Please ignore the hate comments, they obviously don't know the first thing about what it takes to edit a video and upload to YT. Good job, keep doing what you're doing, you will get better as time goes on. Love and luck to you! xo
I saw a message saying to ignore the hate comments but don’t ignore the comments about the editing. Honestly when an IPV survivor is speaking her story she needs to be seen, heard, and acknowledged. The editing covers her face and brings attention to him. Just small things like that can hurt the psyche of a survivor. I genuinely want to hear her story but the pictures are tasteless.
@@vanessaaltamirano2593 i see where you're coming from, but there's a full version of Melissa speaking out on youtube without the editing involved. i hope that helps
I had no idea about the baby, I am so happy for them. You know when you see people on tv and ship them. That was Melissa and Chris for me, everyone deserves to be happy, especially them.
let's all remember that this isn't about Chris. he's great, but Melissa Benoist pulled herself out of that hell, not anyone else, and she's so strong and inspiring.
@ANTHONY THOMAS Yo, read the room. Nobody should be shitting on women to make others look better--period, let alone in the comments section of a video discussing Melissa's abusive relationship.
Glee stars just hit different .. Cory Monteith death , Mark Salling suicide , and Naya Rivera death , Blake Jenner abuse and Lea Michelle allegations ... what a cast
Blake Jenner is a Felon. He just got very lucky and was not charged. People are doing long jail sentences for doing what Blake did to Melissa. His chance at any public career is over. I can not imagine anyone that would want to see this guy act or sing at this point.
Ugh. That sums up the conclusion my super verbally abusive ex. He used to love to come home, and find some reason to scream im my face. It could have been something as batsh!t as him not liking how many leaves fell off the tree in the front yard. Some "men" are just sad excuses..
its ridiculous because at first he couldnt be prosecuted because there was little evidence it was even him, and there was no proof it happened, and after he posted that it was actually him, he made it seem like a 2-way fight, rather than a case of 1-sided abuse, which everyone knows it was. I don't blame the justice system, after that tweet "admitting guilt" (even though he blamed her multiple times during the tweet), it's hard to charge him with anything criminal
Melissa and Grant Gustin are doing pretty good now though, same with Darren Criss and Chris Colfer!!! 3 of them are actors are with the cw, maybe switching to that channel saves careers lol
@@sapphiremelendez3741 sry to tell you... But she has actually been slammed and smeared online the past few days for behavior to other cast members in different jobs she has had. Look it up.
Sometime people dont realize how hard it is to get out of relationships like that, getting out is something to be really proud of. You must be incredibly strong!
Same with me. Just got out of it and I feel extremely sad yet relieved. Wish things could’ve been different but I understand I couldn’t help him or keep putting myself in danger. I’m proud of you and this post gave me so much strength. Thank you.
In an interview a while ago she said Blake said she looked like squirt from finding nemo after "she fell and hit her face" and In this video she said her abuser said she looks like squirt from finding nemo... So... its pretty clear who it was.
Also, since she published this video, Blake disappeared from the net, his last post on both instagram and twitter were made in November 22, and she posted this video on November 27.
@@beautyandfashion6936 Jimmy Kimmel if I remember correctly, he brought one how clumsy she was and she told the made up story. And knowing how this works the producers ask the guest what subjects they want to talk about and if they have a story to share and since she said Bl%ake controlled a lot of her work he probably pushed her to tell that story, that way if she ever brought out accusations about him he had this interview where she basically tells how her accident *happened* (allegedly, that's my opinion anyway)
I saw the video last night and I'm reeling. I had no idea something like that happened to Melissa. I just started watching Supergirl. Domestic abuse is a nightmare.
This is so sad and should be a lesson for everyone to not fantasize a version of celebrities just because of the character they are playing on screen. I remember shipping both Marley and Rider when I was younger, hoping they would be together but not realizing what was truly happening when cameras were off. I hope she heals from this trauma as this will only make her stronger and Learn to trust again as she is well worth it. I hope the next one will treat 100x better and shows her how a woman should be properly treated.
I have done some extensive research into their relationship, and there is no doubt in my mind that Blake Jenner was Melissa’s abuser. Age difference, projects they were working on, social media post, circumstances, etc. I have put together the timeline of their relationship together, projects she subtly references and the injuries she suffered. Everything lines up perfectly. On top of all the evidence, the biggest clue is maybe the least obvious. If Blake was not the man Melissa is referring to in this video, wouldn’t she have cleared his name by now? After all the backlash, reticule, hate, and overall extremely negative attention Blake has received since the release of this video. If he were innocent, no matter the circumstances of their breakup, Melissa would have spoken up. Their actions since this videos release are what really convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt. He hasn’t been active on social media since November, his comments have been censored, and he has made no official statement in an effort to defend himself, because he knows he has no defense. He took Melissa, this beautifully inspiring bright light of a human being, and nearly extinguished her. He PERMANENTLY injured her, mentally and physically. He tried to hinder her successes because of his own petty insecurities. I could go on and on about how horrible this situation was, but if I’m being completely honest, Melissa’s story is one of the happy ones. She got out, found true happiness with Chris, and is soon to be a mother (which she no doubt will be fantastic at). But a lot of women, and even some men, do not have that luxury and we need to talk about this more. From March 2018 to March 2019, there were 1.32 million domestic abuse related incidents reported to the police. And each year more than 30,000 people die due to domestic abuse, 70% of these victims being women. We need to be mindful and careful of those around us, because you never know who’s suffering behind closed doors. #IstandwithMelissa
This are the kind of comments that actually matter, not the ones saying she truly surffered not like (insert the name of the woman you want), and you're right about everything, she is super brave!
It’s 100% Blake. Who else would it be? And she dressed different then, more conservative, she was more serious around him and they were constantly joined at the hip. And I can’t even watch that fox lounge clip, it’s too creepy...
Luminatrix FanFiction I- 😂😂💀💀 it is not another Johnny and Amber situation. That picture in 1:54 it’s from the movie Billy Boy, they were both in that movie and it was after a fight scene with a guy that he had on the movie
Luminatrix FanFiction are you serious... don’t try to find a way around this or make it look like melissa was abusive too. that’s so cold. this isn’t a johnny and amber situation. this woman has injuries that will last a whole lifetime. she was honest and open and if you do some research on this there’s literal proof of what happened to her, including an interview in which she tells the story they came up with to save his ass about her falling on a potted plant.
