Vida Green Breaks Silence on Alleged Sexual Assault

Vida Green Breaks Silence on Alleged Sexual Assault

Musician Vida Green, who required surgery for a hysterectomy and intestinal obstruction in 2021, has recently shared a public statement detailing alleged sexual assault by a close partner. 

In 2021, colleague entertainers had organized a concert and established a GoFundMe account to facilitate her medical treatment in Ghana. 

Five years following her surgery, Green posted about her ongoing ordeal.

In her statement, Green asserted that she was choosing to speak because the silence had become heavier than the pain she had carried privately. 

She claimed that a partner she deeply loved and trusted had violated that trust in a devastating way, alleging that he sexually assaulted and raped her multiple times despite her repeated pleas for him to stop.

Green recounted that after recovering from her illness and surgery, she had clearly informed the partner that she was still healing and was not ready to be sexually active, needing time to recover from her scars and regain strength. 

She noted that although he initially seemed understanding, the trust was later broken violently. She alleged that he forced himself on her, tearing her clothes and causing physical injuries, including bruising and biting. 

She stated that she had tearfully shown him her surgery scars, hoping he would stop, but he continued the assault.

Green explained that she had remained silent for a long time due to fear that she would not be believed and would instead be blamed or subjected to the cruel questions often directed at survivors. 

She reported that this experience had deeply affected her mental health, causing emotional exhaustion, disconnection, an inability to sleep or function normally, and a constant state of survival. 

She concluded by stating that remaining silent was destructive, asserting her right to tell her truth, and stressing that the reality of what was done to her should not be erased by the perpetrator's status or public perception. 

She added that if anything were to happen to her, she wished it to be known that she had spoken her truth.
