Mandy Moore went from having a rapidly growing music and acting career, to essentially radio silence overnight.
It's only recently that she's reemerged better than ever, but what happened in between?
We're just now learning about all that she's dealt with.
In a New York Times story, Mandy has detailed how she put up with years of emotional and verbal abuse from her now ex-husband.
When the pair first met, Mandy was 23-years-old and at a turning point in her career, which she claims Ryan stifled.
He would discourage her from working with any other managers but himself, which left him in charge of her career.
Mandy revealed that Ryan would lash out in ways that she would call "psychologically abusive."
“His controlling behavior essentially did block my ability to make new connections in the industry during a very pivotal and potentially lucrative time — my entire mid-to-late 20s,” she revealed.
She opened herself up to other women who have also suffered any sort of trauma or abuse.
We love when women have other women's backs.
Even a young woman who went by the name of Ava, claimed that she and Ryan had "sexual conversations" when she was just a teenager.
Megan Butterworth, Ryan's ex-fiancée, described him as a "controlling and emotionally abusive partner."
He admitted that he had made mistakes, and apologized to anyone he "unintentionally" hurt.
He felt that the details in the article were misrepresented and even false, especially when it came to having interactions with underage women.
The 44-year-old musician has been facing some intense scrutiny online, which we're sure will only continue to develop as the story further unfolds.
