The Supergirl actress does not tell who the perpetrator was. In a video, Melissa tells about an incident in which her ex-partner threw a phone in her face and broke her nose and damaged her eye. Because she had recordings the next day, her then partner and the actress made up a story to explain her injuries. She also says she has declined auditions and job offers because her ex did not want her to shoot scenes in which she kissed or flirted with other men.

By sharing my story, hopefully I can empower others to seek help and extricate themselves from abusive relationships.
