Nobody is Protecting Me: Daughter of Vickie Guerrero Claims She was Sexually Assaulted by Vickie’s Husband
Trigger warning: The following story deals with instances of sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.
Sherilyn Guerrero, the daughter of Eddie and Vickie Guerrero, has recently come out to state that Vickie’s new husband, Kris Benson had sexually assaulted her.
That information comes from a TikTok that Sherilyn posted recently, in which she claims Benson assaulted her during a cruise.
“I didn’t want to make this because I’m so tired of crying,” Guerrero stated at the beginning of her video. “But I also feel like this is gonna help me not feel like I’m keeping this giant secret.”
Guerrero said that her family is well known which is why it’s taken her so long to come out with this story, because it makes them look bad.
“I have protected them for so long that I feel nobody is protecting me, so I need to start protecting me,” she said.
Then, Guerrero shared what happened.
“Come 2020, right before COVID, there was a cruise that my family went on and basically on this cruise, um, I got sexually assaulted,” Guerrero said. “And the unfortunate part is that it was my stepdad. Yeah, it was my stepdad.”
Guerrero dropped another bombshell as well.
“Was I the only one?” she rhetorically asked. “No, but that’s not my business to put their story out there. But it happened to me.”
Guerrero stated that after the event, COVID happened and the world shut down.
She said that she lived with Vickie and Benson throughout the pandemic, but she became “mute” and “numb.”
“I worked my ass off to get out of there and get my own apartment, which I got in September of 2020,” Guerrero shared. “That same year, I really did everything I could to not only protect my mom, but keep the peace and to just get on with my life.”
Guerrero said she injured her knee in 2021, and that Vickie was helping her after the injury.
“There was basically a conversation,” Guerrero said. “I have told my mom how uncomfortable I am with him after it happened. And basically, she was always telling me ‘It was a mistake; it’s not who he is.’ Just kind of like, ‘I’m sorry, that’s not my problem,’ type of deal. And I never really felt like she protected me.”
Guerrero said that her mother believed that Benson was supporting not only Vickie, but her as well.
“Moral of the story is, she thought ‘I owe this man everything. I owe him respect. I owe him all this stuff,” Guerrero shared. “Last time I checked, anybody that handles me like that, physically, doesn’t get my respect. And I really tried to tell my mom that but she took it as a way of disrespect to her and her relationship. And that meaning, she doesn’t want anything to do with me if I disrespect her relationship.”
Guerrero said that her mother has blocked her phone number.
“Like, I can’t even call my mom and she’s the closest family I know to me,” Guerrero said.
Guerrero also shared that her sister, Shaul Guerrero, has said that she didn’t want to be in the middle of the situation.
“I feel like it’s honestly affecting a lot of my relationships and I don’t want it to because that’s not me,” Guerrero said. “And I don’t want to have this anger anymore.”
Guerrero stated that family members haven’t wished her a happy birthday, or a Merry Christmas, nor have they tried to contact her when another family member passed away. She also stated that she has been in ‘fight or flight mode’ as she has tried to ‘protect them in their careers.’
“I am here with open arms and I know that my family has a lot of healing to do, as do I,”
she said. “But I actually have to start healing now, instead of waiting for them to come around.
Guerrero asked that people respect her journey and respect the video that she posted. She said she’s not trying to ‘bring anything’ to her family; these were just facts.
“I’m done being silent,” she stated. “I’m just saying my piece and I’m gonna continue what I keep doing, and building a life for myself because I have to support myself and provide for myself. I literally wish [my family] well. I miss them and I love them and I wish that we could talk and I hope one day we do…”
