She shared her story in Angela Bonavoglia's book, The Choices We Made, where she detailed the fear and stress she felt during that challenging time in her life, including the traumatic at-home abortion she endured.
"I found out I was pregnant when I was 14," she penned. "I didn't get a period.
“I talked to nobody. I panicked. I sat in hot baths. I drank these strange concoctions girls told me about - something like Johnny Walker Red with a little bit of Clorox, alcohol, baking soda - which probably saved my stomach - and some sort of cream.
“You mixed it all up. I got violently ill. At that moment I was more afraid of having to explain to anybody what was wrong than of going to the park with a hanger, which is what I did."
The View airs weekdays at 11am ET on ABC.
