"I mean, he showed up across the country at a meet-and-greet of mine and said he needed to talk to me," Ryan said. "I hadn't talked to him in a month. I told him to leave my life. So he threw a phone at me and it shattered to pieces and he was screaming, punching the wall, and cussing me out."

The actress gave more details on how things got worse as well as how difficult it was for her to get out of this kind of relationship with someone.

"Then he started bawling and said he's sorry and loves me," she said. "And then grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me in a bathroom and locked the door. I wasn't dating this person. This person considered themselves my best friend. We also had a professional relationship and it was such emotional manipulation to the point where it became physical, and it stopped before it got too far."

Hollywood Life caught up with Ryan who is working on a campaign called Don't Look Away.

"It's raising awareness about dating violence in young adults and teens and opens the conversation for, what is normal?" the actress shared. "What is healthy? What is okay? What am I experiencing?"
