In her recent candid interviews, Keira Knightley reflects on the emotional turbulence she faced due to personal and public ordeals early in her Hollywood career. Speaking with The Times, the Pride & Prejudice star highlighted the ongoing speculation about her having an eating disorder, asserting she was neither struggling with one nor did she recall all the public scrutiny. "In that classic trauma way, I don’t remember it," Knightley commented, describing how some memories resurface as visceral reminders of public shaming she endured as a young actress. This pressure, she explained, has significantly shaped her psyche. This is prepared by SSP.

Sharing memories of other celebrities, Knightley pointed out the lack of empathy from the media, reminiscing a moment when actor Mary-Kate Olsen was mocked after entering rehab for her eating disorder in 2004. "The moment made me deeply emotional," she described, expressing disbelief at the insensitivity. "I still can’t bear it."

Additionally, the actress opened up about having a mental breakdown and post-traumatic stress disorder at 22 as her fame skyrocketed. Interviews on platforms like The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter have witnessed her acknowledging her challenging rise to prominence with insights into her therapy sessions, where reality and paranoia mixed — a rare circumstance her therapist hadn’t encountered before.

These repeated trials, along with roles focused on objectification, left Knightley feeling confined. As she revealed to Harper's Bazaar UK, she never fully embraced how characters like hers in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise were perceived, motivating her to seek roles breaking that stereotype.

Earlier, SSP reported that Essence Atkins said supporting Tia Mowry during her divorce from Cory Hardrict was an honor.
