AnnaLynne McCord was a victim of sexual assault when she was younger and she says the experience affected her relationship with Kellan Lutz.
The 29-year-old Secrets and Lies actress dated Kellan, her 90210 co-star, from 2008 to 2011, but she says it was hard trusting him as she didn’t trust anybody.
“I could have had some better relationships. I mean, quite frankly, if we’re going to get really honest, I didn’t trust anybody,” AnnaLynne told Us Weekly. “I was with someone not long after this happened who I was on and off with for a couple years – Kellan Lutz. I was with Kellan Lutz, and I never trusted that he actually loved me. And he loved me so much.”
“We thankfully became friends after when I finally figured all of this out,” AnnaLynne added. “And I said, ‘I’m so sorry that I was literally an evil B�’I�’T�’C�’H to you.’ But we had our own things. We were very young. But really the biggest issue with our relationship was me. And it was that I didn’t think that he actually loved me. And he really, really – I don’t know if anyone has loved me that much.”
AnnaLynne, who has been in a long-term, on-and-off relationship with Dominic Purcell for the last few years, also opened up about the romantic things Kellan would do for her.
“He was so romantic [when we dated]. He did all this stuff, and I kept thinking, ‘What do you want from me? What are you trying to get out of me?’” she said. “But that’s what you do when you’re a hurting person, you hurt other people. And when you’re a healed person, you heal other people. And he taught me about love.”
