Megan Barton Hanson recently shared a harrowing experience she went through with her abusive ex-boyfriend. She opened up about it during an interview on the podcast We Need to Talk with Paul Carrick Brunson. Megan revealed that she had fallen pregnant after her ex removed a condom without her consent during sex. This is known as stealthing, and it is considered rape. The incident occurred before Megan became famous on Love Island.
According to Megan, her ex, who was older than her, became angry and verbally abusive after she had an abortion. He even went as far as physically assaulting her, biting her nose and wrapping a seatbelt around her neck. He also filmed her and made cruel comments about her appearance, all while she was in shock and unable to react.
The abuse didn't stop there. Megan recalled a terrifying moment when her ex threatened to kill her and gave her only 10 seconds to run for safety. However, they were on a busy motorway, and Megan knew she wouldn't be able to outrun him. Eventually, they ended up at her parents' house, where her ex showed up with a crowbar and even strangled her mother.
Megan's ex was eventually given a short prison sentence after she testified against him in court. However, the nightmare didn't end there. She also shared that he had held a knife to her throat and forced her to financially support him. Despite the ongoing abuse, Megan stayed in the relationship and even went on a holiday with him, where he continued to physically and verbally assault her.
Megan has since sought therapy and is in a much better place. She has decided to speak out about her experience in the hopes of raising awareness and helping other women who may be going through similar situations. She believes that by sharing her story, more can be done to address the epidemic of violence against women.
In fact, on November 25, 2024, Metro launched a year-long campaign called This Is Not Right, in collaboration with Women's Aid, to bring attention to the issue of violence against women. Through this campaign, they aim to empower and engage their readers and provide a platform for women to share their stories.
Megan's story is just one of the many that will be shared throughout the campaign. She hopes that by speaking out, she can help prevent other women from going through the same ordeal. She also wants to encourage others to report any form of abuse they may be experiencing, as it can save lives.
If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic abuse, there are resources available to help. Don't hesitate to reach out for support. Together, we can put an end to violence against women.
