I happened to be watching a 2005 repeat of an A & E Cold Case Files show titled "Déja vu:Secret in the well and the story of Chima's rape was discussed. Chima Bensen was interviewed by Cold Case and pictures of her badly swollen and beat up face were shown. The attacker murdered 5 other young women. Apparently during the attack, Chima bit the attacker on the penis and left a wound which would help convict the rapist and murderer. I have to admit, when I first heard Chima talk about the rape, I thought it was made up to gain the sympathy vote. This attack must have affected Chima which may explain her odd behavior in the house. I wonder if Big Brother producers were aware of her past and how she may react in a stressful situation. I hope Chima well and that she gets the help needed to deal with what happened to her.

The attacker murdered two other women. He raped five women. Yes, the producers were aware of her past. He had a psychological exam, as all BB contestants do. I wish her well, too.

Moe, I missed seeing that episode on Chima but have read alot of posts on it. I too hope Chima well and that she seek counseling. Do you know if there is a link to that episode online anywhere? I hate that I missed it and would like to see if there is site somewhere that has it.

Mollie...people posted that info for you yesterday when you asked. Someone posted a link. So if you can recall what time you asked, you can look in the archives for that link. If you want to search it for yourself, it's: Cold Case Files: Deja Vu

I missed it, too. Would love for the info to be posted on when it would be aired again. I really liked Chima, before the mess with Russell began. Guess I still had a lot of empathy for her even after that. I always said that Russell subcontiously used that against her to push her buttons. He knew it would push her over the edge. I hope he didn't do it on purpose, because that would have been disgusting for his game play. And I also think BB knew about her past, too. But we all know that it's not the well-being of the contestants that BB is concerned about; It's ratings and a successful season. Chima provided that, in her own way. Each of the HGs brought something different to the table, in a psychologially different and opposing way, which ultimately resulted in drama for TV. Wishing her all the best and hoping she goes on to do well in life.

Yeah Bee, I looked at that link but nothing came of it. A&E does not have it where you can watched missed episodes of cold case files. It has it on their regular shows but not cold case. I was checking to see if anyone else had a link. Thanks anyway

I did catch this the other night. Chilling, for sure. Chima's actions probably saved her own life and, ultimately many others when they were able to DNA match (progres in the technology for fingerprint matching also helped).

My cable company (Time Warner) provides a multitude of OD (On Demand) channels...A&E is one of them and recent episodes of Cold Case are available. If you have cable, check out your OD channels...you might get lucky!!! BTW... I taped the episode and watched. I realized I've seen it before...that must be why Chima's name seemed vaguely familiar...

Oh my, I remember when this was happening. I didn't realize that Chima was living in Texas at the time. This was big news in the DFW area.

My Gosh, I heard her tell the story and I too thought she was making it up for sympathy. It makes a whole lot of sense to me now why she won't back down and wants everyone to know she is a strong woman. She survived that attack, that makes her a very strong woman in my book. All the best to you Chima.

I cannot even imagine going through something like that. Talk about life changing! And yeah, I think it explains a lot. Chin UP, Chima! You really are a survivor in the game of life.

This is why BB should think before they cast the show every season. Chima obviously was in no condition to be confined in the BB house and play this game.

Please take that off. She doesn't need constant reminders of what happened to her and I don't need to see a pic to know and understand the depth of her pain, she spoke of this.

(She went on Cold Case knowing, she wants people to know what the monster did I would think. and she told the BB house all about it as well. it is the thread related to this subject)

We have removed the picture because it was of a sensitive nature. It is permissible to post a link to it on another site, but please warn that it is of a graphic nature so people know to avoid it if they wish.

Wow does that every say it all. There are so many reasons that Chima should have never been picked to do BB. To go through something like that really changes you forever and to be somewhere , where there is nothing but stress was not good for her, i think she is dealing with Post Traumatic Stress disorder as it is and being in BB would have just exacerbated it, poor girl, what a terrible thing to have happen. It does explain a lot of her behavior, i now blame BB for ever letting her on the show, they should have known better!!! SHAME SHAME ON BIG BROTHER!!