@@luminatrixfanfiction You're absolutely ridiculous. Melissa never abused anyone, and no one has ever claimed to be abused by her. You don't think if she was the one abusing Blake that he wouldn't claim it??? There is evidence of her suffering from abuse, including her messed up eye. Stop blaming the victim. The fact you're trying to defend Blake the abuser is disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.
I think saying it's insensitive is a stretch. This person clearly didn't have that intention otherwise they wouldn't even upload a video about this at all
Some of the pic are just pics from supergirl when she’s talking about the abuse that does nothing to corroborate the abuse, which seems like a distraction from her words. Just bc you didn’t have the intention to be insensitive doesn’t mean that someone doesn’t come off insensitive, most of the time insensitivity occurs bc of lack of thoughtful intentions. It’s insensitive, you could’ve just shared her story without the extraness
She is honestly Supergirl in real life for having to go through this and then speaking up about it. I am so happy that she has Chris now and they are expecting a little baby boy in a few months.
But what about the others? She wasn’t the only one she’s just famous enough to have this audience. It doesn’t make HER a Supergirl it’s everyone else too.
@@noxoir3350 I understand that other people are going through this, but this video was made about her and so I don't feel the need to bring up other people because this was her story.
Oh my god, I didn’t even notice that! He played Cat Grant’s son and her love interest. Season 1’s release date was in 2015-2016, the same time they were together.
I hate this video. Not because she’s speaking out . But because while she’s doing so they kept playing videos and pictures over her.... like put it on the side if anything. Stop covering her face
Even though his character on glee was supposed to be the “nice guy”. I got a sinister and violent vibe from him. I saw the Jimmy Fallon interview where she made the potted plant excuse, I knew then. Her posture became stiff, her eyes had fear in them, she was fidgeting her seat, and when she told her excuse her eyes shifted to the right. I am so proud of her for speaking out. I am happy that she found someone who can cherish her for the treasure of a human being that she is.
I can't image the courage it took for Melissa to come forth, publicly. By doing so, like Kara and supergirl, Melissa gives hope and courage to others that are in abusive relationships. She is not only a beautiful person on the outside but also on the inside. Like her character, enduring mental and physical pain, yet maintaining a caring and positive attitude. YOU GO GIRL!!!
sheila hanindra omg yes I thought the same. And after hearing this story, gosh I cant believe it :( I loved them ever since Glee. But now I hope she now found her peace and herself with Chris 💕
The ironic thing is that her ex husband plays the nice guy in movies....but her current husband portrays the psychotic, violent, abusive behavior in TVD and Legacies that her ex husband portrays in real life.
No we don't need to talk about that. And we shouldnt . She is literally describing domestic abuse that she went through and survived . Can we for once rise above how pretty or not women are? Its so reductive.
It’s totally Blake... if you look up the time that they were together and the time she told the lie about the phone incident to jimmy fallon on the tonight show from 2016 you’ll see that it’s definitely Blake. Also if you go on his social media you’ll see he hasn’t been active since early 2019. (Which already speaks VOLUMES) but I’m really sad she had to go through this and I’m so glad she is with her new man Chris to this day in 2020. We love Melissa ❤️
I remember they got married and divorced so quickly and I always wondered why! That's probably why they both didn't return to Glee either. I am so happy she got out and has a loving partner
Buzzkill 78 Hex threw a cellphone at her face. Busted her iris. They made up a story that she fell and busted her face on a plant. She told the story on one of the Jimmy shows
When I watch supergirl, Kara’s and Mon-el’s relationship seems so real, and authentic. I am proud of Melissa, she fought a mental and physical battle, that she shouldn’t have fought alone, or even at all. She is now safe with Chris, and her baby.
My mom went through abuse. She had a phone thrown at her face and her eye swelled up. She now has a scar above her eyebrow that will be there forever. I love that she is speaking out. It helps people.💕💕🥰
Last winter when this news first came out, I went to see a play in New York (Cyrano) - with Jasmine Cephas Jones, Peter Dinklage, and -- to my horror - Blake Jenner. An audience full of Game of Thrones and Hamilton fans had no idea, and I was shocked they let him go on that night. Small production, maybe no understudies? Anyway, it absolutely matters who it is, because he financially benefits from people NOT knowing, and he enjoys privilege as a public figure that shields him from accountability as long as we don't know. I was on the front row of a packed mid-size off broadway theater, and remember staring into his face and realizing, he's relieved I'm clearly the only one who was aware of the allegations. He does not deserve relief. Social pressure and shaming is the only thing that works with people who rely on public affection. It matters who it is. And our rejection of him matters too.
I'd like to point something out that many might miss. She said she was choked. In DV we say strangled. He strangled her. 90% (a real statistic not an exaggeration) of abusers who strangle their victims end up murdering them. Those who strangle are killers. Period. She is lucky to be alive and he deserves to be in prison for attempted murder. Her life will be permanently changed and the damage to her long term health will never be recovered. I'm glad she is out but the abuse doesn't stop just because they left. The memories and the effects of the physical abuse last a lifetime.
Blake is a monster and an abuser. He was with a lovely and sweet girl and he was awful with her. Im happy that she could get away from this toxic relationshop and now she's looks happy with her husband and i can't wish for her enough good things for futur born. She's a strong and beautiful woman and nobody deserves that.
there is not enough proof to accuse him of being a abuser let say there was a 100% chance that it wasn't him how do you think he would feel that he is getting accused of being a abuser
Yeah, if you talk, your family can turn against you like mine did. I talked about how my brother beat the shiz out of me and none of my family give a crap... I had to move to the other side of the world just to be able to breath...
Sometimes when you are in something like this, you don't realize the extent of it until the pain is too much to just ignore. If he hits me, but I'm ok then it didn't happen. If he punches me but there are no bruises, then we are fine. It's hard to admit that the person you love more than you probably love yourself, is toxic. Proud of her for taking a stand and getting the heck away from him!
Sadly, liars like Amber Heard make it harder now for women to be believed. We love you, Melissa!!! You are our Supergirl! We believe you!!! I’m so glad you and the actor who plays Mon El found each other! Can’t wait for you to be a beautiful mama!
