My mom was r*ped at 11 years old and gave birth to him at 12: WWE’s Titus O’Neil
WWE’s Titus O’Neil got real about his decision to get a vasectomy and the pain behind it. He revealed his mom was r*ped at 11 years old and gave birth to him at 12.
Titus said once he learned the truth about how he came into the world, all the anger he had toward his mom turned into love because he realized she was just a kid trying to raise kids herself.
Thaddeus Bullard was born in a situation with many obstacles, but his mother’s courageous choice for Life has led him to a unique platform where he inspires people of all ages. Bullard, a former college football star, is better known as Titus O’Neil, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., (WWE) celebrity and superstar.
O’Neil and his mother, Daria Bullard, recently did an interview with WWE telling their amazing story.
Bullard chose Life for her son when she was just 11 years old. At age 10, she had moved from her grandparents’ home to live with her mother. Her mother’s boyfriend sexually abused Bullard, and while still a child herself, she sacrificed tremendously for her child. She said, “I was scared, of course.
I didn’t tell my grandparents. I was feeling more ashamed and embarrassed, like it was my fault that it happened… until years later, when I realized, people telling me it wasn’t my fault. I was just a child. And because I didn’t speak out, nothing was done about it.”
Overcoming tremendous adversity was far from easy. O’Neil did not have a father-figure in the home and was often in trouble as a young teen. “I used to get picked on a lot, because I didn’t have the best clothes, shoes weren’t always the greatest,” he said. “I used to wear broken glasses. My nickname was ‘Eyes.’ And so I used to either fight, or cause a disturbance, in order to try to keep from being the ‘not cool’ guy.”
After finding out about a program for troubled teens through a friend, Bullard made the difficult decision to send her son to the Florida Sheriff’s Boys Ranch, in Live Oak, Florida.
