NEW YORK (CBS) Kendra Jade Rossi, ex-porn star and wife of Rockstar Supernova front man Lucas Rossi, and one of the eight celebrities getting help for their sex addiction on Dr. Drew's new reality show on VH1, tells a harrowing story of being a sex crime victim from the age of 2.
On Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew Kendra tells Dr. Drew that she was molested from the age of 2 until she was finally emancipated at the age of 14 and that she was raped in her teens.
Dr. Drew says that most children who are sexually abused grow up to believe that their only worth is for sex and points to Kendra's story as a prime example.
During her intake interview Kendra tells Dr. Drew that as a result of being molested and rape at such an early age she quickly came to believe that "sex equaled love". She confesses that she has cheated on everyone she has ever been in a relationship with and is now trying to get help for her addiction because she does not want to cheat on her husband.
On her and her husband's website Meet the Rossis, Kendra's back-story tells of a hard climb up from a troubled childhood to the glamorous life of a Hollywood celebrity. She was born in East Hampton, Massachusetts the oldest of five children and she spent several years bouncing between her own less than ideal home and foster homes until she finally gained her emancipation at age 14. After that she took on the responsibility of raising her two much younger sisters. She entered the adult film industry in 1998 and quickly became a star and favorite of the Howard Stern Show.
