In January, Alyssa Milano sent a heartbreaking message to her daughter Elizabella Dylan, explaining why she had talked about her sexual assault. She shares it nine months later with the whole world.
Milano, who shares Elizabella, 4, and her 7-year-old son, Milo Thomas, with her husband, David Bugliari, tweeted: "A year ago, I recorded this for my daughter, explaining why I had told my story of sexual assault. I never planned to publish it publicly. Now, I feel that it is too important not to share content. "She added the #MeToo hashtag.
Milano, 45, started the moving video: "Dear Elizabella, hello. She's your mom, and I wanted to give you a little video because I'm sitting in my caravan in Atlanta and I miss you so much, and I just wanted to do that for you. "

Milano was thinking back to October 2017, when she tweeted for the first time on the #MeToo movement after her friend suggested to her, "If all the women who were victims of harassment or sexual violence had written" Me too "as a status we could give people an idea of the magnitude of the problem. "
"One night, while I was in bed with you, I looked down at you and your sweet and beautiful face and I was really scared," said Milano. "I was scared for you and I sent a tweet asking the women to show solidarity, and many people responded. So, in a way, I wanted to make this video for you, because all of this is due to you, because you gave Mom strength.

Milano, in tears, concluded: "And I want you to know that I'm also working very hard. Many women work very hard to ensure that silence is not the norm for your generation and that you have never … said "Me too." But if you do, God forbid, if you ever say "Me too," I want you to know that you will be heard and that you should tell your truth and that Mother is always with you. … I love you very much and I will continue to fight.
