Just watched Melissa's video on IGTV. My god, the pain that she had to go through in the past with her former partner just proves that she really *is* Supergirl and can fly high with a smile on her face.
Fearless 4 Him She posted in her Instagram about how she was a victim of domestic abuse by an old relationship of hers(we know who it is but I’m respecting her decision of not saying his name because the important part of the video was that she was encouraging people to tell others if they are suffering).She is an amazing woman who is extremely brave to come out with this.
this is a woman who is strong and brave and a survivor. she has not only survived but told her story, empowered others to seek help and provide help, notice the signs and symptoms. supergirl may be a hero on tv but melissa benoist is a real life superhero. #istandwithmelissa
People used to say her and Blake were “couple goals” too. Y’all need to stop saying that bullshit. None of these people are goals of any kind, because you don’t know what truly goes on behind the camera
The sad thing is, reagin this I thought you meant Evan, and not Melissa. Quite sad that this happens so often, that in a talk show, the 2 female guests you have, are abuse survivors.
Melissa and Chris are the cutest couple ever. I was rooting for them since the first day Chris became a character in supergirl. Melissa is soooo strong for what she went through and I wish nothing but the best in life and all the happiness this world has to offer her. #IstandwithMelissa
i am so glad she is happy and found a guy that really loves her, obviously most people had no idea what she was going through with her ex. I am glad she clearly has a good bunch of friends and family around her that helped give her the strength she needed to get through this but it
Melissa is amazing, the abuse and pain she went thru, she really is a Supergirl. May she keep blessing this world with her strength and pure awesomeness! #istandwithmelissa
I love Melissa I really happy for her and happy she's in a good place in life with Chris some whos actually cares for HER 😠 makes me mad remembering what happened to her with the abuse #Love Melissa
#istandwithmelissa love her so much, she is so brave and strong and a genuinely lovely person. Congratulations to you and Chris, may you have a long, wonderful life together ❤❤👰🏼🤵
Reading all the comments from people who don’t believe Melissa is soo infuriating to me. Melissa decided to open up about her abuse and people are saying she might be lying, I mean🙄.... - Fact is that one of her pupils is bigger than the other (like she explained). - Fact is that the phone incident happened in 2015, while she was dating Blake Jenner. - Fact is that her abuser was younger. The fact that she said that her abuser was younger and the incident with the phone happened in 2015, got everyone saying it was Blake Jenner. Now.... do you guys really think that Melissa would not have said anything if it weren’t Blake??!! Do you guys really believe Blake himself would not have said anything if he didn’t do anything? Hell, even Weinstein tried denying he did something (even with all the evidence), but Blake has not spoken about anything and has turned of his social media comment section. This to me is all the proof that I need. For the people who bitch about her not coming out sooner or leaving him sooner... she might have divorced him in 2016 and their divorce was finalised in 2017 (I think), but this doesn’t mean that they were still with each other and living together. And the reason why she didn’t spoke about it “sooner” is because abuse is really not that easy to talk about. She probably needed the time. Lastly, Supergirl may be loosing viewers in the USA, but the world is actually bigger than The States alone. Supergirl is doing well on Netflix and in Europe.
Melissa is a literal Supergirl. She is so brave and has such a big heart. There is no reason this should’ve happened to her. So glad she has Chris Wood. ❤️
Trauma or not, it takes a special kind of asshole to take someone like Melissa for granted, let alone abuse them. My father and stepfather had very rough upringings, and yet they couldn't be calmer/kinder men. Plenty of people make it through a tough life without propagating abuse. I'm really happy Melissa is finding happiness amidst healing that will be lifelong.
Supergirl is one of my favorite shows and Melissa is underrated as an actress she does a great job with that character..I hate where the writers are taking the show but no fault to her she's awesome and makes my Sundays Super
I’m absolutely speechless, Melissa there is so much to say to you but right now all I can say is you are one of a kind. You are beautiful, strong, smart, brave, and kind. I truly hope that you are surrounded by so much love for ever. Although you have not met most of us, we still care about you and treat you as part of our own family’s. You are in our lives weekly and daily and for some of us, you have changed our lives forever. I am not saying this as a fan of your roles (which I very much am a fan of) but as a true fan of you. I hope that one day I will be lucky enough to meet you and give you a big hug and tell you honestly how much you mean to me. Thank you for your bravery, you Melissa Benoist are a true hero. #IStandWithMelissa
when she said my husband 😢. i’ve always seen melissa as a genuinely happy person and watching her tell everyone about the abuse was heart wrenching but she’s strong and i’m glad she has chris now.
I just started watching Supergirl and I'm currently on Season 3, to tell you honestly knowing that they got married in REAL LIFE makes it less painful to know that Mon-El is married to someone else instead of Kara/Supergirl. At least I know this is the reality and it's so good. I'm happy they are together and I so love Melissa!
Heard Melissa's story. It was inspiring and moving. I hope she reveals the name (even though we have an idea who it is) and that bastard gets what he deserves.
BOTH Evan and Melissa endured frightening domestic abuse, and have been incredibly brave in speaking out about their experiences. That couch is carrying some very courageous women.
I don't want to bring anything from the past in this comment, but send love and lots of light to Melissa and of course best wishes to married life✨✨❤️✨
I guess I'm not too late to join Melissa's fandom. Not just here bcoz I am currently watching Supergirl but bcoz I admire her strength to overcome everything she's been through and the courage to smile after all. Watched too many movies and series and I believe, hers is the most beautiful smile. Keep smiling melissa ❤
