Jamie Lever recalls being sexually harassed in school and college

Actor and comedian Jamie Lever, who was last seen in sports drama Crakk - Jeetegaa Toh Jiyegaa!, has recently shared her shocking personal experience. The actress recalled a childhood experience that left her traumatised.

In a recent interview with Hauterrfly, Jamie revealed that she was sexually harassed during her school and college days. She recalled multiple incidents that affected her mentally and stayed in her subconscious.

Jamie also shared one particular incident where a man outside her school behaved inappropriately while she and a friend waited in a car.

The actress recalled, “This one time, my friend and I were waiting in the car for my brother to come. While we were talking to each other, this guy came and stood opposite me and started to masturbate. This was the first time I saw a male part, and I was so young that I didn’t know what he was doing.”

She added, “I suddenly told my friend, ‘there is a creepy man behind you and I don’t know what he is doing.’ My friend suggested that I ignore him and continue to speak with her. I was very scared. I was shaking. I slowly moved and locked the car. After a while, he realised that we weren’t paying any attention to him. He left. I was just 10 or 12 then.”

However, the actress went on to share more incidents that left her traumatised. She revealed that a school bus conductor touched her inappropriately.

“There was also this bus conductor in our school who would touch us inappropriately. He was supposed to be our protector, but instead he would touch us and hold us. For me, all these incidents are like a bad dream. I don’t want to revisit these incidents,” Jamie continued.

She revealed that these incidents continued in college, including instances of men flashing at her at train stations.

Jamie recalled, “The flashing incidents happened a lot when I was in college. Men would just randomly flash at these train stations. Once, I was in Andheri station, when this man randomly came and stood before me and flashed. I couldn’t believe what I saw. I was in shock. The only thing I can think of is why did this happen to me? I just froze.”