@@zeynepdoogaan i'm just going off the top of my head, but she said that Johnny Depp abused her, but then she admitted that she lied and there was evidence that she was the one abusing him. There is so much more. Just look up Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. There's a lot of information out there.
Aidan Nicole yea then it turns out he was the one being abused there’s a clip where a kid ask what happened to his finger and he makes something up but later said it was done by Amber
She stayed because she came from a broken home and didn't want to fail like that, too. I felt that! I did the same, plus I had kids I didn't want to put through divorce! My abuse was emotional, not physical... the scars it leaves aren't visible to others and it's hard to get them to believe that he's threatened your pets, hid guns in the house, tried to get you fired from your job, destroyed your credit, stolen your mail, etc...So on top of everything, I had external pressure to stay with him. All I can say is, be kind; you never know what someone's going through.
She grew so much now she’s married to a man that really loves and treasures her and is now bringing a baby into this world I’m so proud and happy for her
She really is Supergirl, fighting for what she believes is right, being so brave and strong. You are worthy of not putting up with this real supervillain. Your Worthy
I always thought it was so weird how in s5 of glee they suddenly made jacob(?) pucks brother, a cheater again even after their season long arc. For her character to go back to Blake’s character. Idk if I’m reaching but it never made sense to me, especially after they made the new kids leave after s5 after all the hype that surrounded them.
This is so devastating so paining to see her that what's she's been through !! She seems so sweet so so nice ! How someone can do such things to the person like her !!
I cried the entire time I watched this video. I relate so deeply to her story because just 5 months ago this was my life. My ex isolated me and hurt me making me believe it was all me, it was my fault and I was horrible and untrustworthy. I feel better knowing that someone I look up to is healing and working through the same thing. I feel for her and send her all my love because I know how hard it is to heal from something so awful and traumatizing.
I watched Glee from the very first episode right till the very end. It's heartbreaking to see and know that she's gone through this. Hearing how her voice shook as she talked about her abuse was saddening. But also, hearing how calm and confident she sounded right after she finished her story towards the end shows how happy and comfortable she is right now. Traumatic experiences will not heal easily but I'm glad that she's making positive progress! My heart goes out to Melissa. She's a really talented actress. 💛💛💛
That's so sad, especially cause he came in as her love interest on supergirl for a an episode or two. They made her act with him again and I can't imagine what it was like to have to pretend to love her abuser just for a show.
But they were still married at the time. And i doubt the producers knew anything about it at the time. I also think that she either asked for him to be play the role or he asked if he could. Backnin season 1, noone knew this thing happened, so they didnt make her act with him, they probably just didnt know.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be able to watch those episodes again. I bet he asked to be on the show and that’s so infuriating. Also, during the interview Melissa gave ok jimmy fallon where she talks about her eye injury, she mentions the “accident” happened the day after she got the part of supergirl, which makes me wonder if that was the reason they were arguing when he threw the f*cking phone at her face
I am so proud of her! 😘 She did such an amazing job and she showed so much strength and courage when she accepted the support of friends and family when she left him. On a personal note, I didn't experience physical abuse, but rather emotional and mental abuse. He also physically and emotionally raped me. (Emotional rape is a real thing.) 😉 I remember that the first time I told anyone about my experience, I was terrified! I still don't feel 100% comfortable, but I get a little better every time I tell it. In case you read this, Melissa, I will be praying for you. Keep being amazing! I am an avid Supergirl fan!
She is way braver the I. This gives me hope. I see my story in hers. Down to the letter except one big obstacle, we have 2 kids. I’m isolated and have nothing of my own(money, car, real job) it’s another way to keep you stuck and dependent on them. They are so insecure and afraid that you will smarten up, get stronger, and say ENOUGH AND LEAVE. They love you most when you have one foot out the door. Mine just threw coffee on me (and $2,000 worth of recording equipment he bought with OUR $$). I was more worried about the equipment because I knew that I could make him care more about that then me. It’s a vicious cycle but mine doesn’t even apologize anymore for the abuse and cheating. 12 years in and he knows how stuck I am even though he knows I don’t want to be with him, I don’t love him, and I in fact hate him. I have told him I can not stand to even be around him. He cares more about keeping and controlling me and our kids then if I love him or if the kids are happy. When we fight and I stand up for myself he puts on his father of the year hat when he really does nothing for anyone not even his kids. It’s a sorry excuse for a life and one day I will get out with my kids and be happy. Her strength is a beacon to others who suffer the same abuse. It turns helplessness into hopefulness.
OMG they been together since Glee I didn’t know. And what’s worse he abuse her, how dare he I really thought he was a good guy, boy was a Wrong. #Shame on Him
I remembered on the Glee Project he kept talking about his girlfriend then when he got the job on Glee, he right away went with Melissa, that's when I already felt he was off
I remember shipping them back on Glee and so happy when they got married, its so awful that he turned out to be such an asshole. I'm glad she's happy with Chris now and she survived the endeavor.
i'm so proud of her. she pulled herself out of that hell hole she was in , found someone who truly truly loves her and having a baby. she deserves the world , and the fact that she shared this, having hard to live through this again, is tremendous.
This is the part I dont understand. I was on the receiving end, not so much physical, more mental. It started when I was a little boy and never stopped. So when I see people being hurt I want to help not hurt them. But Im glad you got out and life is better for you and yours
My heart truly hurts for you, Mike. I experienced about 4 years of mental, emotional, and sexual abuse. Just about an entire life of it...I can't imagine! People who abuse at all deserve so much worse! I just wanted to let you know that you have someone who is thinking about you and praying for you! Take care!
It comes out differently for different people. There are a variety of factos that play a role in becoming abusive, you can have two siblings who grew up in the same home with the same parent and one continues that cycle of abuse and one breaks it, the hope is both break it, but that is sadly not always the case.
