The Django Unchained actress, 46, has been opening about her traumas ahead of the publication of her memoir Thicker than Water, in which she also tells for the first time how she had an abortion in her 20s.
Kerry has also said ahead of the release of her tell-all book she refuses to be "ashamed" by the termination she had when her career was taking off. She tells in her autobiography how she accidentally got pregnant just after shooting her role in the 2004 film She Hate Me - and says she gave doctors a false name at the time as she didn't want to harm her rising career.
But she told People about how her mind has since changed about terminations: "It's just so important to me that abortion is not a bad word, and that my abortion is not another thing on the list of things that I'm ashamed of."
