(CNN) Marie Osmond had a few things to share during Monday's episode of "The Talk."

When the discussion turned to issues of sexuality the newest co-host on the CBS daytime talk show revealed that "When I was about 8 or 9 I actually thought I was gay."

"And the reason is because I had been sexually abused to the point that men made me sick," Osmond, 60, said. "I didn't trust them. I didn't like them."

It's not the first time Osmond has talked about the alleged abuse.
