She said: ‘I was 14 when I had my first relationship with a guy. I would say he was about 26.’
She added: ‘I don’t want to say that I suffered it, because I wanted it. I don’t want to say that I was forced to do it. I don’t want people to think I was abused as a kid but I was definitely more mature than I should have been at 14.’
Rita – who originally opened up to Lifetime TV in 2013 – explained further: ‘I can’t begin to tell you how confident I felt when a man was interested in me. I felt like I was sexy, I felt like I had a form of respect, I felt like he listened to me.
‘Now I know he listened to me because he obviously wanted to have sex with me. I felt good that men fancied me.’
The revelations could be found in her autobiography ‘Hot Right Now’, which the The Sun on Sunday published extracts from today, October 25, 2015.
‘Hot Right Now,’ named after Rita’s first single, documents her journey from a refugee in war-torn Kosovo to a world-renowned pop star.
