Evan Rachel Wood is continuing to share details of her experiences with abuse and sexual assault.

On Monday, the “Westworld” star tweeted details of abuse she experienced at the hands of an ex-boyfriend as part of a Twitter movement that hopes to spread awareness of domestic violence.

“The day of this photoshoot, I was so weakened by an abusive relationship. I was emaciated, severely depressed, and could barely stand. I fell into a pool of tears and was sent home for the day. #IAmNotOk,” she tweeted alongside photos from the aforementioned shoot.

In a subsequent tweet, 31-year-old Wood shared a photo of the physical scars left behind from self-inflicted wounds she made in order to stop her abusive ex.

“2 years into my abusive relationship I resorted to self harm [sic]. When my abuser would threaten or attack me, I cut my wrist as a way to disarm him,” she explained. “It only made the abuse stop temporarily. At that point I was desperate to stop the abuse and I was too terrified to leave. #IAmNotOk.”

Following President Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, Wood revealed she had been raped twice but never revealed her abusers. Some criticized the actress for not coming forward immediately following the attacks, causing her to explain in a lengthy video why she and other victims keep their traumatic experiences to themselves.

“People are wondering why women don’t come forward sooner or why they come out in numbers is because it’s safer. They don’t feel safe enough to do so, period,” Wood explained. “I’m guilty of this as well because I have not named my abusers not because I don’t plan on saying these people’s names eventually but because to start that process is an emotionally draining, financially draining, really everything draining thing to do and to go through.

“I want to do it … when I’m ready.”
