Wood has spent the last half-decade using her celebrity in the form of activism against domestic violence.
âMy experience with domestic violence was this: Toxic mental, physical and sexual abuse which started slow but escalated over time, including threats against my life, severe gaslighting and brainwashing, waking up to the man that claimed to love me raping what he believed to be my unconscious body,â she told the House Judiciary Subcommittee in 2018 without naming her abuser.
A year later, she testified in front of the California Senate in support of the Phoenix Act, which she created and which raises the statute of limitations on domestic violence to five years from three. There, she said her abuser âhad bouts of extreme jealousy, which would often result in him wrecking our home, cornering me in a room, and threatening me.â