Oh I feel for this girl. My abusive relationship wasn’t nearly as horrific as this, and nearly a year later I’m still having nightmares about it. I can’t imagine how scary and difficult this has and will continue to be for her. 💔
She captured exactly what it feels like to be in a relationship like that. The drainage, thought process, the excuses and so much more. I’m so happy she spoke up ❤️ this was very encouraging
I have been though something like this and it makes me emotional how she had to put on a front. I am so proud of you and I pray that if anyone is going for this you are worth it, you will make it. stay strong #istandwithmellisa💔💜💪🙏🏻
It's almost two years now since Melissa opened up and I constantly find myself coming back and while still getting emotional feeling very proud of how strong she is and how she managed to move on. Look at her now, she's married to a much better person, has a kid, has brought life to a beloved superhero, has progressed from actress to director, has been on Broadway, and has even started her own production company. She's such a sweetheart too, beautiful inside and out, and a true inspiration to all. We love you Melissa, never ever forget that. I want that man to be removed from production of Merrily We Roll Along. It's going to take 20 years to film, it's not too late to recast the role. And after that I want him locked up for the emotional and physical harm he caused this beautiful woman. He can twist the tale all he wants, but it won't take away the severe damage he did. IStandWithMelissa
Blake Jenner came out and confirmed that he was the abuser and “apologized.” I have that in quotes because it was barely an apology. He eventually tried to victimize himself. And regardless, apology or not, it would never make up for the years of abuse she endured and it will never make up for the healing she will have to go through and live with for the rest of her life. He left a scar on her, physically, emotionally, and mentally, that she will never be able to get rid of. It’s absolutely disgusting that people like that actually exist, but it’s even more sickening that they get away with it. So much more respect to Melissa. I’m glad she shared her story, it’s a brave thing to do, and I hope more people will have the same courage to come out and share theirs, but if not, I hope they’re aware that they’re not alone in this and that everything will be okay.🤍
I am so glad that she survived it and that she’s now living a life with someone who, I’m assuming, genuinely loves her. I hope she and her husband are truly happy. She deserves it.
I appreciate her bravery,she is right she built up quiet strength while being in abusive relationship and I hope many ,many other women listen to her message!
This is so hard to listen to i literally just want to hug her right now 😭💔 so glad she's with Chris and Happy and loved and being in a healthy relationship
Me and my abusive boyfriend were the "perfect college relationship" even the dean of our major knew we were dating. Is really scary how they can manipulate you to even cover up their abuse
@@xVadRay I used to think that you can easily see if someone is abusive and if someone is abuse if you pay attention. Now I see with horror that abuse can be so subtle and also more frequent than i thought. I am truly sorry for you. are you still with him ? (Sorry for my english)
It makes me smile and cry at the same time because she survived and has now found Chris who is perfect for her. And there having a baby!! She is a real life supergirl and she is so strong. She truly deserves someone like Chris.
My ex husband hit me, a lot. This kinda gave me ptsd but also realization that it’s ok to walk away. I’m so sorry what happened to you, and I am glad you are safe now❤️
The way she describes how he would run her a bath and never justify his actions but come to her with self hatred for his actions is exactly what I went through. The way she explains how she justified his actions is exactly what I did with my ex boyfriend... I thought my love and willingness to love him despite his demons in his mind would show him how to love himself. I never thought I could heal his demons but that I could show him what that life could be like and I could be someone to help bring him out of his darkness. It’s so heartbreaking to hear her story because nobody expects someone that you love and loves you to hurt you in the worst ways. Such a strong woman I have so much respect🤍
I remember watching this video on Instagram when she first spoke about it. The suspicion both broke my heart for Melissa and angered me as a former fan of Blake. I am so proud of Melissa for being as strong as she is to push through and tell her story.
I just have a theory. In Supergirl during her fight with Reign the visual techniques were an awful lot like how she had described some of her abuse. She said she was dragged by her hair which happened in the fight, bruises on her eye, broke pavements/wall. I don't know if I'm just thinking to deep or not but there are some similarities.
It's almost eerie how similar people's stories about abusive relationships are. As a person who's gone through the same hell, I feel really thankful that she shared hers.
SORRY!!!
To everyone complaining about how I edited the video. I would change it but I already posted it.
It's atrocious

I’m very glad you got through that. I can’t imagine how difficult that must have been. ❤️
Yeah I’m really happy their together..
Sometime people dont realize how hard it is to get out of relationships like that, getting out is something to be really proud of. You must be incredibly strong!
I am so sorry that you had to go thru that. I hope you seek happiness. Nobody deserves something like that.🤍
Same with me. Just got out of it and I feel extremely sad yet relieved. Wish things could’ve been different but I understand I couldn’t help him or keep putting myself in danger. I’m proud of you and this post gave me so much strength. Thank you.
In an interview a while ago she said Blake said she looked like squirt from finding nemo after "she fell and hit her face" and In this video she said her abuser said she looks like squirt from finding nemo... So... its pretty clear who it was.
Also, since she published this video, Blake disappeared from the net, his last post on both instagram and twitter were made in November 22, and she posted this video on November 27.
Also he was the only person who was YOUNGER than her. She gave her fans hints.
what interview was this?
@@beautyandfashion6936 Jimmy Kimmel if I remember correctly, he brought one how clumsy she was and she told the made up story. And knowing how this works the producers ask the guest what subjects they want to talk about and if they have a story to share and since she said Bl%ake controlled a lot of her work he probably pushed her to tell that story, that way if she ever brought out accusations about him he had this interview where she basically tells how her accident *happened* (allegedly, that's my opinion anyway)
@@audrey5592 Jimmy Fallon
I’m glad she is with Chris someone who actually love her and will never hurt her the way Blake did no women should never go through that so sad.
Exactly
Fr and that they are gonna have a baby
Notaverage bing so happy for them
No man either 😔
***no PERSON should go through that
It’s sad that someone this amazing gets this crap in her life. She really is supergirl
An evidence thats been repeated countless times with her inspiring hope and peace speech
Why do they have to treat our Supergirl like that.
Right? I admire and respect her for fighting back, and I agree it's not easy to break free from any kind of abuse.
I saw the video last night and I'm reeling. I had no idea something like that happened to Melissa. I just started watching Supergirl. Domestic abuse is a nightmare.
It's sad that ANYONE could get this kind of crap in their life.
This is so sad and should be a lesson for everyone to not fantasize a version of celebrities just because of the character they are playing on screen. I remember shipping both Marley and Rider when I was younger, hoping they would be together but not realizing what was truly happening when cameras were off. I hope she heals from this trauma as this will only make her stronger and Learn to trust again as she is well worth it. I hope the next one will treat 100x better and shows her how a woman should be properly treated.
you shouldn't feel guilty just for shipping their characters.
