Debby Ryan Opens Up On Abusive Relationship

On Thursday, Fan La La posted the details from the Jessie star who talked about the "Don't Look Campaign" that focuses on people in toxic relationships who can find themselves again. Ryan mentioned how she was in New York for an event and how people can realize the great result of ending an abusive partnership.

"I got to experience some of these amazing victors and survivors and talk with them and hear some of their stories, and also hear where they were going, 'what do you love, what are you writing for, what are your dreams,' you get to start over.

The actress then pointed out how serious her relationship was when she was hiding physical marks on her body.

"I feel like culturally you know when it is domestic abuse when he lays a hand on you. And I was covering bruises and still was writing it off," she said. "But you know that that's when it's domestic abuse."

Ryan revealed that bruises aren't the only signs of abuse. There are several other forms as well.

"There's a thing called digital abuse- if he's demanding that you're checking in, checking your phone, creeping on your emails, that's digital abuse," she said. "If he is cutting you down and insulting you, and if he's jealous and possessive, if he's physical with you or tries to convince you to do things you don't want to do, these are all signs of abuse."
