“I can’t speak for everyone, but it took me a long time to admit to myself what was going on, what it should be called. Denial is very strong,” Ricci toldThe Sunday Timeslast month. “Of course, you don’t want to accept that the worst possible thing is happening and that you put yourself in that situation. So it took me a really long time to realize that.”
“I think it is important to say thatI don’t feel like a victimin any way,” theEmmynominee also said. “I don’t feel sorry for myself. I don’t even feel like saying, ‘Well, it’s been a really hard road for me.’ "
“Everybody has their personal issues and this has been mine, and it has been about finding my own self-worth and position and strength and power. Itell my story only because I know that, having been in situations like the one I was in, I searched for success stories, stories of people who could get out, could get over it and just be okay,” said Ricci.
TheWednesdayactress raved about her new marriage in August while appearing onAnna Faris’Unqualifiedpodcast.
“I would say — and this sounds really annoying and cloying and stupid — but I would say the first time Ireally fell in love in a healthy wayis probably this marriage that I’m in now,” she said.
