Janice Dickinson: My father beat me up

Model's dad made her feel worthless

Veteran supermodel Janice Dickinson has a brash exterior but the infamous motormouth disguises hidden vulnerability.

Her childhood in Florida was miserable because she had an abusive father.

Janice, 53, claims that her dad – who sexually abused her older sister – regularly beat her when she refused to comply with his demands.

And she still struggles to cope with the lingering effects, admitting to still feeling 'very angry'.

'It's the most catastrophic thing that can happen,' she tells Stella magazine, 'I don't think you can ever recover.'

But the reality TV queen got her ultimate revenge when she threw her dad's coronary medication out of the car window when he was having a heart attack.

Harsh but fair?