Shes happily married to Chris Wood now
She’s married to Chris Wood and expecting!😆 I’m so happy for them
Bob Marley?
You never know what goes on behind closed doors.
The pictures of her beaten up as Supergirl while she’s talking about being abused irl is a little distasteful.....
Ik, it’s gross
Super annoying
What do you mean it's distastful
i agree it doesn’t sit right with me that the person who posted the videos also put those pictures
yeah, its insensitive
she didn't deserve that.
Nobody deserve that
No one deserves that
Nobody does
Well no shit
No she didn't. No one deserves abuse. God bless all victims and survivors of domestic violence. 🙏❤️🙏
I have done some extensive research into their relationship, and there is no doubt in my mind that Blake Jenner was Melissa’s abuser. Age difference, projects they were working on, social media post, circumstances, etc. I have put together the timeline of their relationship together, projects she subtly references and the injuries she suffered. Everything lines up perfectly. On top of all the evidence, the biggest clue is maybe the least obvious. If Blake was not the man Melissa is referring to in this video, wouldn’t she have cleared his name by now? After all the backlash, reticule, hate, and overall extremely negative attention Blake has received since the release of this video. If he were innocent, no matter the circumstances of their breakup, Melissa would have spoken up. Their actions since this videos release are what really convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt. He hasn’t been active on social media since November, his comments have been censored, and he has made no official statement in an effort to defend himself, because he knows he has no defense. He took Melissa, this beautifully inspiring bright light of a human being, and nearly extinguished her. He PERMANENTLY injured her, mentally and physically. He tried to hinder her successes because of his own petty insecurities.
I could go on and on about how horrible this situation was, but if I’m being completely honest, Melissa’s story is one of the happy ones. She got out, found true happiness with Chris, and is soon to be a mother (which she no doubt will be fantastic at). But a lot of women, and even some men, do not have that luxury and we need to talk about this more. From March 2018 to March 2019, there were 1.32 million domestic abuse related incidents reported to the police. And each year more than 30,000 people die due to domestic abuse, 70% of these victims being women. We need to be mindful and careful of those around us, because you never know who’s suffering behind closed doors. #IstandwithMelissa

Omg get a life lol
AssaultedPeanutt Well considering I’m currently studying psychology and women’s studies, I’d say this was worthy of my time🤷🏼♀️
AssaultedPeanutt wow.. some people really are heartless 🤷🏽♀️ u hate to see it
This are the kind of comments that actually matter, not the ones saying she truly surffered not like (insert the name of the woman you want), and you're right about everything, she is super brave!
It’s 100% Blake. Who else would it be? And she dressed different then, more conservative, she was more serious around him and they were constantly joined at the hip. And I can’t even watch that fox lounge clip, it’s too creepy...
Where can I find that clip I'm scared to see what happened..
@@jennaciecierski1384 same
Luminatrix FanFiction I- 😂😂💀💀 it is not another Johnny and Amber situation. That picture in 1:54 it’s from the movie Billy Boy, they were both in that movie and it was after a fight scene with a guy that he had on the movie
Luminatrix FanFiction are you serious... don’t try to find a way around this or make it look like melissa was abusive too. that’s so cold. this isn’t a johnny and amber situation. this woman has injuries that will last a whole lifetime. she was honest and open and if you do some research on this there’s literal proof of what happened to her, including an interview in which she tells the story they came up with to save his ass about her falling on a potted plant.
@@luminatrixfanfiction You're absolutely ridiculous. Melissa never abused anyone, and no one has ever claimed to be abused by her. You don't think if she was the one abusing Blake that he wouldn't claim it??? There is evidence of her suffering from abuse, including her messed up eye. Stop blaming the victim. The fact you're trying to defend Blake the abuser is disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.
The stills from her shows when she’s talking about abuse is really insensitive, she’s talking about trauma
i think they were using the pictures to show her injury because you can see in the photos that her one eye is bigger than the other.
100% agreed. I thought about this the entire time.
I think saying it's insensitive is a stretch. This person clearly didn't have that intention otherwise they wouldn't even upload a video about this at all
Some of the pic are just pics from supergirl when she’s talking about the abuse that does nothing to corroborate the abuse, which seems like a distraction from her words. Just bc you didn’t have the intention to be insensitive doesn’t mean that someone doesn’t come off insensitive, most of the time insensitivity occurs bc of lack of thoughtful intentions. It’s insensitive, you could’ve just shared her story without the extraness
@@YoureRightIThink no matter the intentions, it's insensitive...

She is honestly Supergirl in real life for having to go through this and then speaking up about it. I am so happy that she has Chris now and they are expecting a little baby boy in a few months.

ChelseaDreamBig If you go to Chris Wood instagram and you click on the picture of the baby new balance shoe and the bigger one, read the caption
But what about the others? She wasn’t the only one she’s just famous enough to have this audience. It doesn’t make HER a Supergirl it’s everyone else too.
@@noxoir3350 I understand that other people are going through this, but this video was made about her and so I don't feel the need to bring up other people because this was her story.

Blake jenner had a Guest role on supergirl now thinking about it he probably made her get him on the show
small but large bean what episode?
Bitch please Lee he is credited on 2 episodes season one episodes 11 and 12
Oh my gosh I never thought about that and it’s probably true
Oh my god, I didn’t even notice that! He played Cat Grant’s son and her love interest. Season 1’s release date was in 2015-2016, the same time they were together.
I’m also pretty sure the costar she mentions is one from Supergirl. It would fit with the time frame as well :/
I hate this video. Not because she’s speaking out . But because while she’s doing so they kept playing videos and pictures over her.... like put it on the side if anything. Stop covering her face
Right and putting in clips that don’t even have anything to do with the video?
at least they've tried doing it so just be thankful
I actually like how they put clips and pictures because i didn't know who this guy was so i better understand it.
WTF they took the time to make this
Thank you. It seems so disrespectful.
Even though his character on glee was supposed to be the “nice guy”. I got a sinister and violent vibe from him. I saw the Jimmy Fallon interview where she made the potted plant excuse, I knew then. Her posture became stiff, her eyes had fear in them, she was fidgeting her seat, and when she told her excuse her eyes shifted to the right. I am so proud of her for speaking out. I am happy that she found someone who can cherish her for the treasure of a human being that she is.
