Why Mary Bonnet Is Speaking Out About Sexual Assault in New Book (Exclusive)

“Selling Sunset” star Mary Bonnet talks to “Extra’s” Billy Bush about her new book “Selling Sunshine: Surviving Teenage Motherhood, Thriving in Luxury Real Estate and Finally Finding My Voice.” In the book, Mary candidly recalls some of the toughest and darkest moments of her life, including becoming a mother at age 16 to son Austin, who is now 27. But Mary says the most difficult subject to open up about was being raped. She explains why she felt it was so important to speak up about the trauma, how it still affects her, and her hope to help other women protect themselves. Mary also says she wants the book to inspire others to take negative situations and use them for good. “Selling Sunshine” is available September 24.
