30-year-old American actress Evan Rachel Wood, who many know from work in the TV movie World of the Wild West, recently participated in a conference held in the US Judicial Committee. The movie star told how she was abused, constantly subjecting her to sexual and moral violence.
I was tortured physically and mentally
Those fans who follow the work of Wood know that in the autumn of 2017, the actress admitted that she had been repeatedly subjected to sexual violence. At a recent conference in the judicial committee, Evan again touched on this topic, starting her speech with these words:
"Many people know that I have been subjected to violence for quite some time. I was tortured physically and mentally. At first, I did not attach any importance to this, thinking that my boyfriend showed so much care and positive attitude towards me, but over time the situation became more acute. The longer we were together, the more I felt the pressure from him. He threatened me in the full sense of the word. Only now I understand that his love was always accompanied by violence. In our relations there were not only insults towards me, but also the use of brute force. He constantly connected me, not giving the opportunity to express my opinion on this matter. The torment and my suffering brought him incredible joy and pleasure. Pleas and tears that he released me released him into a state of euphoria. It could last for hours, until I stopped resisting. Only then he became not interested, and he untied me.However, it is not uncommon for our "games" to end with a simple linking. When he realized that my condition was not on the verge of despair, he began to beat me and insult me. Every time this happened, I thought I would die. The fact that my body does not belong to me, the "beloved" constantly reminded me. My boyfriend considered me his thing with which he can do anything. There were such moments that I wanted to escape, but every time I was held back by the thought that if he finds me, then I will not survive from bullying. "
After that, Wood remembered another episode, which was accompanied by violence:
"After these monstrous relations, about which I just said, I had one more that I can not remember without tears. It was violence, however, this time, the relationship ended right after wrongful acts directed towards me. The situation in the past helped me to cope with this problem, because the experience was already there. "

"After all these difficult episodes in my life, I began to understand that without psychological help I can not do. I had to go to the clinic, which helped me to recover emotionally. Without the help of doctors, I would have committed suicide, because the idea of this has haunted me for quite some time. Relations with people who used violence caused me a huge trauma, which could end very badly. "
