For the first time, the star, 65, is revealing that she was sexually abused at 11 years old

“I guess because I'm healing from it, it’s not so scary anymore,” Bertinelli tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. “I can say it out loud. I was sexually assaulted. It doesn't feel like it owns me anymore.” <<<
