She noted in an op-ed that a reporter once asked her if she "felt it was inappropriate for the camera to pan up and down [a women's] body," and she replied, "It felt like visual rape."
The 43-year-old "Charmed" alum received criticism for her remark and she has come to her own defense on Twitter, reported Aceshowbiz.
"Of the spirit, it's a metaphor. Jesus," she tweeted. "And I know what rape is. You might not. You don't know what it's like to be consumed by cameras as a woman & dissected for pleasure."
