"Ugly Betty" star used to get abused

As part of the Tell A Gal P.A.L. campaign from the Allstate Foundation, Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz (who plays Hilda on the show) has opened up and admitted that she was in an abusive relationship while she was in her 20's. She supports the Tell a Gal P.A.L. campaign and decided to share her story to prove that it's possible to get passed abuse and still succeed and achieve your goals and dreams.

I think it's seriously awesome when celebrities step forward with stuff like this, because it shows just how normal they can be and how they can relate to everyday people like you and me.
