“I was in a situation where I loved and trusted this person more than I trusted myself,” she said. “When that person is telling you that you have a distorted sense of reality… your life gets really confusing really quickly.”
Kendrick explained that the abuse didn’t follow a traditional pattern, which made it even harder to recognize.

She told People at the time: “I was coming out of a personal experience with emotional abuse and psychological abuse. Alice’s story really resonated.”
In 2020, while promoting her HBO Max series “Love Life“, Kendrick also reflected on how her past relationships had shaped her. Talking to The Sydney Morning Herald, Anna said: “Even though our relationships end, it doesn’t mean they are complete failures,” she said. “You grow, and they change you… and what you learn from them might be really positive or it might be negative.”
The actress has healed from past heartbreak and now embraces love again — this time on her terms.
