Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah was on the verge of a nervous breakdown after
her boyfriend was accused of raping her sister.
The 23-year-old singer suffered panic attacks and lived "like a hermit"
after being forced to choose sides between her sister Samiya and boyfriend
Freddie Fuller.
She told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I feel like I have had a nervous
breakdown. Sometimes I'd have panic attacks. I physically and mentally
couldn't handle it. Being a Sugababe is the thing I've always wanted and I
felt my own sister was trying to screw it up for me.
"I thought, 'My boyfriend has raped my sister' and 'is the person I've loved
this whole, entire time lying to me and is a sick weirdo?' "
Freddie's rape charges were later dropped after it was proved he was five
miles away on the phone to Amelle when the alleged incident took place in
January 2007.
