“Next thing I knew, I was out flat on the couch in the living room and he was raping me. And what he gave me was a drug. He drugged my drink.”
It was called in those days Mickey Finn. Which I think would be Rohypnol today. I felt terrible. I… that I did this thing.
In her naivety, young Joan Collins felt terrible guilt. It wasn’t my fault but I didn’t know, I went out with it. And maybe I shouldn’t have gone out with him. He was much older than me, and he was a famous star.
And anyway, the bottom line is, he called me, and I went out with him again. And after I went out with him for a few months, he asked me to marry him.
And I thought, “Well, I’m better because you know, he took my virginity.” I really hated him, but was so full of guilt, that he did this thing to me.

They are by no means children. I wouldn’t have married someone like that in a million years. Conclusively, I can say that it is not true, that I have never seen any of this kind of behavior from Anthony. . “.

Sasha’s sister Tara also refuted the allegations, saying, “I am shocked by my brother’s comments. On my end, I don’t recognize the guy he’s describing. I had an incredibly close relationship with my father and am deeply upset by these false claims.
