Blake Jenner has addressed the claims of mental, emotional, and physical abuse made against him by his ex-wife and Supergirl actor Melissa Benoist. While Jenner had not been explicitly named in the allegations, Benoist spoke last November about suffering abuse at the hands of a former partner who was younger than her.
He went into further detail of the emotional and physical abuse including a shower incident that allegedly left him with “a traumatic injury”.
Benoist, who had described the phone-throwing incident in her 2019 video, admitted at the time to “fighting back” after suffering abuse.
“Without absolving myself of any responsibility,” he continued, “it’s important to understand that there was mental, emotional and physical abuse inflicted on both ends.”