Body language is RIGHT! You sound observant af. 💚
I can't image the courage it took for Melissa to come forth, publicly. By doing so, like Kara and supergirl, Melissa gives hope and courage to others that are in abusive relationships. She is not only a beautiful person on the outside but also on the inside. Like her character, enduring mental and physical pain, yet maintaining a caring and positive attitude. YOU GO GIRL!!!
Okay I’m crying, she deserves the world,
She’s the best human on earth
This is so horrible and wrong she did not deserve this. So glad she is in an amazing relationship with Chris and is about to expand her family.=)
She did not deserve that she's a very beautiful woman she deserves better than that
No one ever deserves this.
Not being beautiful ≠ deserve to get beaten.
I am not beautiful but I still did not deserve to be beaten.
No you did not 💚
No one deserves this.
I feel bad that I used to think her divorce was bcs she fell in love with chris on set. Now I know why :(
sheila hanindra omg yes I thought the same. And after hearing this story, gosh I cant believe it :( I loved them ever since Glee. But now I hope she now found her peace and herself with Chris 💕
Same here... i just found this out today
They were married? I don't pay attention to glee post season 3 so I didn't know this
@@mazvitaselemani yes blake jenner and melissa benoist was married after glee ended
The ironic thing is that her ex husband plays the nice guy in movies....but her current husband portrays the psychotic, violent, abusive behavior in TVD and Legacies that her ex husband portrays in real life.
Ikr. But even crazy Monel never punched Kara in the face and even in season 3 Monel improved
Kai is a wonderful actor! Playing evil villains -and romantic characters . So happy for her ! Jeezus this was sad to watch !
Can we just talk about how petrifyingly beautiful she is even without makeup?
Yeah cause that's important in this domestic violence video
Aris Maceo People can talk about more than one thing.
A younger Marta Dusseldorp.
Liza Johnson I mean it is the important thing
No we don't need to talk about that. And we shouldnt . She is literally describing domestic abuse that she went through and survived . Can we for once rise above how pretty or not women are? Its so reductive.
It’s totally Blake... if you look up the time that they were together and the time she told the lie about the phone incident to jimmy fallon on the tonight show from 2016 you’ll see that it’s definitely Blake. Also if you go on his social media you’ll see he hasn’t been active since early 2019. (Which already speaks VOLUMES) but I’m really sad she had to go through this and I’m so glad she is with her new man Chris to this day in 2020. We love Melissa ❤️
I remember they got married and divorced so quickly and I always wondered why! That's probably why they both didn't return to Glee either. I am so happy she got out and has a loving partner
she also calls him younger than her and Blake is younger than Melissa
Don't forget she's also expecting!
What phone incident??
Buzzkill 78 Hex threw a cellphone at her face. Busted her iris. They made up a story that she fell and busted her face on a plant. She told the story on one of the Jimmy shows
When I watch supergirl, Kara’s and Mon-el’s relationship seems so real, and authentic. I am proud of Melissa, she fought a mental and physical battle, that she shouldn’t have fought alone, or even at all. She is now safe with Chris, and her baby.
I wouldn't want to see Chris Wood and Blake Jenner in the same room together. Chris would probably kill him!
Lol ikr
Oh yes!

It’s definitely him, she used the potted plant excuse on the tonight show in 2016 and her and Blake were together from 2015-2017

Last winter when this news first came out, I went to see a play in New York (Cyrano) - with Jasmine Cephas Jones, Peter Dinklage, and -- to my horror - Blake Jenner. An audience full of Game of Thrones and Hamilton fans had no idea, and I was shocked they let him go on that night. Small production, maybe no understudies? Anyway, it absolutely matters who it is, because he financially benefits from people NOT knowing, and he enjoys privilege as a public figure that shields him from accountability as long as we don't know. I was on the front row of a packed mid-size off broadway theater, and remember staring into his face and realizing, he's relieved I'm clearly the only one who was aware of the allegations. He does not deserve relief. Social pressure and shaming is the only thing that works with people who rely on public affection. It matters who it is. And our rejection of him matters too.
I'd like to point something out that many might miss. She said she was choked. In DV we say strangled. He strangled her. 90% (a real statistic not an exaggeration) of abusers who strangle their victims end up murdering them. Those who strangle are killers. Period. She is lucky to be alive and he deserves to be in prison for attempted murder. Her life will be permanently changed and the damage to her long term health will never be recovered. I'm glad she is out but the abuse doesn't stop just because they left. The memories and the effects of the physical abuse last a lifetime.
I would seriously like to know what Blake Jenner would benefit by doing this to her???!!
Blake is a monster and an abuser. He was with a lovely and sweet girl and he was awful with her. Im happy that she could get away from this toxic relationshop and now she's looks happy with her husband and i can't wish for her enough good things for futur born. She's a strong and beautiful woman and nobody deserves that.
there is not enough proof to accuse him of being a abuser let say there was a 100% chance that it wasn't him how do you think he would feel that he is getting accused of being a abuser

Yeah, if you talk, your family can turn against you like mine did. I talked about how my brother beat the shiz out of me and none of my family give a crap... I had to move to the other side of the world just to be able to breath...
but also be careful who you talk to. talk to someone you trust and someone you know will help you. there are also hotlines that you can call.
@@demonhunter4423 I’m so sorry for what happened to you I hope u are better now!!
Sometimes when you are in something like this, you don't realize the extent of it until the pain is too much to just ignore. If he hits me, but I'm ok then it didn't happen. If he punches me but there are no bruises, then we are fine. It's hard to admit that the person you love more than you probably love yourself, is toxic. Proud of her for taking a stand and getting the heck away from him!
exactly people keep making excuses like oh they have a damaged past , a part of me still loves them etc before realising the pain was too much
Sadly, liars like Amber Heard make it harder now for women to be believed. We love you, Melissa!!! You are our Supergirl! We believe you!!! I’m so glad you and the actor who plays Mon El found each other! Can’t wait for you to be a beautiful mama!
what lies did amber tell?
@@zeynepdoogaan i'm just going off the top of my head, but she said that Johnny Depp abused her, but then she admitted that she lied and there was evidence that she was the one abusing him. There is so much more. Just look up Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. There's a lot of information out there.
