Jada was speaking up for rape victims
Los Angeles:
Actress Jada Pinkett Smith has taken on the cause of sexual assault after a family incident.
People.com reported that Jada was speaking up for rape victims, a cause that hit close to home for the actress, who revealed her niece was recently drugged, though fortunately not assaulted.
The 42-year-old had first addressed the topic of sexual assault earlier this month after the hashtag #justiceforjada started trending following an incident in which a 16-year-old named Jada was drugged and raped.
"My niece was given a date rape drug that weekend. She's 20 years old - thank god nothing happened because she was with some responsible guys that took care of her," she said while at a panel for her upcoming TV series Gotham.
