I behaved in horrible, almost unrecognizable to myself ways,“she said in a segmentof the interview that aired Tuesday. “I freely and openly and voluntarily talked about what I did. I talked about the horrible language. I talked about being pushed to the extent where I didn’t even know the difference between right and wrong.”
