The director reveals how childhood trauma and sexual abuse -- which he didn't truly recognize until this year -- sparked a 'scary' incident in January in which he reportedly 'awoke in terror, convinced he was losing his mind' (via toofab)
The director opens up about the sexual abuse and body shaming he experienced as a child, which led to a version of himself he calls "the other guy" taking over for years.
According to Smith, one of those traumas was being forced to perform sexual acts with a young girl in an alleyway when he was just six by an older boy. He claimed the boy was also going to force them to perform acts on him as well, before an adult intervened. Smith said the incident left him feeling"scared, humiliated and ashamed" but was something he always thought about as"just playing doctor in an alleyway" before therapy.
"My fourth grade teacher said something that shaped the rest of my life," he said, saying the incident happened while the whole class was standing during the Pledge of Allegiance and morning prayers."I felt her looking at me, I felt her eyes boring into me and finally, before I sit down at my desk, I look up at my 4th grade teacher, a woman in her 50s, looks down at me with the most abject disgust in face and says,"Ugh, the gut on you Mr. Smith.
