Earlier this month, Anna Kendrick opened up on Alex Cooper?s Call Her Daddy podcast about the years of abuse she suffered while in a seven-year-long relationship. You can listen to her interview here. Anna is promoting hew new Netflix movie, Woman of the Hour, which is based on the true story of The Dating Game serial killer, Rodney Alcala. Anna directed the film and stars as Cheryl, a contestant on The Dating Game.
Anna appeared on another podcast this week, Crime Junkie AF. She mentioned that when she realized that the movie was going to make money, she decided to donate it to charity because it felt ?gross? to profit off of it. The charities that she?s donating her profits to are RAINN and The National Center for Victims of Violent Crime.
In a recent interview, Anna revealed she actually didn?t make any money from the movie, as she donated her earnings to organizations that specialize in victims of violent crime and sexual abuse.
?Believe me, this was never a money-making venture for me, ?cause you know, all the resources went to actually just making the movie,? she said on the Crime Junkie AF podcast. ?But it wasn?t until the Toronto Film Festival, where the movie premiered and it?s this big film festival for someone to buy movies, and that is where eventually Netflix bought the movie.?
?But, it wasn?t until like the week before TIFF that I thought, ?Oh, the movie?s going to make money,?? Anna said. ?Like, I was just so, I went from being like, ?Let me know when the movie happens!? to like, ?Oh god, I?m responsible for this,? and then I was just making the movie, making the movie, and then we just barely made the deadline to get into TIFF.?
?Then it was like, ?Oh, there?s like money going to be exchanging hands,? and yeah,? she continued. ?I sort of asked myself the question of like, ?Do you feel gross about this?? and I did, and so yeah, I?m not making money off of the movie. The money is going to, or has gone to, RAINN and to The National Center For Victims of Violent Crime, which is a charity that Matt Murphy recommended to me.?

This is a really powerful gesture from Anna. She?s putting her money where her mouth is and donating to two great charities. Even more so, she?s making more people aware that they exist. I truly hope that it helps in her own healing process. It also makes me want to watch Woman of the Hour even more. It?s already out on Netflix, so I?m adding it to my list now.

Anna Kendrick is currently promoting the Netflix movie Woman of the Hour. It?s a film based on the true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala, who appeared on The Dating Game in the 1970s at the height of his killing spree. Anna plays Cheryl, a contestant on The Dating Game, and Anna stepped in as director when the original director left the project. Anna is still feeling really raw in 2022, she spoke about leaving a long-term relationship which had been emotionally and psychologically abusive. Because of that abuse, Anna basically can?t do comedies or anything lighthearted anymore, and she?s working through that years-long abuse through her art and her interviews. She recently spoke to the Independent about the past relationship and Woman of the Hour some highlights:
Feeling unsafe is a universal experience for women: ?Unfortunately, I do know that moment where you?re in a room with someone and wondering: ?How is it that 10 seconds ago I thought everything was going fine, and now I?m not safe?? And I think that?s something a lot of people know really well. Especially women.?
Her past relationship: In 2022, Kendrick began to speak publicly about her relationship with a man whom she has described as ?for all intents and purposes my husband?. They were together for just over six years, during which ? she has alleged ? she experienced ?emotional abuse and psychological abuse?It?s hard to talk about Kendrick?s work without talking about her personal life, too. She agrees, even if a part of her hates it. ?For a second, I did think that interviews for this film would just involve me being asked about every member of the cast and the crew, and I?d just gush about them and? But so far, no one?s asked me about the sound team.?
The misogyny within ?Woman of the Hour?: ?It does feel like the most revealing piece of work I?ve ever done. It created a window into my mind. Sometimes the most torturous thing isn?t just the disrespect or mistreatment, but the fact that everyone?s acting like it?s not happening. Which then convinces you that something?s not happening. It makes you question whether you?re making all of it up, or if you?re being paranoid or too sensitive.? She?s talking about gaslighting. ?You sound crazy. You?re dismissed. ?He brushed your hair off your shoulder ? that?s nothing.? And yet when you?re there, you can feel the threat that?s hanging in the room.?
Why she took a break from acting & can?t do comedies any

