Mena Suvari spoke about being sexually abused as a 12-year-old and her struggle with drugs in a candid new interview with “Good Morning America”.

The star, 42, who has been promoting her new memoir The Great Peace, said of dealing with the success of movies like 1999’s “American Pie” and “American Beauty” at such a young age: “I was just catapulted [into fame].

I didn’t even really know what fame was. It wasn’t something that I’d ever wanted for myself.” She admitted she was living a double life, sharing: “I had all my stuff on the floor, I was living on the floor and then I’m going to this mega-million-dollar set, people are sprinkling rose petals on me. “I had to perform because at the same time everyone wanted that from me.” RELATED:
