Back in 2022, Kendrick played a woman stuck in an abusive relationship in the film “Alice, Darling.” She later told People that she felt the film “resonated” with her personal experience. The following year, she recalled feeling unsafe in her now-ex-partner’s presence during a raw episode of Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert.”
Anna described this partner as her “husband” for “all intents and purposes” and noted that they’d been together for six years.
“About six years in, about somewhere around there, I remember telling my brother, when things had first kind of gone down, ‘I’m living with a stranger. Like, I don’t know what’s happening,’” she recalled.
“It was so alarming, and it was so much easier for me to assume I was crazy or I was doing something wrong,” she said.
“I can’t bring up the fact that I’m scared of you because when I do, you get really scary,” she recalled thinking.