Anna Kendrick has been exceptionally open about how much of herself she?s put into her performance for Alice, Darling. The movie portrays a woman in an emotional and psychologically abusive relationship. During the press for the movie, Anna divulged that she?d experienced the same type of abuse with an ex and that family and friends helped her leave the relationship. Because she had some distance between the abuse and the filming, Anna was able to give her character the vulnerability she needed without retriggering her own trauma. However, what Anna didn?t anticipate was how much the promotional junket would weigh on her. She finally had to admit she couldn?t go through with all her obligations and she established boundaries.
Having a decades-long career, actor Anna Kendrick has experienced her share of promotional tours for the films she?s been in. Yet, with her most recent psychological thriller Alice, Darling, the Pitch Perfect star has revealed that her own emotional ties to the film have made the press junket situations ?trickier to navigate? than ever before.
?People have asked me, ?Was it challenging to shoot the movie?? and I guess that question makes sense,? said the Oscar-nominated actor. ?But I?m actually finding that the press is the thing that has been a little trickier to navigate, making sure that I?m OK and feeling safe in my body.?
Highlighting one specific situation of multiple, fast-paced interviews, Kendrick described feeling ?shitty? at the end of the day and making a decision to not continue that type of press junkets for the rest of the promotional tour.
?There was a thing early on where I was doing like a junket-style day for Alice, Darling where it?s like six minutes per person and you kind of run through like 30 interviews really quickly, and I went home and was in the shower and was like, ?Why do I feel so shitty right now??? Kendrick said. ?And I sort of told everyone, ?I don?t think I can do another thing like that.??
She added, ?I totally get it?s no journalist?s job to show up for me in the same headspace that I?m in, but I?m trying really hard to go into these conversations really open and it feels kind of strange to be talking to somebody who clearly just has a million things to do that day? I was like, ?Oh, I need to draw a boundary there. I can?t really be talking about this in that style of conversation.??
[From The AV Club]
This makes perfect sense to me. As much as the script for Alice, Darling might have paralleled Anna?s experience, as an actress, she was probably able to lose herself in the character. That would have given her the layer of protection she needed to not fall back into that place emotionally. But on the press rounds, Annas speaking about her own experience and being asked repeatedly to relive it. She probably thought she was ready for the discussion but found out she had limits. Trauma rears its ugly head when we least expect it.
I also understand what Anna?s saying about having a deeply personal conversation with someone who isn?t on the same page as her. True, it?s not the journalists? responsibility to place themselves in her shoes. But it does make it that much harder to discuss something like this, especially if she?s opened herself up and the journalist is just looking for a pull quote with one eye on the clock. So I?m glad Anna recognized she needed to draw those boundaries. They will do a lot of good putting this film out there. I hope those involved benefit from it as well.

Anna Kendrick has a new film out called Alice, Darling. It looks like it?s a great film but also like it will be incredibly difficult to watch. Anna plays Alice, who is in a psychologically abusive relationship with Simon. Her friends suspect/know something is wrong, but they can?t get through to Alice. Watching the trailer made my stomach turn. If the trailer is triggering, I can only imagine what the film is like. You can see the trailer here. Unfortunately, the reason Anna is so convincing in her role as Alice is because she was drawing on personal experience. Anna received the script soon after getting out of an emotionally abusive relationship. The movie was so similar to what she had gone through, that Anna said if it wasn?t being filmed several months from when she read it, she risked being retraumatized. But she had the space and supportive cast and director, which kept her safe. So they were able to tell the story in a way that may help others.
Anna Kendrick?s latest film, ?Alice, Darling,? didn?t need an emotional abuse consultant. Its emotional abuse consultant was Anna Kendrick.
Lead actor and executive producer Kendrick had recently come out of an emotionally abusive relationship of her own when she was sent the screenplay, written by Alanna Francis, which details the experience of a woman struggling, while on vacation with two close friends, to come to terms with the fact that she?s been psychologically abused by her boyfriend.

