This season of "The White Lotus" shocked viewers with it's inclusion of a sibling incest storyline. Diane Tarantini from @5wavesOrg came on TMZ Live to talk about what it was like watching those scenes from the perspective of a survivor.

Disbelieving and openly denying a disclosure of abuse is abuse. Children need support, guidance, empathy, resilience - and they need it from their family. We can and we must do more for children and survivors 💚 TheMamaBearEffect.org

Their decision to conduct this research was born from the absence of a universal definition of what constitutes harmful sexual experiences between siblings and a taboo surrounding sibling behaviors which lend to minimization and disbelief, which impedes research efforts.

Professionals from different countries & cultures collaborated on this project to achieve this. Finally, the data will aid in examining the long-term effects of SSA and help spread awareness of its prevalence and assess sustainable treatment and prevention tools.
