Charlize Theron has recently made bold declaration about toxic relationships.
While speaking on latest episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, the Old Guard 2 actress revealed that she would “lose herself” in the relationships in the past.
“I used to be a person that would watch herself, would also attract narcissists, men who wanted me to kind of treat them that way,” said the 49-year-old.
Charlize told the podcast host, “If I didn't, there was a lot of conflict, and I actually don't like conflict.”
“People are always surprised I don't like conflict, but when I feel like I feel like I have to choose between conflict or just placating, then I'll placate because I don't want the conflict,” explained the Mad Max: Fury Road actress.
When Alex asked how she would pull herself out from toxic relationships, Charlize replied, “Friends… Just great girlfriends.”
The fact is, sometimes you can’t see when you are in that kind of relationship and at that time “you need a friend who doesn’t hit you over the head” because you won’t leave, according to Hancock actress.
“You won’t leave that relationship until you don’t see it for yourself,” pointed out Charlize.
The Atomic Blonde actress noted that a good girlfriend understands that and they support you while you are in the darkness.
“I have put some girlfriends through hard time,” she stated.
Charlize added, “It’s so hard someone you love so much is constantly hitting their head on the same wall and all you want to do is remove them from the situation.”
Elsewhere on the podcast, the Bombshell actress talked about long-term relationship, saying, “Marriage is a long-term commitment, and I think I want long-term commitment.”
“I just don't need to get married… So, I just wanna clarify that,” she maintained.
