And you thought we had let a week go by without mentioning “The Real Housewives of Dallas” …

October wasn’t the first time we met Preston Hollow resident LeeAnne Locken, one of the show’s stars. She sat down with us in 2014 to discuss Twitter, “GCB” and her work with AIDS Services of Dallas.

During the interview, Locken opened up about her traumatic childhood and the physical abuse she suffered at the hands of an ex fiancé. Here’s an excerpt:

“I was hospitalized and almost killed. I learned that if we can overcome and survive, we should do something with our life,” she says.

She found the strength to endure hard times from watching her grandmother, who raised Locken. She says that her grandmother provided stability, serving as an example for how to treat others by constantly looking for ways to help.
