The oscar-winning actress says, “Rihanna was able to get away, which isn’t often the easiest thing. Any time a woman frees herself from that kind of bondage and that kind of situation, I’m proud.” It’s not the first time Halle has spoken about her tragic past.

In 2005, the star said, “Domestic violence is something I’ve known about since I was a child. My mother was a victim of it. Early on in my life I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up… First time it happened, I knew enough to keep moving.”
