Hollywood's 'Supergirl' star Melissa Benoist has survived domestic violence. At the same time, the 31-year-old actor posted a video on Instagram in which he detailed his program lasting several months. In the video, she revealed that a former partner - whom she did not name - abused her both physically and emotionally for the duration of their relationship.   

She says that "I am a survivor of domestic violence, or 'IPV' (intimate partner violence) which is something like Is what I had never done in my life, I hope that I will broadcast in the sky alone. " 

She said, "He was a magnanimous person, who didn't really give you a choice not to be drawn to him. He could be charming, funny, manipulative, devious. He was younger than me, his maturity obvious. For a period of time, I wasn't interested. I was newly single, gaining my bearing in a change in my life.She added: 'None of that registered as abuse, because I was worried about how he felt at that point, to even comprehend how it even affected me. In retrospect, I see that each red flag followed a very clear path on things becoming violent.'"

She further 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 until my skin broke, shoved into a wall so hard the drywall broke, choked. I learned to lock myself in rooms but quickly stopped because the door was inevitably broken down. I learned to not value any of my property - replaceable and irreplaceable. I learned not to value myself."
