At 29 years-of-age, Malcolm explained why she hadn&#8217;t spoken up until now and detailed how she was weight shamed and groomed all before the age of entering adulthood age.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By the age of 18, I&#8217;d lived in three countries alone. I traveled to all continents except for Antarctica. I&#8217;d been groomed by a much older man. I&#8217;d been sexually assaulted multiple times,&#8221; she said. Malcolm also added that while underage she was told to &#8220;do cocaine to lose weight&#8221; and &#8220;have lots of sex to lose weight&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CQ0yN0IHaZe\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
