      She is one hell of an actress. Her pain never showed. It's heartbreaking. She also let people let talk mad shit about her saying she did Blake dirty. Blake fans defended a woman abuser.

      @Chris Andrews I think Jennifer meant that her pain wasn't showing when she told the fake story of what happened in a past interview. Blake is her ex who many believe, due to the timeline, is the man who abused her. Jennifer is not saying that Melissa is faking her story or a woman abuser. Hope that clears things up!

    I don’t care for her show Supergirl, but I’m sure the role has turned Benoist into a role model for young girls. This video does more than wearing a cape and pretending to fight aliens. I recall her doing interviews before the show came out and telling a story of wearing an eye patch to a costume fitting. She laughed about how it looked to dress as Supergirl wearing an eye patch. Now it’s clear why she had the eye patch and that she was laughing to hide the pain. One last thing. I’ve heard people trash her for having such a short marriage. But now when people criticize women for divorcing after a short time, maybe they shouldn’t assume too much. They don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors.

      That's one of the things I was thinking about while I was watching and listening to what she was saying. I only know a fraction of how hard it is to open up about something so dark, which goes to show how strong and brave Melissa is. I really commend her for gathering the strength to broadcast her story in her own words because every time a person opens up about past or current situations, it helps another person, which I think is incredible.
      So yeah, somewhere in my mind I was thinking that Chris was sat close by for moral/emotional support, and more than ready to give her the comfort she needed afterwards. After everything she's been through, I really hope she's found the happiness she deserves with Chris- and she must've done, considering they're married now.

I have a daughter just your age, and I feel rage thinking a man could bully a young woman like that.

    This is so an important message. I am also a survivor of domestic violence and will feel the pain for the rest of my life. It is truly humiliating to be handled as an object you can hit and throw away. I brought my abuser to court because hitting someone in public is a crime but it is so difficult to prove violence indoors because of all the lies surrounding abuse. Thank you Melissa for speaking up. This is so emotionally hard to do. But I truly believe that healing is real and can be found.

    This woman IS Supergirl. She is so strong and so courageous for sharing this. I feel so terrible for what she went through. I’m just so glad that she found Chris on the set of Supergirl. He is someone that treats her well. You can see it in how he acts with her. Blake was always a little off now that I think about it. There seemed to be an underlying tension.
