On the heels of airing a controversial rape skit on his show which sought to criticize recent attempts by the Obama administration to fight on-campus sexual assault, conservative media personality Glenn Beck has come clean with his family’s own history of sex abuse.

Beck said that he was fed up of “being accused of standing with abusers and rapists” and “tired of being called a monster.”

“I’m tired of the lies of abusers. I’ve had my fill of it,” he said.

Beck tearfully told his audience that his family had experienced sexual abuse over multiple generations and that he had “worked hard in [his] personal life to stop the effects of this over the past 10 years.”

The radio show host explained that his own father, who passed away earlier this year, had been abused by Beck’s grandfather. After his father had run away, he fled to the YMCA where “he was repeatedly raped.” Prior to these actions, Beck explained that his father had also been sexually abused by a man for whom he had caddied and later, a church pastor.
