'Supergirl' star Melissa Benoist says in emotional Instagram she was victim of domestic abuse.
"In retrospect I see that each red flag followed a very clear path on the way to things becoming violent because violence is so often preceded by mental, emotional, verbal and psychological abuse, which are all very sneaky things," she said.
"The stark truth is, I learned what it felt like to be pinned down and slapped repeatedly, punched so hard the wind was knocked out of me, dragged by my hair across pavement, head-butted, pinched 'til my skin broke, shoved into a wall so hard the drywall broke, choked," she said. And in some"subconscious effort" to wash the both of them clean, she said after a violent attack the alleged abuser would carry her, put her in an empty bathtub and turn on the faucet before leaving the room. She said he would later return, kneel beside the tub"crying self hating tears" with her and apologize.
"This wasn't going to be easy to hide, let alone fix and something inside of me broke," she said."This was too far. This was too far. I couldn't flush this one down with the tug of the drain."
