Anna kendrick is digging deep and sharing her sorrows, as she details the emotional and psychological abuse she experienced in a past relationship.
Kendrick, 37, said she found herself in a situation where I loved and trusted this person more than she trusted herself.
“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,” Kendrick continued, declining to name her ex-boyfriend.
Kendrick claimed that her recovery from the relationship was one of the hardest things she’s experienced in her life.
Despite finding out that everything she “thought was going on was in fact going on,” Kendrick’s healing has still been quite challenging for her.
“My body still believes that it was my fault … even with this concrete jumping off point for me,” kendrick explained in the interview.
Kendrick was drawn to her upcoming film “Alice, Darling” because of the main character Alice’s similar experience with partner Simon, played by Charlie Carrick.
While other films about relationship abuse allowed Kendrick to minimize her own suffering, “Alice, Darling” felt all too familiar.
In fact, Kendrick’s rep sent her the script because it “spoke to” conversations they had shared about Kendrick’s ordeal.
“Filming the movie in 2021, however, wasn’t re-traumatizing for me,” Kendrick said. “even though it was a recent experience for me, I still had many, many months to prepare for the shoot. The project became very therapeutic and cathartic for me.”
Although Kendrick has kept her dating life private over the years, she was in a relationship with cinematographer Ben Richardson from 2014 to 2020 before moving on with “Saturday Night Live” alum Bill Hader.
News broke in June that she and the comedian, 44, had called it quits.
“Alice, Darling” premieres Sept. 11.
No woman should ever be subjected to any kind of abuse. Anna is such a beautiful young lady. I hope she finds a man who is worthy of her.
