The Only Way Is Essex star Yazmin Oukhellou candidly revealed she has previously been a victim of domestic abuse as she announced the launch of her wellness retreat in the UK
Yazmin Oukehllou has revealed she once considered taking her own life after falling victim to domestic abuse.
She explains in the clip: "At the time when your family and friends don't understand it and you want a way out when people are like: 'Why do you keep going back to this person' and all you can do is look it up through YouTube videos. "It's something I couldn't find myself. But, if I could help just one woman in the same situation then I feel like I've used my platform for the greater good.""This is what I've been made to do," she added in the clip and said she looked forward to helping women become "strong, confident boss women" with her new venture.
"I was left battered, bruised, fearing for my life on so many occasions and even contemplating ending my own life where I felt so worthless and I just couldn’t see a way out. "I look back and think how did I put up with that torture for so long. Making out to the world, my family and friends that I had the perfect life when the reality was worse than you could ever imagine.
She continued: "After having intense therapy and speaking out to my friends and family I decided that this would now become my purpose to share my story and help so many of you going through something similar and help you get out and build you back up to YOU again.
