Two years after publicly revealing that she had survived a psychologically abusive relationship, Anna Kendrick continued on Wednesday to discuss her “terrible” ex-boyfriend, whom she had considered her “husband” in “every way.”
‘I didn’t expect him to be so convinced of his own victimhood. I think he really believed I was torturing him,” the 39-year-old Oscar nominee recalled Call her daddy.
‘I just cried because I couldn’t pretend that everything was going well anymore. I just started crying and he screamed in my face, “You’re terrorizing me!” But it really came from the position of someone who believed he was being terrorized.”
Anna continued, “It was very, very difficult to actually say, ‘No, this, I think this is, I think this is him. I think this is his stuff.’ I turned my life completely upside down and tried to solve what was wrong with me.’
During their relationship therapy sessions, Kendrick was jealous of her ex’s ability to stay calm while she “lost my dick” in front of their therapist, who later apologized to her.
