#SHOWBIZ: 'Humans can be devils': Diana Danielle shares her traumatic experiences
According to Diana, 33, the worst incident occurred when she was 16.
A member of a production crew had offered to drive her home after filming.
"At that time, my mother was a single parent, so she was unable to accompany or pick me up from the set. A crew member offered to send me home," she said in a recent podcast.
"When we arrived at the gate, I wanted to get out, but he stopped me on the pretext of wanting to chat. Suddenly, he put his hand on my thigh.
"I kept saying, 'Don't touch me. If you want to talk, do it properly'," she recalled.
The 'Imaginur' actress added that despite her fear, she chose to fight back.
"It was scary because I was in a car; anything could happen. But I was angry, so he realised he couldn't go any further."
The mother of two also shared an earlier experience of being harassed by her stepfather's friend when she was just six years old.
"My stepfather's friend was very friendly. But there was one time he took advantage of me," she said.
"I froze, then ran out of the house. Since then, I've kept my distance from him."
The Best Actress winner at the 33rd Malaysian Film Festival (FFM33) explained that she kept these traumatic experiences a secret because she was too young to do anything about them.
"Until today, my mother doesn't know. I've kept this secret for too long," she revealed.
"Humans can be devils. Sometimes it's not outsiders; even family members can be sexual predators."
In the past, Diana has also received rape threats from an individual on social media while holding a question-and-answer session with fans on Instagram.
She exposed the threatening message by sharing it on her Instagram Story.

Judge Frank Caprio, viral for courtroom compassion, dies at 88
WASHINGTON: Frank Caprio, a United States judge who became an internet sensation for his compassion and courteous demeanour in court, has died at 88. His family announced the news on social media, describing his peaceful passing surrounded by loved ones. The retired Rhode Island judge served on the bench for nearly four decades before retiring in 2023. He became widely known for his lenient approach to minor infractions and sympathetic treatment of defendants. 'It is with profound sadness that I share the news that my father Judge Frank Caprio passed away today, peacefully surrounded by family and friends after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer,' his son David Caprio said in a video posted on the judge's Instagram account Wednesday. His family's statement celebrated him as 'beloved around the world for his deep compassion, humility, and unwavering faith in the goodness of people'. They also called him an 'example of humanity' whose legacy extends far beyond the courtroom. Caprio had posted a video on Tuesday from his hospital bed asking for prayers after suffering a health 'setback'. His courtroom reality television show 'Caught in Providence,' which began in 2000, featured his interactions with defendants facing traffic violations and parking tickets. Clips from the show garnered tens of millions of views on social media, often showing him dismissing fines for struggling families or asking children to help decide their parents' punishments. He drew millions of followers on social media, who dubbed him 'the nicest judge in the world'. Caprio also wrote an autobiography titled 'Compassion in the Court: Life-Changing Stories from America's Nicest Judge'. Born in 1936 and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Caprio had worked multiple jobs including shining shoes and delivering newspapers. He attended Suffolk University School of Law in Boston at night while working as a school teacher. Caprio eventually served as Providence's municipal court chief judge from 1985 to 2023. Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee praised Caprio as 'more than a jurist -- he was a symbol of empathy on the bench, showing us what is possible when justice is tempered with humanity'. The governor also ordered state flags to fly at half-staff in memory of the judge. 'He will be remembered not only as a respected judge, but as a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend,' his family said. – AFP
