In a shocking revelation, actress Olivia Hussey, best known for her role in the classic 1968 film “Romeo and Juliet,” has come forward with disturbing claims of a brutal assault that took place at the infamous residence where members of Charles Manson's cult carried out the heinous murders of actress Sharon Tate and four others.
Recalling the traumatic incident to People magazine, the now 67-year-old Hussey disclosed that she was viciously raped by her former actor boyfriend, Christopher Jones, shortly after the tragic events of 1969 unfolded at the Manson murder home.
Hussey detailed the abusive behavior she endured from Jones during their relationship, citing an instance where he callously struck her in the stomach despite her affection for him.
She admitted staying with him due to her youth and strong feelings towards him.
Before the gruesome murder of Sharon Tate, Hussey had agreed to reside in the guest house of her pregnant friend and then-husband, Roman Polanski.
The news of the tragic deaths shook her profoundly, as relayed by her agent Rudi Altobelli, who informed her of the devastating event.
Despite severing ties with Jones, Hussey made the decision to move into the notorious house associated with the Manson murders five weeks after the gruesome crime took place.
When Jones tracked her down to the location, he launched a violent attack on her, leaving her severely injured and in fear for her life.
The aftermath of the assault brought another anguish as Hussey discovered she was pregnant.
She grappled with the difficult choice of undergoing an abortion, a decision she made with a heavy heart but no subsequent regrets, as detailed in her newly released book, “The Girl on the Balcony.”
Reflecting on the harrowing experience, Hussey expressed the terror she felt during the assault, describing the physical injuries she sustained, including a swollen face, a bloody nose, a split lip, and a black eye.
The trauma of the incident lingers vividly in her memory.
When questioned about her audacious decision to continue living in the Manson murder house despite the haunting associations, Hussey responded defiantly, stating that many houses in England hold painful memories, downplaying the significance of the residence's dark past.
