Rachael Taylor Battles Domestic Violence Stigmas: ‘I Am Not Ashamed’

Boss lady Rachael Taylor has opened up about the stigma of “shame” women can face from experiencing domestic violence, discussing that she instead feels proud to have made it out the “other side” after filing for an AVO against her then-fiancé Matthew Newton in 2010.
When a Daily Life reporter questioned Rachael about whether or not “addressing her experience of domestic violence” concerned her because “some people might use it as a stamp to define her” in a recent article, the Aussie actress replied, “I think you are talking about the perspective of surviving a violent relationship from a place of shame.”
Rachael continued “That’s part of that broader ‘shame’ stigma, and I am not ashamed. If it is stamped on me in any respect, that is something I am very proud of, because I am on the other side of it… “

The Jessica Jones star is also “very optimistic about change” in this area and hopeful that more women will be able to take action, explaining that she is “genuinely buoyed” by Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s announcement of a $100 million funding package towards ending domestic violence.
“There’s judicial reform that’s needed. We need to find a language around [the fact that only] half of the women who find themselves in intimate-partner violence feel they can report it,” she explained. “Only half. That’s not good enough.”
Rachael knows too well what it’s like to come forward after experiencing domestic violence, with press reports outlining claims of sustained physical, verbal and mental abuse, as well as death threats, during her time with Matthew. Five years after the incident was heavily publicised through the media, Rachael is using her profile to make a difference and show the world that there is a way out.
“People transform. Women transform, they are remarkable at it, and I don’t think any woman should feel marred by a moment in time that is very difficult to transition out of, but possible.”
If you or someone you know has experienced, or is at risk of, family and domestic violence and/or sexual assault, you can call 1800 RESPECT, a 24 hour National Sex Assault, Family & Domestic Violence Counselling Line.

Daniel Macpherson and Zoe Ventoura Are Married!
Aussie power duo Daniel Macpherson and Zoe Ventoura tied the knot in secret last week, announcing the news on social media overnight.
“Mr & Mrs…..Proud to say that Zoe and I were married last Thursday in a small celebration, surrounded by family, friends and lots of love. It’s been a beautiful few days. We couldn’t be happier,” Daniel wrote on Instagram last night with a happy photo from their special day.
The couple exchanged vows in Noosa, according to Sydney Confidential, where Daniel also proposed in January after meeting the love of his life on TV drama Wild Boys in 2011.
They currently split their time between LA and Sydney, with Daniel recently wrapping up production on home-grown film SFv1 and Zoe to appear in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dean Men Tell No Tales. It’s amazing that they found the time to get hitched with such busy schedules, right?
Congrats to the happy couple!

According to Google, our shopping habits are the equivalent of a Throwback Thursday post. Adidas Superstars, Levi’s jeans and bomber jackets are among the top items trending on the search engine, WWD reports. Google compared online retail trends from October 2014 to October of this year and discovered that we’re all trying to relive the 90s with our clothing purchases.

In fact, interest in bomber jackets, Levi’s jeans and Adidas Superstars doubled from that of last year because it’s obviously still 1993. Other popular items include adult onesies (thank you Katy Perry), toy drones, hoverboards, smart watches and smart TVs. Most surprisingly, there’s been an uptick in purchases of Polaroid cameras and Fujifilm Instax. Next thing you know, we’ll be buying cassette tapes and Walkmans again.

The Bachelorette’s Richie Strahan Makes His Runway Debut
Everyone’s favourite The Bachelorette contestant Richie Strahan has made his runway debut over the weekend, walking for Perth Fashion Festival’s Swim + Resort series at Bather’s Beach House in Freemantle yesterday.
Presented by Fashion Council WA, Richie showed off all eight of his rope access technician abs in Ocean Zone board shorts as part of Myer’s show. Now represented by major agency Chadwick models, it seems like cool banana Richie has found his calling.
If memory serves, Sam Frost landed a modelling contract right before she wound up as The Bachelorette. Hopefully history will repeat itself for this guy? Australia can only hope.
