beautiful -- just because you have flaws, it's what you come out as," she continues."And that's what makes you beautiful. It's accepting it and just owning it, and knowing that you grow from what you go through."
