Really brave. I cried with her. I'm glad the interviewer supports her when she cries.

So fucking heart breaking, and the fact that men watched her get strangled. Is there no end to male depravity?

thanks for posting this. so important.

a couple points so that we can practice calling out sexism when we see it:

- "she's not angry, and she's not coming from a place of anger and bitterness" tf? why is she not allowed to be angry? got strangled, beaten, and threatened, but gotta remember, she's not angry. probably some racialized sexism to this as well.

- "she's a little bitty thing" no. this is a woman. not a thing. kthx.

It’s disgusting how she’s not even allowed to be angry lest labeled a bitch. She’s always been the manic pixie type for the men she’s dated. Wonder what went down with Pattinson too

I'm proud of her for coming forward and raising awareness about abuse and warning signs of abusive people, such as "love bombing" 🌸

shia: she knew that I am a hurtful person, why did she even engage with me?

also shia: lovebombs women to make them fall in love with him.

When she started crying it broke my heart. I'm so glad she survived this.

One time my ex had us both in the car, he was driving and I was in the passenger seat. He was pissed off and we were arguing.

He was accelerating quickly towards a line of parked cars and was speeding up. He was going to crash the car. At the very last second he turned the wheel and 'saved' our lives.

It is fucking terrifying.

I love FKA Twigs so much. I have always seen her as a role model ever since I got into her music. That this could happen to her - someone who appeared so fiercely strong, so supremely confident and independent - just speaks to the disgustingly insidious nature of abuse (which I too have experienced). It isn't something that just happens to someone who seems weak, can't speak up for themselves etc. This isn't to say that a certain type of woman attracts abuse, but I feel like people see a strong woman and think it can't happen to her. It's a hurtful fallacy. I feel like that's also partly behind people still asking "why did you stay." They don't understand that it is designed to destroy you completely. You could be in a bad time in your life, or you could be at a really high point in your life. It doesn't matter. That's how horrific it is. It'll suck in and destroy anyone. I pray for her healing.

That reminds me of my ex. We were in public when the abuse happened and no one came to help me. I know exactly what she means when she says she felt alone.
