OHMYGOSSIP — Maura Higgins was sexually assaulted while she was asleep in a taxi.
The 31-year-old reality star – who finished in fourth place on the fifth series of ‘Love Island’ back in 2019 – held a Q and A on Instagram on Monday (08.08.22) when she was asked about her “worst experience” with a man, and claimed that while she “isn’t ready” to talk about that particular incident, alleged that a man in her native Ireland had once “put his hand up her skirt” after a night out with friends.
She said: “So would you believe I actually have many? Well, a few. The worst one I’ve never ever ever opened up about and don’t think even think I’m ready yet. It was one of the scariest things that’s ever happened to me. I had an incident with a taxi driver a long time ago in Ireland. Silly me, I fell asleep. My friends were dropped off before me and I was dropped off alone because I lived alone at the time. I woke up and his hand was right up my skirt.”
The former ‘Dancing on Ice’ contestant went on to explain that she “sobered up” almost immediately and memorised the taxi’s number but did not reveal if she took any further actions.
She added: “Honestly, I sobered up so quickly. I memorised his taxi number so quick and still remembered it the next day.”
Elsewhere in the chat, Maura – who is currently single but was previously in a relationship with previously in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional Giovanni Pernice – revealed to her followers that she has been left wondering whether she should take a break from the contraceptive pill after using the birth control method for several years and asked her 3.5 million followers for advice.
She said: “I’ve been on the same birth control, so I’ve been on the pill for years. And I was like ‘Surely I need to go on a break. That cannot be good for my body’ but then I also think ‘Do I really want irregular periods?’ It’s a hard one because obviously, you shouldn’t stay on birth control for such a long time. If any of you have been on birth control for years and years, I’d actually like to know about the experiences you have went through.
“But then I’m also like ‘Well, it’s not like I’m s****** anyone so I don’t know why I f****** bother!”
