Jessica Alba: School bullies made my life hell

Fantastic Four actress says girl gangs forced her to toughen up

Jessica Alba says she was beaten up every day by classmates

Jessica Alba has spoken out about the school tyrants who targeted her as a child.

‘I was getting beaten up every day by different gangs of girls. At one point I had to be escorted to my classes,' she says.

The 27-year-old says the harassment escalated after she began her acting career.

‘When I went back to school after making my first film Camp Nowhere, suddenly my friends weren’t my friends any more,' she tells S Magazine.

'They started calling me names and saying I was after their boyfriends.’

But she was determined not to let the bullies hold her back. 'Looking back, I do think it made me tougher,' she says.

Jessica married producer Cash Warren, 29, in May, just 3 weeks before the birth of their daughter Honer. She's starring in The Love Guru, in cinemas on 1 August.
