Following his success on the hit show, he shared his family life story with Zurkuhlen in an interview. He said,
"I’m married and, just since this show’s come out, I have a certain lack of anonymity. I’m still coming to terms with [that] and figuring out how to move forward with all these components. I definitely don’t have it figured out. I’m just trying to stay on the boat."

"As a person who was sexually assaulted and abused at 14 by a 27-year-old, I applaud [Anthony Rapp] for his courage. It’s scary to speak out."
During an interview with Gay Times earlier in 2017, he explained his own sexual assault story when he was a teenager.
He said,
"When you’re 14, you think it’s totally fine. I didn’t wanna, when I bottomed for the first time, like, I was really young, and I didn’t quite know what that meant. I only had porn really."
'I was 14 and he was in his mid-20s, and I didn’t have the language to ask for what I might need or even say no in that kind of position.'
"It was a very scary thing. And I think for me at 14 I thought I could do anything and I was ready for anything… and I wasn’t, I was not ready for that."
The openly gay actor, however, didn't reveal who abused him.
