Al Franken accuser passionately describes what she's gone through since going public with groping allegations In an emotional interview on CNN on Thursday afternoon, Los Angeles TV and radio host Leeann Tweeden said that coming forward with her allegation that Sen. Al Franken kissed and groped her without her consent was painful, but necessary in order to help "change the culture."

"I've been angry about it, Jake, for over 10 years," Tweeden told CNN's Jake Tapper of the alleged assault. "To this day I talk about it and my hand clenches into a fist."

Tweeden wrote in a 790 KABC column that Franken kissed and groped her without consent in 2006, when the pair were on tour abroad performing for military service members. She alleged that Franken aggressively kissed her, forcing his tongue into her mouth during a rehearsal for a comedy skit.

On their flight back to the US, Franken was photographed grabbing at Tweeden's breasts while she was asleep — an act Tweeden discovered afterwards when she saw the photo.

Tweeden said she hopes that her allegations will encourage others to come forward with their own experiences — and set an example for children.
"You want to set examples and you want the world to be better for your kids. You want to leave it better than what you had it," she said, adding that she might be doing so by speaking out. 

"I don't want anything, I didn't come out for it to destroy anybody. I came out because if he did this to somebody else or if somebody else has been sexually assaulted or if they've been abused in any way, that maybe somebody else can come out in real time because they find strength in numbers." 

Tweeden added that societal norms around sexual misconduct and abuse will only change when perpetrators — even unknowing ones — recognize and change their behavior. 

"I think it's going to come from people who maybe do the abusing that don't even realize they're doing the abusing because it's so a part of the culture," she said. 

She said that it was hard to make her experience with Franken public and that there will still be those who lay the blame for her victimization on her. 
"It's embarrassing," she said. "It's embarrassing, it's humiliating, there are still people — I've looked on Twitter — who are still blaming me for it ... that's why women don't come out."  read more
