The much-awaited 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' Season 9 is just around the corner. While we are busy binging on the trailer and catching sneak peeks, reality star Alexis Skyy revealed some major details about her storyline on the show. Skyy, who has appeared in two other 'Love & Hip Hop' franchises (New York and Hollywood) is no stranger to the drama on the show. But in the upcoming season, we see the singer stepping aside from the drama and using her platform to highlight an issue that is plaguing not just Atlanta, but the whole wide world.

The 25-year-old took to her Instagram and posted a small snippet from the upcoming show. The snippet reveals Skyy sitting in a panel discussion and describing her ordeal as a victim of human trafficking. She can be heard saying that she was threatened at gunpoint, and was sold to the "highest bidder". She posted a long message as the caption to the video, detailing how the upcoming season shows the reality star addressing this aspect of her life for the first time.

In her caption she wrote, "LHHATL this season is a really BIG season for me, for the first time EVER...in my life... I’m opening up about my traumatic human trafficking experience I went thru as a little girl...!!! l never in my life, planned on saying anything UNTIL one day, I mention part of it & SO SO SO MANY young girls reached out to me about them currently going thru the same thing & having similar stories!!! It’s so sad & so important you talk to, love, guide & caress your children!! 💔"


"Everyday I’m attacked, judged & accused of lying... all because, I’ve never spoken on my story before, but what nobody knows is, I still to this day haven’t told my mom, my grandmother or none of my immediate family!!! I been so afraid for many years to talk about any of it, specifically in fear of possible revenge, harassment & lord knows what else!! 😔 I was only 15 years old when I was kidnapped & forced into human trafficking by a guy 20 years older than me!! Every single day.. for 2 months... he would beat on me, threaten to kill me, my family & etc!!! Multiple times he held a loaded gun to my face, abused & raped me!! Also forcing me to have sexual intercourse who would pay!!! It’s so much shyt I’ve been thru as a young girl that nobody knows!!", added the star,

The star also explained how this will be the first time her family will hear about her harrowing experience, but didn't go into much detail because she wants everybody to watch it unfold on the show. "This season will be the first time my mother, dad & all my other family will hear about this!!! For so many years I didn’t know how to tell my family about this!! But after hearing so many stories similar to my own, I gotta be a role model to these young girls!! If it’s something I can say or do that will help or save some of these girls from making the mistakes I did & help bring awareness to the danger these girls face... I HAVE to face my fears!!! I was a very young girl who was taken advantage of & abused. Many nights I just knew the end was near... but by the grace of god I was saved & rescued from this man, from a guy I’ve never been able to see again or thank!! 🙏🏽😔 I don’t really wanna speak too much on it right now because I really want you all to tune into #LHHATL & get to understand me so much more! Understand my pain, my growth, & what I been thru... ❤️🙏🏽."