Aidan Nicole yea then it turns out he was the one being abused there’s a clip where a kid ask what happened to his finger and he makes something up but later said it was done by Amber
stop bringing that up under melissa’s story
Well, now she's about to have a baby. A whole family! And what do he have? i don't really know.. but i hope he has nothing.
I want to see her baby bump

blake needs to be prosecuted this is so heartbreaking
Probably to late.
@@coconutsciencegirl9232 many cases are brought up years later. They can still be won as long as there is enough evidence
alicia Mtz these types of thing have statute of limitations
statute of limitations should be 15 years. she will need proof which im sure she has but yeah i agree he needs to be prosecuted
She stayed because she came from a broken home and didn't want to fail like that, too. I felt that! I did the same, plus I had kids I didn't want to put through divorce! My abuse was emotional, not physical... the scars it leaves aren't visible to others and it's hard to get them to believe that he's threatened your pets, hid guns in the house, tried to get you fired from your job, destroyed your credit, stolen your mail, etc...So on top of everything, I had external pressure to stay with him. All I can say is, be kind; you never know what someone's going through.
Blake posted yesterday on his Instagram about the situation - confirming it is him.
This video would be better without the overlap of other videos cause whole sections of this statement are lost to unnecessary noise.
It should be on Melissa's Instagram. That's where she originally posted it.
True
Cape or no cape she is a real Supergirl! Luckilly she has now met her soul mate :)
every time i remember she was abused like my heard just sinks
Never realized she was Supergirl...
She looks so different now. I'm so happy she has found a happy healthy relationship and her child will be happy
She grew so much now she’s married to a man that really loves and treasures her and is now bringing a baby into this world I’m so proud and happy for her
She really is Supergirl, fighting for what she believes is right, being so brave and strong. You are worthy of not putting up with this real supervillain. Your Worthy
I always thought it was so weird how in s5 of glee they suddenly made jacob(?) pucks brother, a cheater again even after their season long arc. For her character to go back to Blake’s character. Idk if I’m reaching but it never made sense to me, especially after they made the new kids leave after s5 after all the hype that surrounded them.
This is so devastating so paining to see her that what's she's been through !! She seems so sweet so so nice ! How someone can do such things to the person like her !!
That guy wasn’t even good enough for her. She deserved better. She shouldn’t have been abused
I cried the entire time I watched this video. I relate so deeply to her story because just 5 months ago this was my life. My ex isolated me and hurt me making me believe it was all me, it was my fault and I was horrible and untrustworthy. I feel better knowing that someone I look up to is healing and working through the same thing. I feel for her and send her all my love because I know how hard it is to heal from something so awful and traumatizing.
I am pissed! No one hurts my girl. No one hits Super Girl!
I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the title of this video. I knew I wasn't the only one who thought so.
There is no doubt in my mind that Blake is/was an abusive creep. No doubt. I feel very bad for Melissa and I am so glad she's happy and well, now.
I watched Glee from the very first episode right till the very end. It's heartbreaking to see and know that she's gone through this. Hearing how her voice shook as she talked about her abuse was saddening. But also, hearing how calm and confident she sounded right after she finished her story towards the end shows how happy and comfortable she is right now. Traumatic experiences will not heal easily but I'm glad that she's making positive progress! My heart goes out to Melissa. She's a really talented actress. 💛💛💛
When he asks you to change your clothes GTFO
Ikr
That's so sad, especially cause he came in as her love interest on supergirl for a an episode or two. They made her act with him again and I can't imagine what it was like to have to pretend to love her abuser just for a show.
But they were still married at the time. And i doubt the producers knew anything about it at the time. I also think that she either asked for him to be play the role or he asked if he could. Backnin season 1, noone knew this thing happened, so they didnt make her act with him, they probably just didnt know.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be able to watch those episodes again. I bet he asked to be on the show and that’s so infuriating. Also, during the interview Melissa gave ok jimmy fallon where she talks about her eye injury, she mentions the “accident” happened the day after she got the part of supergirl, which makes me wonder if that was the reason they were arguing when he threw the f*cking phone at her face
Mariana Godoy omg what episode is that?? i don’t remember . she is the real super girl for surviving this :( ♥️
She is very brave for leaving Blake and now she is happy with Chris
I am so proud of her! 😘 She did such an amazing job and she showed so much strength and courage when she accepted the support of friends and family when she left him. On a personal note, I didn't experience physical abuse, but rather emotional and mental abuse. He also physically and emotionally raped me. (Emotional rape is a real thing.) 😉 I remember that the first time I told anyone about my experience, I was terrified! I still don't feel 100% comfortable, but I get a little better every time I tell it. In case you read this, Melissa, I will be praying for you. Keep being amazing! I am an avid Supergirl fan!
It was for sure BLAKE.
At least she is in a wwwwwwaaaaayyyy better relationship with Chris Wood and
SHE'S PREGNANT
She is way braver the I. This gives me hope. I see my story in hers. Down to the letter except one big obstacle, we have 2 kids. I’m isolated and have nothing of my own(money, car, real job) it’s another way to keep you stuck and dependent on them. They are so insecure and afraid that you will smarten up, get stronger, and say ENOUGH AND LEAVE. They love you most when you have one foot out the door. Mine just threw coffee on me (and $2,000 worth of recording equipment he bought with OUR $$). I was more worried about the equipment because I knew that I could make him care more about that then me. It’s a vicious cycle but mine doesn’t even apologize anymore for the abuse and cheating. 12 years in and he knows how stuck I am even though he knows I don’t want to be with him, I don’t love him, and I in fact hate him. I have told him I can not stand to even be around him. He cares more about keeping and controlling me and our kids then if I love him or if the kids are happy. When we fight and I stand up for myself he puts on his father of the year hat when he really does nothing for anyone not even his kids. It’s a sorry excuse for a life and one day I will get out with my kids and be happy. Her strength is a beacon to others who suffer the same abuse. It turns helplessness into hopefulness.
