She also touched on encounters with various women during that chapter of her life, giving viewers a window into an experience she said was not widely known to those around her at the time.

One of the more striking details she shared was that her mother had no knowledge of her involvement in the community.

She made clear she had kept that part of her personal life away from her family.

The timing of the video's reappearance has fuelled its spread.
