While speaking with Oprah Winfrey about her new movie, A Wrinkle In Time, Reese Witherspoon revealed that she left a very abusive relationship when she was “really young.” The Oscar winner said, “A line got drawn in the sand, and it got crossed, and my brain just switched, and I knew it was going to be very difficult, but I just couldn’t go any further.” She carried on to say, “But it was profound, and I was young. Really young. … I was a different person too. It changed who I was on a cellular level, the fact that I stood up for myself. … Leaving those situations [isn’t] easy because it’s wrought with self-doubt, particularly if someone damages your self-esteem. … I didn’t have self-esteem, you know? And I’m a different person now.”
