Sherilyn Guerrero, daughter of Eddie and Vickie Guerrero, has claimed that she was sexually assaulted by her stepfather.
Speaking in a video posted on TikTok, Sherilyn said that the attack happened back in 2020 while on a cruise. She added that she “wasn’t the only one,” while alleging that her mother blocked her phone number after she opened up to her about the incident.
Sherilyn stated:
“There was basically a conversation. I have told my mom how uncomfortable I am with him after it happened. And basically, she was always telling me ‘It was a mistake; it’s not who he is.’ Just kind of like, ‘I’m sorry, that’s not my problem,’ type of deal. And I never really felt like she protected me.”
After discussing the emotional toll the breakdown of her relationship with her immediate family has taken, Sherilyn said that she was done being silent.
“I’m done being silent. I’m just saying my piece and I’m gonna continue what I keep doing, and building a life for myself because I have to support myself and provide for myself. I literally wish [my family] well. I miss them and I love them and I wish that we could talk and I hope one day we do…”
Neither Vickie Guerrero nor her husband Kris Benson has responded to the allegations.
Posting on social media, Sherilyn’s cousin Chavo Guerrero expressed his support.
“Just to let everyone know, I fully support my cousin, Sherilyn Guerrero, Eddie’s daughter & have been doing so privately in the last couple years of her struggles. She is a very strong woman for coming forward with the sexual assault she has suffered. I Love You Prima!”
@bbguerrerooo I have waited so long and tried my hardest to put it all behind me but its time i start MY healing journey. Im done being silent, its not helping my mental health. I could never fit this into 3 minutes anyways so i feel the fact im allowed 10 minutes, well its the best way i can sum up everything. Please respect my family & i want nothing but love for them…. I am done being silent though while they go on not worried about me, its time i worry about myself ❤️
