Anna Kendrick opened up about her experience with a cheating ex during a recent episode of Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast.
According to Kendrick, her now ex-boyfriend previously denied that he was romantically interested in another woman, but Kendrick's suspicions were later confirmed when she found a "year-long text exchange" between him and the other woman.
"It was actually way worse than I even thought," the "Pitch Perfect" star said of finding the texts, adding that the discovery made her realize: "Oh, I was right about everything."
Per Entertainment Tonight, Kendrick told Shepard and co-host Monica Padman that she subsequently confronted her ex about the cheating, which he continued to deny.
"When I confronted him on it, he said, 'I don't know what you're talking about.' Which, again, was kind of a relief, because you go — 'Oh, you're pathological. This is in black and white,'" Kendrick said, according to ET.
The actor went on to email the "young woman" who her ex was involved with and explain the situation to her.
"'I just think it's fair that you know that I know. I don't put this at your doorstep. You made a mistake, but you're 25,'" Kendrick recalled telling the other woman. Kendrick also told the woman that she was available should the 25-year-old want to chat.
"To her eternal credit, she was like, 'Yes, can I call you?' We talked on the phone for about an hour and she was just like, 'I'm so embarrassed and I'm so sorry... This was a mistake,'" Kendrick revealed.
Kendrick ultimately received the confirmation she needed to leave her ex and end the relationship for good.
"It gets hard to forgive myself because I should've just been like, 'Get the fuck out of my house.' But I think that I would've always wondered, 'Was that fair?... Was I being unreasonable?' had I not gotten to this capital T truth," she told Shepard and Padman of the ordeal.
Kendrick didn't name the ex in question during the episode. In the past, the "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" star has been reportedly linked to director Edgar Wright, cinematographer Ben Richardson, and "Saturday Night Live" star Bill Hader.
