Supergirl actress reveals domestic violence


Melissa Benoist revealed in an Instagram video that she had been a victim of domestic violence and intimate partner violence (IPV). The 31-Year-Old actress never names her abuser but drops enough clues in the video that her fans have accused her first husband, Blake Jenner, of the abuse.

In the 14 minute video she lays out how the abuse started as mental, with him telling her to change clothes and would get upset if she even spoke to another guy, causing her to turn down parts if they had a romantic scene as to not make him upset, before becoming violent to the point he threw an iPhone at her hitting her in the eye which nearly caused her permanent damage to her sight. At the time she would blame it on being clumsy and even spoke about it the eye injury on the Tonight Show.

Along with telling her story, she gave information about where other victims of IPV can get help.

Soon after the post #IStandwithMelissa started trending on Twitter with fans and celebs offering their support along with some even telling their own stories.
