Kenny Anderson, Ex NBA Guard Stars In "Penis Monologues," Says He Was Sexually Abused As Child [VIDEO]

Participating in the Broadway production“The Penis Monologues,” retired NBA guard Kenny Anderson is opening up about a childhood he says included sexual abuse.

In an autobiographical play organized by longtime friend Joe Brown Jr., Anderson openly speaks of having been molested as a child in at least two different instances by two different people when he was just eight and nine years old.

Early next year, Anderson says he plans to release an autobiography entitled "Instructions Not Included," which he hopes will be of some use to those who undergone some of the same experiences he has been forced to endure.

“Let people know that this is me, this is what happened to me,” Anderson told reporters. “The bottom line is if I can help somebody. They see Kenny Anderson got molested and he’s talking about it. Now people gone come out and maybe be able to tell their story.”

For as long as he can remember, Anderson recalls struggling with the same issues most child sex victims fall victim to. He insists he kept the gory details all to himself and become a recluse, spending most of his time with "me and my basketball."

“It killed me like it killed some other kids that’s (sic) been molested,” he said. “You can really take a lot out of a kid for the rest of their lives.  I think without the fame, without the basketball, celebrity, notoriety, might have been more difficult for me.”

Even now, Anderson admits to still struggling with his journey.

“I wasn’t going to do it, but the trigger went off for me and this had to be done,” he said.
