CHRISTINA´S HAUNTING PAST Christina Aguilera has said she still suffers panic attacks after being beaten by her father when she was a child. The singer claims US Army sergeant Fausto Aguilera put her entire family through mental hell. She told US Weekly that her mother, Shelly Kearns, suffered the brunt of his temper when they lived together in Japan, where he was stationed. Ms Kearns, 42, said domestic violence was a regular occurrence and she was so terrified she once slept with the anti-attack spray Mace under her pillow. On one occasion she returned home to find four-year-old Christina with blood dripping from her mouth after being hit by her father. She finally left her husband and took her daughter, who was then aged five, to live with her maternal grandmother in Pittsburgh. Now aged 22, Christina said she is still coming to terms with what happened in her youth, and recently fled from her Hollywood home during a panic attack. "I ran out of the house and kept running down the street, kind of shivering. I didn´t want anybody to find me or see me." The double Grammy winner describes her experience with domestic violence in OK, a song on her latest album. Christina said her father, who has previously denied allegations of domestic abuse, had recently written her a letter apologising for his behaviour. Last Updated: 22:00 UK, Thursday January 23, 2003
