Anna Kendrick Opened Up About Being in an Abusive Relationship
Anna Kendrick revealed an abusive ex-boyfriend from her past.
While Kendrick kept the identity of her ex private, she admitted that she found the abusive relationship “difficult to identify” at first because "it didn't follow the traditional pattern."
"I was reading all the articles and going, 'Some of it looks like how they're describing it, but not completely,'" she recalled.
Kendrick touched on the abuse she felt at the hands of her ex after her performance in the 2022 psychological thriller, Alice, Darling, where she portrayed a woman pushed to the breaking point by her abusive boyfriend.

The actress explained in an interview that the movie “resonated” with her because she was "coming out of a personal experience with emotional abuse and psychological abuse."
"I was in a situation where I loved and trusted this person more than I trusted myself,” she described her former relationship to People in September 2022. “So when that person is telling you that you have a distorted sense of reality and that you are impossible and that all the stuff that you think is going on is not going on, your life gets really confusing really quickly."
