Kellie Pickler on Childhood Abuse


The AmIdol standout, whose album is at #1 on the country charts, and who may have her own sitcom soon, reveals to Us Weekly that she suffered childhood physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her mother.

“I remember my mother and I were in the kitchen and I said, ‘I wish God would take me away, I’d much rather be dead than live here with you.’ She took a knife out, set it on the counter and said, ‘Here, do it then.’ I was in fourth grade. Of course I never would have acted upon it, but it’s done a lot of emotional scarring.”

So come on, Kat McPhee, let's hear about that fucking eating disorder one more time. I dare ya.

emotional scarring? What a fucking whiner! Don't everybody's parents do things like that when their kids say that stuff?

That's a good point -- it's not like she was getting beat with a broomstick (but who can be sure -- we'll have to read the rest of the article when it's on newsstands, right, Us Weekly?). But, I mean, my mom certainly wouldn't have indulged that sort of self-pity, but she also wouldn't have taken a knife out and encouraged me to make myself dead.
