'There was not a lot of repercussion for what had happened – and by the way, I'm not the only one in my family that had gone through similar things. And so that was a very challenging thing to come to terms with, which is nobody did anything,' she said. Speaking of telling her parents about the abuse, she said: 'When two people have an experience especially a child and a parent, we both are experiencing different things, even though we're having the same circumstance happen.
'At 15 and I said those things and shared those things, that was definitely, in the way that I knew how express it then as well, which was like,"This just happened but let's move on," because I also didn't want to deal with it either,"' she said, adding she now wants to talk more about the experience after undergoing healing.
Her divorced parents did not join her, and Julianne was abused by adults who were supposed to supervise her. Hough's debut novel, co-written with Ellen Goodlett, is 'about a woman who seemingly has everything together, perfect life, perfect husband, perfect marriage, perfect job,' she explained during a recent appearance on Good Morning America.