Praying for you. Please know that there are people who can help. Be safe and get away please 💕
praying for you my beloved sister. pls stay safe and leave him now
OMG they been together since Glee I didn’t know. And what’s worse he abuse her, how dare he I really thought he was a good guy, boy was a Wrong. #Shame on Him

I remember shipping them back on Glee and so happy when they got married, its so awful that he turned out to be such an asshole. I'm glad she's happy with Chris now and she survived the endeavor.
i'm so proud of her. she pulled herself out of that hell hole she was in , found someone who truly truly loves her and having a baby. she deserves the world , and the fact that she shared this, having hard to live through this again, is tremendous.
It was him. Chris liked a tweet with his picture on it saying that he was that guy
When?
@@chrys9815 the same day she posted the video
She is so strong. I am so glad that she survived
This is the part I dont understand. I was on the receiving end, not so much physical, more mental. It started when I was a little boy and never stopped. So when I see people being hurt I want to help not hurt them. But Im glad you got out and life is better for you and yours
My heart truly hurts for you, Mike. I experienced about 4 years of mental, emotional, and sexual abuse. Just about an entire life of it...I can't imagine! People who abuse at all deserve so much worse! I just wanted to let you know that you have someone who is thinking about you and praying for you! Take care!
@@lesleyled76 Means a lot Thank you.
It comes out differently for different people. There are a variety of factos that play a role in becoming abusive, you can have two siblings who grew up in the same home with the same parent and one continues that cycle of abuse and one breaks it, the hope is both break it, but that is sadly not always the case.
I’m sorry you went through that, Mike 💚 wishing you peace
Oh I feel for this girl. My abusive relationship wasn’t nearly as horrific as this, and nearly a year later I’m still having nightmares about it. I can’t imagine how scary and difficult this has and will continue to be for her. 💔
She captured exactly what it feels like to be in a relationship like that. The drainage, thought process, the excuses and so much more. I’m so happy she spoke up ❤️ this was very encouraging
I have been though something like this and it makes me emotional how she had to put on a front. I am so proud of you and I pray that if anyone is going for this you are worth it, you will make it. stay strong #istandwithmellisa💔💜💪🙏🏻
i knew he was trouble the first time I saw him.
i'm really happy that shes happy now and is starting a family with Chris she deserves the world and i stand with her! 💕
It's almost two years now since Melissa opened up and I constantly find myself coming back and while still getting emotional feeling very proud of how strong she is and how she managed to move on. Look at her now, she's married to a much better person, has a kid, has brought life to a beloved superhero, has progressed from actress to director, has been on Broadway, and has even started her own production company. She's such a sweetheart too, beautiful inside and out, and a true inspiration to all. We love you Melissa, never ever forget that.
I want that man to be removed from production of Merrily We Roll Along. It's going to take 20 years to film, it's not too late to recast the role. And after that I want him locked up for the emotional and physical harm he caused this beautiful woman. He can twist the tale all he wants, but it won't take away the severe damage he did.
IStandWithMelissa
Blake Jenner came out and confirmed that he was the abuser and “apologized.” I have that in quotes because it was barely an apology. He eventually tried to victimize himself. And regardless, apology or not, it would never make up for the years of abuse she endured and it will never make up for the healing she will have to go through and live with for the rest of her life. He left a scar on her, physically, emotionally, and mentally, that she will never be able to get rid of. It’s absolutely disgusting that people like that actually exist, but it’s even more sickening that they get away with it. So much more respect to Melissa. I’m glad she shared her story, it’s a brave thing to do, and I hope more people will have the same courage to come out and share theirs, but if not, I hope they’re aware that they’re not alone in this and that everything will be okay.🤍
I am so glad that she survived it and that she’s now living a life with someone who, I’m assuming, genuinely loves her. I hope she and her husband are truly happy. She deserves it.
I appreciate her bravery,she is right she built up quiet strength while being in abusive relationship and I hope many ,many other women listen to her message!
This is so hard to listen to i literally just want to hug her right now 😭💔 so glad she's with Chris and Happy and loved and being in a healthy relationship
This is so scary, They used to look so happy together.. I Always thought Blake was such a nice guy since the glee project...
Me and my abusive boyfriend were the "perfect college relationship" even the dean of our major knew we were dating. Is really scary how they can manipulate you to even cover up their abuse
@@xVadRay I used to think that you can easily see if someone is abusive and if someone is abuse if you pay attention. Now I see with horror that abuse can be so subtle and also more frequent than i thought. I am truly sorry for you. are you still with him ? (Sorry for my english)
It makes me smile and cry at the same time because she survived and has now found Chris who is perfect for her. And there having a baby!! She is a real life supergirl and she is so strong. She truly deserves someone like Chris.
Melissa i am so sorry, you went through this alone. You are a true warrior
Blake is clearly guilty, he hasn't posted since 2019 and closed his comments
ikr!!
Well, next time don't abuse someone
I think Blake was stalking her on social media seems funny he shut done his social media2 months after she re marries
My ex husband hit me, a lot. This kinda gave me ptsd but also realization that it’s ok to walk away. I’m so sorry what happened to you, and I am glad you are safe now❤️
The way she describes how he would run her a bath and never justify his actions but come to her with self hatred for his actions is exactly what I went through. The way she explains how she justified his actions is exactly what I did with my ex boyfriend... I thought my love and willingness to love him despite his demons in his mind would show him how to love himself. I never thought I could heal his demons but that I could show him what that life could be like and I could be someone to help bring him out of his darkness. It’s so heartbreaking to hear her story because nobody expects someone that you love and loves you to hurt you in the worst ways. Such a strong woman I have so much respect🤍
I remember watching glee and feeling like Blake gave “jerk” vibes. Idk if that was him or his character tho.
His character (Ryder) was sooo sweet but irl Blake is a monster.
I’m so happy she got out of that relationship, no one deserves to be abused
She is strong just like Supergirl
I remember watching this video on Instagram when she first spoke about it. The suspicion both broke my heart for Melissa and angered me as a former fan of Blake. I am so proud of Melissa for being as strong as she is to push through and tell her story.
I just have a theory. In Supergirl during her fight with Reign the visual techniques were an awful lot like how she had described some of her abuse. She said she was dragged by her hair which happened in the fight, bruises on her eye, broke pavements/wall. I don't know if I'm just thinking to deep or not but there are some similarities.
It's almost eerie how similar people's stories about abusive relationships are. As a person who's gone through the same hell, I feel really thankful that she shared hers.
