"I'm going to say it, from probably the only person on this table who has ever been through something like this, this is how it's done," she said. "You watch them, you break them down, and then you blame them for whatever you do as an adult..."

"This man, if this is true, was allowed to do this. And this community needs to take responsibility for him." Check out Underwood's full comment in the clip above.
