Kendrick has been notoriously private about her relationships. In 2024, while promoting her directorial debut Woman Of The Hour, a real-life story about a woman who dated a serial killer, Rodney Alcala, she opened up about having been in an abusive relationship.
On the podcast Call Her Daddy, Kenrick shared that the relationship lasted for seven years and that at the time she found it “difficult to identify” as it “didn’t follow the traditional pattern.”
“I was reading all the articles and going… Some of it looks like how they are describing, but not completely,” she said. She also told People in 2022 that she was drawn to her character in the drama Alice, Darling, because she herself was “coming out of a personal experience with emotional abuse and psychological abuse.”
“I was in a situation where I loved and trusted this person more than I trusted myself. So when that person is telling you that you have a distorted sense of reality and that you are impossible and that all the stuff that you think is going on is not going on, your life gets really confusing really quickly.” Kendrick also said on Call Her Daddy that therapy was a “non-negotiable” for any future partners. “I’m never getting involved with a man, meaning we’re not even kissing, we’re not even going to have a real conversation — unless you are in or have been in therapy,” she said.
Anna Kendrick donated her fee from the Netflix true crime film to two victims’ charities, saying she felt it would be “gross” to profit from the story.
