So, Anna Kendrick hopped on the Call Her Daddy podcast and gave us the lowdown on her experience in an abusive relationship—because hey, even celebs have bad taste sometimes. The 39-year-old actress/director, who first hinted at this mess while promoting Alice, Darling (a movie that’s basically her emotional autobiography in film form), decided to open up about all the WTF moments from her time with Mr. Red Flag himself. And buckle up, because this wasn’t your average “he didn’t text back” drama.

Plot Twist: It Wasn’t the ‘Standard’ Abuse Playbook
According to Anna, the relationship didn’t follow the typical “gaslight, love-bomb, and repeat” formula, which left her more confused than trying to explain TikTok trends to your parents. “It didn’t follow the traditional pattern,” she said, as if abusive relationships usually come with a how-to guide. “I was finding it really difficult to identify it and name it as abusive.” You know, because nothing says romance like needing Google to diagnose your love life.

The Overnight Jekyll-and-Hyde Switch
One day, her partner decided to switch up his personality like Netflix switching up its recommendations. Anna went from thinking, “Is it me?” to “Oh no, it’s definitely him, right?” faster than you can say, “Couples therapy!” Naturally, she tried everything short of a séance to “fix herself.” Spoiler alert: the problem wasn’t Anna.

Even their therapist took one look at the relationship and initially went, “Yeah, seems normal.” But plot twist! Therapist McWrong later had to double back with an Oops, my bad apology after realizing the guy was pulling some serious Jedi mind tricks. “It was very, very difficult to actually go, ‘No, this, I think this is, I think this is him. I think, I think this is his stuff,’” Anna shared. Honestly, relatable—like when you’re halfway through blaming yourself for everything, then suddenly realize, Wait a minute… I’m not the drama!

Years of Emotional Acrobatics
Anna said she spent seven years trying to make things right—because what’s love without a touch of emotional gymnastics? She even admitted that her ex was so deep in victim mode, he probably thought Anna was on a personal mission to ruin his life.

“I think he genuinely believed that I was like, torturing him,” she explained. “He was convinced that he was the victim.” Ah yes, the classic I’m-suffering-so-much-because-you-won’t-let-me-treat-you-badly routine. It’s giving main character in his own soap opera vibes.

Even now, Anna admits she still finds herself grappling with why she stayed so long—because, let’s face it, love makes fools of us all. But at least now she’s able to share her story with humor, grace, and the tiniest hint of thank goodness that’s over.

So the next time you swipe right on someone questionable, just remember: If Anna Kendrick can survive seven years of relationship chaos and still belt out songs in a perfect pitch, you’ll be just fine.
