As DioGuardi's career was taking off in 2000, she claims to have had dinner with a music producer who later date raped her. The 40-year-old writes, ""Within a few hours, he was on top of me, pumping, sweating, and speaking to me in Spanish, not a word of which I could understand". She repeatedly told the producer to stop but didn't try to fight back because she was too scared he'd become violent. As well as claiming to be molested by a family friend when she was 11-years-old, DioGuardi also reveals that she was sexually harassed by a "hugely successful artist". The singer-songwriter was invited to a three day song-writing trip with the unnamed singer but states, "The trip's activities consisted of watching Russian porn, scavenging around the kitchen for food and leering at two strippers...as they performed sex acts in the living room".
Kara Dioguardi releases her highly anticipated memoir on 26th April 2011. Her new television show 'Platinum Hit' premieres on the Bravo network on 30th May 2011.
