Brittany Snow opens up about one of the “biggest mental health challenges” she’s faced in the past year and how she’s counted on her friends for support.
Though Snow doesn’t give too many details, the former “American Dreams” star filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Tyler Stanaland, in January this year. The couple announced they had split four months earlier due to drama surrounding Netflix reality series Selling the OC.
“In the past year I have gone through what is probably the most difficult psychological challenge of my life. In one day, within hours, my life turned upside down,” Snow told Bustle. “I was taken by surprise and everything I thought I knew, held sacred and really trusted in my life was completely different.”
Snow continued, “A few days later my grandmother passed away and I think everything I knew about mental health was put to the test. Thank god for my friends. I don’t know if I could have made it without her. They reminded me of who I was and what I stood for. I used all the tools I knew. All of them.”
The actress said it was one of her Pitch Perfect co-stars who helped her through the difficult process she was facing.
“The last year has been really difficult for me and one of the girls, I just, you know, opened the door and just fell on the floor and just cried and lay there,” she added. “And she practically nursed me back to health for four days. And it wasn’t what I thought it was capable of either.”
Snow didn’t name the co-star who helped her, but stars who have worked in the musical franchise include Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Hailee Steinfeld, Kelley Jakle, Chrissie Fit, Shelley Regner and Hana Mae Lee.
