Anna Kendrick Expressed About Her Abusive Relationship
Anna Kendrick is discussing her experience of leaving a abusive relationship lasting seven years.
During the October 23rd episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Kendrick, 39, revealed that she struggled to recognize she was in an abusive relationship initially as it didn’t fit the usual pattern, although she didn’t mention the ex’s name.
“I was, like, reading all the articles and going, ‘This doesn’t look… like, some of it looks like how they’re describing it, but not completely,” she recalled, confirming that “the relationship was seven years.”
“It was like an overnight switch… that went on for about a year. So it didn’t follow that more traditional, like, it’s like a frog in boiling water thing where it started slow,” the Twilight star informed Cooper that the split occurred just before she began shooting her 2022 movie Alice, Darling, a film centered on emotional abuse.
Kendrick Believed She Was The Wrong One
“It came out of absolutely nowhere, but was built on this foundation of I had so much love and trust for that person, so I thought it had to be me,” Kendrick mentioned believing that she was the issue.
“Like, if one of us is crazy, it must be me. So it was very, very difficult to actually go, ‘No, I think this is him. I think this is his stuff,’ ” she continued. “I turned my life completely upside down trying to fix whatever was wrong with me.”
Therapy Sessions
The celebrity stated that they had a therapist for their relationship “just bought his stuff kind of hook, line, and sinker” for “a long period of time.”
“I’ve had several sessions with him in the last several years where he’s apologized to me because I think he realized what was going on, like, right toward the end,” Kendrick clarified that there was a change after she raised her voice during a therapy session.
Kendrick mentioned that she sent an email to her therapist to say sorry, but he phoned her and expressed how impressed he was with her for speaking up. “Things ended pretty quickly after that,” Kendrick admitted.
The actress from Trolls recounted a situation with her former partner to Cooper. “He told me one day I was terrorizing him because I was just crying because I couldn’t pretend that things were fine anymore, and I just started crying. And he screamed in my face, ‘You’re terrorizing me.’ But it was truly from the place of a person who believed that they were being terrorized.”
