Watching the video is heart breaking. It appears she's talking about her ex husband, Blake Jenner. He should be in jail for what he did.
It is good she dares to speak out as hopefully it makes people listen. If it is Jenner - and the statements sure do point that way - it does put a lot of scenes in Glee and Supergirl in a much more painful perspective. The described behavior does appear there in hindsight.
I legitimately hope Chris Wood is a good person off-camera. They definitely seem to get along way better than she did with Jenner, so I hope that's not just screen chemistry.
If her ex leaked a sex tape of her then I hope she sues his him.
Chris Wood not being a good person would break me hard. He looks ways to nice on screen.
nah she mentioned in the video its someone who's younger than her. only other guy that would be is Blake Jenner.
the photographer is older than her.
and the eye injury happened during the time both her and Blake were married.
It's Blake Jenner they were dating right before she became supergirl
Fuck. I can't even begin to imagine what that must have been like for her. What an absolute nightmare.
Man, that video is rough. I really hope her current husband treats her with the love and respect she deserves.
Indeed. Fucking chilling. And she literally said the same thing on camera that the abuser told her as a "joke" at the hospital, after the incident ("like Squirt, from Finding Nemo.")

Not that it is important given the severity of this situation, but Glee is essentially unwatchable for me now. You've got one star that died of a drug OD, a pedophile that committed suicide, and (now) two people that physically abused their spouses. It's just horrific.
I watched this episode specifically for this segment. I remember chuckling.
I'm irritated now. Fuck this guy.
I honestly don't have the stomach to watch this right now. I did read the article and i'll say that it's so incredibly brave for any survivor to share their story. Thankfully she seems to be away from this monster and in a better place.
The amount of abuses she'd received is deeply upsetting.
At least she feels safe enough now to speak about it.
I know. Just independent of that, I hopeChris is someone she can really be happy with.
Indeed. So many shitty people starred on that show.
I hope he suffers.
I don't watch Supergirl, but Melissa seems like one of the nicest people you'd ever meet.
Depends on where they were living when it took place.
Statute of Limitations for domestic abuse in California is 1 year, in British Columbia its 2 years.
Saw the entire video and Wow, just wow.
I am glad that she survived, that she had an ensuing support structure and finally leveraged social media for one of the things it is good for- spreading awareness and speaking truth to power.
I don't know what the statute of limitation is on domestic physical abuse but that degenerate needs to be jailed or at the very least be absolutely ostracized from entertainment industry.

Blake Jenner always had a sociopath's creepy eyes to me. Like Terry O'Quinn in The Stepfather, except with a black hole of charisma.
Comments like this always come across as really ego-driven and even victim-blamey to me.
I thought that was part of the celebrity icloud hack. But it wouldn't surprise me if he persuaded Melissa to make one in the first place.
