Naya Rivera Reveals Secret ‘Glee’ Abortion

Naya Rivera took a brave step in her upcoming memoir, ‘Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes and Growing Up,’ by revealing that she got an abortion in late 2010 during a day off of filming for ‘Glee.’

At the time, Naya, now 29, had split from her then-boyfriend Ryan Dorsey, who she married in 2014 and now has a baby boy by called Josey Dorsey. Naya decided not tell Ryan about the pregnancy at the time, instead choosing to focus on her career. She explained:

“It was very scary to open up about everything. It’s not something a lot of people talk about, but I think they should. I know some people might read it and say, ‘What the Hell?’ But I hope someone out there gets something out of it.”

However, Naya’s revelation led to her getting some negative comments, so she took to Twitter to respond:

I set out to write a book that was true to myself and would hopefully help others along the way. Media will always distort anything

The candid book also sees Naya open up about her battle with anorexia during her teens:

“By the time I was a sophomore, I started feeling that what had begun as a game had maybe gone too far. I just avoided food at all costs. If my mom had packed a lunch for me, I’d either trash it or find some excuse to give it away. I was so young and it just seemed to be the norm. Everyone was going through similar stuff. I had no way of knowing if I was going through it worse. I was juggling my feelings and it makes me sad that there are girls still going through that 15 years after I went through it.”
