If you were a science nerd growing up you probably have seen at least one episode of Mythbusters. I have seen more than a few episodes myself and they are very interesting and educational.
Well, recently some extremely disturbing news has come to light about one of the co-hosts of the show.
Adam Savage has been accused of rape by his own sister. She said he raped her for years while they were growing up in the 70s.
Miranda Pacchiana claims that she was sexually abused by her brother from the time she was 7 until the time she was 10 years old. She even says that Adam would call himself the “raping blob” when committing the horrible acts.
According to The Sun,
FORMER MythBusters host Adam Savage allegedly raped his young sister for years — and is said to have called himself the “raping blob,” according to a new lawsuit.
Savage, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday that was reported by the New York Post, the television star’s sister claims Savage assaulted her when they lived in Sleepy Hollow, New York.
Miranda Pacchiana, 51, alleged that Savage abused her in the 1970s when she was between seven and 10 years old, and when he was between nine and 12 years old — which the television star has denied.
“Beginning in or about 1976 and continuing until approximately 1979, Adam Savage, would repeatedly rape Miranda Pacchiana and force oral sex upon her, and forced Miranda to perform oral sex on him, along with other forms of sexual abuse,” the lawsuit states.
Filed in Westchester Supreme Court, Pacchiana claims Savage, 52, would pretend the abuse was a game as a cover and gave himself the nickname the “raping blob.”
Per the Post, Pacchiana wrote on her blog that she lost her family after coming forward with her sexual abuse allegations.
“When I first disclosed to my family that my brother had abused me as a child, I thought my whole world would change,” she wrote.
“I assumed my family members would share my desire to examine what had gone wrong in our home and pursue a path toward healing together. I was sadly mistaken.”
This is a very serious claim and as a society, we really have no choice but to believe her at least until Savage can prove that it’s false.
