A year after rejoining the singles group, Brittany Snow is opening up about her challenges and those who supported her through the difficult period.
The entertainer is best known for her phenomenal portrayal of iconic characters like a cappella singer Chloe Beale in the “Pitch Perfect” franchise. Outside of Hollywood, the actress actively raises awareness for charitable causes.
While promoting her mind-aware book, “Letters from September,” co-written by Jasper Guest, the 37-year-old apparently hinted at her divorce from Tyler Stanaland. The former couple separated after two years of marriage in September 2022.
Brittany Snow reveals that a former co-star nursed her back to health after having an emotional breakdown
In a recent conversation with Bustle, The Young Artist Award winner reflected on the tumultuous year that took a toll on her mental health as she discussed her new book, “Letters from September.” Although she did not directly mention her divorce from the real estate broker, the TV personality claimed that her life was turned upside down on one particular day.
“Last year, I went through probably the toughest mental health challenge I have ever faced. In one day, in a matter of hours, my life was completely turned upside down,” Snow confessed, apparently confirming that he never expected to part ways with the professional surfer.
“They shocked me, and everything I thought I knew, held sacred, and really trusted in my life was completely different. A couple of days later, my grandmother passed away and I think she proved everything she knew about mental health,” the Tampa native continued.
Although she was suddenly faced with a roller coaster of harrowing emotions, the “Guiding Light” star survived thanks to her amazing friends. Recognizing the power of having a strong support system, the entertainer said:
“Thank God for my friends. I don’t know if he would have made it without them. They reminded me of who I was and the things I stood for. I used all the tools I knew. All of them.”
Some of the friends responsible for helping the 37-year-old get through last year were her “Pitch Perfect” co-stars. When talking about her sisters a cappella of hers, Snow stated that her relationship transcended beyond the big screen to real life.
“When you’re promoting a movie, it’s always like, ‘Oh, we’re all best friends and we all love each other,’ because that helps sell the movie. But in this case, we became close friends, if not family,” the blue-eyed goddess explained.
Recalling a heartbreaking moment from 2022, the Love Is Louder movement co-founder chose not to identify one particular co-star who played a big role in her recovery from her “complicated” divorce.
“The last year has been rough for me, and one of the girls just, you know, opened the door, and I fell on the floor and cried and lay there,” the Tampa native revealed. “And she nursed me back to health for about four days.”
Praising this unnamed “Pitch Perfect” star with praise, the anti-bullying advocate confessed that she never thought her co-star would be able to provide the support she did. This lesson was so significant that Snow added it to her book.
“I think that’s what’s important about this book, knowing that something you can have in your toolbox is a community of friends who will just sit on the floor with you,” the media personality explained. “They don’t need to give you advice. You don’t need to get it fixed. They’re just there.”
The director of ‘Parachute’ commemorated her first post-divorce birthday with an emotional tribute
Before her candid interview, Snow opened up about her split from Stanaland on her 37th birthday. in March. The age milestone marked the artist’s first trip around the sun after the former lovebirds ended their two-year romance.
The “John Tucker Must Die” actress marked the occasion on Instagram, sharing a photo of herself in the back seat of a car. The TV personality donned a beige coat with gorgeous hair cascading gently over her shoulders.
Although the image radiated sweetness, the legend of the Boston Film Festival Award winner showed her bittersweet emotions. “This year has been hard and beautiful. As I get older, I am stronger than I ever knew (except my back seems weaker and it hurts a lot more),” the humanitarian wrote.
Despite the pain of her past, the “Would You Rather?” she pointed out that she was grateful rather than sorry. “I am very grateful for all these days. Thanks for the birthday love my friends,” the Teen Choice Awards winner concluded in her birthday message.
