In her new memoir, In Pieces, Oscar winner Sally Field discusses being s-xually assaulted by her stepfather Jock Mahoney and her prior disastrous relationships for the first time.

Field claimed she kept silent about the abuse for so long because she “didn’t know I had a voice” in an interview with the New York Times ahead of the release of her memoir.

After divorcing Sally’s father Richard, her mother Margaret Field, married the stuntman and actor in 1952.

Field tells her mother that Mahoney assaulted her and invited her into his bedroom for s-xual sessions in the first chapter of the book.

According to the New York Times, she stated in her memoir, “I knew. I felt both a child, helpless, and not a child. Powerful. This was power. And I owned it. But I wanted to be a child — and yet.”

She was abused till she was fourteen years old. Mahoney’s mother divorced him in 1968. In 1989, he passed away. Sally didn’t tell her mother until 2011 about what had transpired. According to an interview with the New York Times, Margaret informed her that she would “no longer be alone in her pain.”

‘It would have been so much easier if I’d only felt one thing, if Jocko had been nothing but cruel and frightening,’ Sally writes in her book about her stepfather, nicknamed Jocko. ‘But he wasn’t. He could be magical, the Pied Piper with our family as his entranced followers.’

Field also mentioned two more incidences of abuse in Hollywood in the interview and in the book. She recounted waking up with actor Jimmy Webb “on top of me, grinding away to another melody” on one occasion.

According to the New York Times, Field does not believe Webb’s actions were “malicious.” Webb said that he and Field “dated and did what 22-year-olds did in the late 1960s — we hung out, we smoked pot, we had sex.”

The 71-year-old actress also recalls a meeting with director Bob Rafelson at an audition for her 1976 picture “Stay Hungry,” during which Rafelson allegedly told her that he “can’t hire anyone who doesn’t kiss good enough.” Field kissed him, as she was the “sole support for my family.”

The charges were refuted by Rafelson to the New York Times. Field’s statement was “totally untrue,” according to Rafelson, who added that he “didn’t make anybody kiss me in order to get any part.”

Sally’s book, which will be released on Tuesday, chronicles her award-winning career, which included three Emmys and two Oscars, one for the 1979 picture Norma Rae.

Field detailed her tumultuous connection with the late Burt Reynolds, who died last week, in other parts of her biography. In retrospect, she feels her relationships with Reynolds were an effort to reproduce a version of her abusive stepfather’s relationship.

Sally, 71, claimed she was “trying to make it work this time” by “exorcising something that needed to be exorcised.”

According to manager Erik Kritzer, Reynolds died on Thursday, Sept. 6, at the age of 82.
