Battiste told BuzzFeed News that she had a history of mental health issues and had also been a victim of a sexual assault. “I tried to kill myself and ended up in the hospital. I came home a changed person of course but not in a way that people would think,” she said.

“I was more hurt, but I found out I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, post traumatic stress disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. I think no matter what you go through, there is always a sunny day, even when it’s raining.”
