Kara DioGuardi: I was molested as a child - Memoir

This memoir is a year too late I think. Kara DioGuardi could still be a judge on American Idol. We would have all sympathized with her instead of hated her.

But seriously, Kara reveals some dark stuff in her memoir and my heart goes out to her. I appreciate her inner strength much more now.

Go Kara! We love you! I'm so watching Platinum Hits on Bravo.

From MSNBC:

Kara DioGuardi may be one of the most successful people in the music business, but life hasn't always sounded so sweet for the former "American Idol" judge.

In her new memoir (out April 26), "A Helluva High Note," DioGuardi reveals that, among other things, she was molested as a child and was date-raped by a well-known music producer.

DioGuardi, whose new show "Platinum Hit" premieres on Bravo on May 30, reveals that she was repeatedly molested when she was just 11 years old by a family friend's son who was in his late teens. "On one particular day, he took me into the back shed of his house and put his hands all over my breasts and vagina," she writes. "I remember freezing and not knowing what to do."
