abuse
In an article penned for Friday's edition of German newspaper Bild, the
actress said that she's "deeply shocked" by the allegations. In a new book, Pola
Kinski details her father's alleged emotional and sexual abuse over a 14-year
period, during which he warned his daughter not to tell anyone what
happened.
Nastassja Kinski says that it's a "difficult moment" for her but that she's
proud that her half sister found the strength to write the book. She wrote, "My
sister is a heroine, because she has freed her heart, her soul and also her
future from the weight of the secret."