Anna Kendrick is one of those rare celebrities who just does good work, gives charming interviews and stays quiet. She works all the time and she mostly stays under the radar, gossip-wise. So here?s one of the rare gossip stories about Anna: she?s apparently been quietly dating Bill Hader for the better part of a year. Hader was married from 2006 to 2018 and he shares three daughters with his ex-wife. The last we heard, he was quietly dating Rachel Bilson in late 2019 and early 2020. Hader and Bilson broke up in the summer of 2020, and it looks like he began dating Anna months later.
Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader have enjoyed a budding relationship for more than a year, a source tells PEOPLE.
Anna has been dating Bill quietly for over a year, says the source. They met years ago. Shes hosted Saturday Night Live and theyve done a movie together, but they got together well after the movie.
They are both very private people, and with the pandemic it was easy to keep it quiet, adds the source. Theyre both hysterical so they must keep each other laughing all of the time. Shes really, really happy.
Reps for both actors declined to comment for PEOPLE. The Oscar-nominated Pitch Perfect actress, 36, and Hader, 43, costarred in the 2019 Disney+ Christmas movie Noelle together.
PEOPLE confirmed in July 2020 that Hader and former girlfriend Rachel Bilson amicably broke up six months after making their relationship public at the Golden Globes. Bilson and Hader had starred together in the 2013 romantic comedy The To Do List. Maggie Carey, that films director, was married to Hader from 2006 to 2018. They share three daughters: Hayley Clementine, 7, Harper, 9, and Hannah Kathryn, 12.

People had a follow-up with a source explaining how Anna and Bill kept their relationship quiet for so long: They ?are both very private people, and with the pandemic, it was easy to keep it quiet. Theyre both hysterical so they must keep each other laughing all of the time. Shes really, really happy. It?s interesting! So many people are surprisingly hot for Bill Hader, which I?ve never really understood? He?s mega-talented, for sure. He?s very funny. But? I don?t know. Not my type, I guess! But I?ll buy that he is Anna?s type. Good for them for keeping it quiet too.

Anna Kendrick had a rough end to her January. She tweeted last week that she had just been hospitalized for kidney stones. Kidney stones are bits of minerals and salt that form into hard ?stones? inside the kidneys and work their way out in what I?ve been told is a pain on par with childbirth. What was noteworthy about Anna?s medical condition was not that she got kidney stones, 1 in 10 people will in their lifetime, but that she took the time to thank the doctors and nurses who treated her. And Anna articulated a very common problem, especially among women, that we ignore pain.
On Friday, Anna tweeted the following thread:
So, I need to give a shout out to the Atlanta doctors and nurses who helped me through my first experience with kidney stones when I was at my most vulnerable and terrified. Especially the truly wonderful ladies: Renee, Sandra, Muriel, Beverly, Ashley, Nina, Callie, and

Here are more photos from Sunday night?s Tony Awards. You can see the list of 2017 Tony Award winners here. Increasingly, as the years go by, the Tonys become more of a ?glitzy? event, more of a regular awards show. Part of that is because there are more ?movie stars? wanting to branch out into theater (or go back to their theater roots). Part of it is financial too – it costs a lot of money to launch a Broadway show these days, thus, there?s more money spent on the Tonys. Anyway, Anna Kendrick is one of those movie stars who started in theater (she?s actually a Tony Award winner) and she?s pretty much the textbook definition of ?musical theater geek.? Anna wore this Miu Miu gown which? I mean, it?s on-brand for Anna, but I dislike it. I dislike everything, especially that little red bow – God, I hate that bow – and Anna?s sickly Pink eye makeup. This is not the look.
I enjoy the fact that Bee Shaffer is getting more involved with her mom?s world. She?s a beautiful young woman, and she looks amazing in high-end design. Bee wore a Alexander McQueen gown from the current season, while her mom Anna Wintour wore Maison Margiela (John Galliano?s label).
Michelle Wilson in Hakaan. This is very pretty, albeit a very ?standard? look for the Tony Awards. Versions of this dress in black were probably on every producer?s wife.
I don?t have an ID on Uma Thurman?s ensemble, but it?s lovely and simple and chic.
I love this photo of Cynthia Erivo (in CG) because she looks like she doesn?t want to be there, at all. This is how we should all walk the red carpet: looking great, but also looking like we?re about to kill somebody.
Tina Fey in Sally LaPointe. Simple, pretty.

Here is Anna Kendrick nabbing the ‘Hot And Funny’ award at Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards in Culver City.
The chic sleeveless number featured a cut-out neckline, which resulted in a halterneck style finish, subtly showing off her perky assets.
Falling at a midi-length level, it went on to show off her strappy silver heels which displayed her beige pedicure and heightened her 5 ft 1 in frame.
