Connie Chung Details Sexual Assault in Memoir
News summary

In her new memoir, "Connie: A Memoir," veteran journalist Connie Chung details her experience of sexual abuse by a trusted family doctor who had also delivered her at birth. The incident occurred during her first gynecological exam while she was in college, where she described the assault in graphic terms, noting the doctor's inappropriate actions and manipulations. Chung, who first publicly shared her story in a 2018 letter to Christine Blasey Ford, expresses regret for not reporting the doctor at the time. Additionally, she revealed that a sister later confided in her that she too had been assaulted by the same physician. The memoir serves as both a personal catharsis and a commentary on the lingering issues of sexism and racism in her industry. Chung hopes to empower others by sharing her story, emphasizing the need for awareness and change.
