Sheryl Underwood made a shocking confession on TV. "The Talk" co-host was overwhelmed with emotions as she opened up about being raped. She revealed her dark past when the panel was discussing Kim Kardashian recalling being robbed at gunpoint in Paris.

"I looked at the footage with Kim and in her retelling the story, she looks traumatized. But for her to go through that process and try to think her way through it, I remember having a 'this is it' moment when I was raped," Underwood said. "I just kept thinking, 'This ain't it. I am not going to die today. I refuse to die today. It's not going down like this.' So the only thing I thought was: 'What do I do to survive?' "

So she mentally prepared herself to be sexually assaulted while trying to negotiate with the man. "I start talking to the guy and I said, 'Don't do this this way. Whatever you're going to do, finish what you're doing - don't kill me. And don't take my ID. They'll find you,' " she remembered. "I really want women to understand. Don't ever let anybody take your power away from you. Don't ever let anybody decide for you."
