Bella Hadid Speaks Out on Abusive Relationships
Speaking on Victoria’s Secret’s VS Voices podcast, Bella voiced her past experiences.
Without naming names she recalled: ‘I constantly went back to men and also women that had abused me and that’s where the people pleasing came in.’
She said: ‘I always felt like my voice was never heard growing up.’
Bella, who used to date singer-songwriter The Weeknd, added: ‘I grew up around men. Whether that was in relationships or family or whatever that was, where I was constantly told that my voice was less important than their voice.’
‘Then moving into relationships growing up. And not having the boundaries of being able to stick up for myself. And have my voice being heard, affected me in my adult relationships very intensely, where my nervous system would crash. It was fight or flight.
When asked ‘What has brought you back to center and back to yourself in a way that has been helpful and nourishing?’ Bella listed several lifestyle changes.
‘Staying off social media’ was among them. ‘It sounds very cliche. But to not have the energy of everyone else and their projections being projected back onto you, is one of the most powerful things of all time,’ she said.
‘It’s a cliche for a reason because it’s a fact that it works,’ she noted.
