JERRY HALL - HALL 'BEATEN' BY FATHER

HALL 'BEATEN' BY FATHER

Former model JERRY HALL has spoken for the first time about how her drug addict father left her with "broken bones".
The former partner of Sir Mick Jagger blames former U.S. Army sergeant John Hall for her violent childhood.
She recalls how her father would "burst into rages" when he returned to their modest Mesquite, Texas home.
She says, "He would talk to us like soldiers. He was very imaginative in his insults and that is hard to get over.
"I'm not trying to be vindictive but he certainly gave us a hard time.
"He was very violent. He had to drive explosive chemicals across the country and took uppers (chemical stimulants) and would come home and beat us five girls. He broke bones."
But Hall defends her father's actions, insisting his job as a truck driver drove him to become violent.
She adds, "He had a terrible upbringing and his father drank and his mother died when he was a baby - you try to understand why someone became so violent."
"Horrible things happened to my father. He had to release people from a prison of war camp and found 18,000 dead bodies. It is a terrible thing to be living in fear and he would abuse us verbally too."
