Keira Knightley is seen being beaten by her boyfriends in an ad to raise awareness for domestic violence. The 2 minute commercial shows Keira coming home to an angry and jealous boyfriend who hits, kicks and slaps her. The actress took part in the ad directed by her “Atonement” pal Joe Wright for the charity, Women’s Aid.

Us Magazine Quotes Knightley:

“While domestic violence exists in every section of society we rarely hear about it. Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week.”

This ad coincidentally comes on the heals of the Rihanna and Chris Brown saga. The pop princess was beaten by her boyfriend and left in a bloody mess after a fight in Brown’s car erupted. RiRi is just one of many stars to suffer domestic abuse. Robin Givens suffered at the hands of Mike Tyson. Tina Turner took years of abuse from her husband, Ike. Sharon Osbourne was beaten by her own father several times. Whitney Houston also claims her husband, Bobby Brown, hit her on several occasions.

Keira’s ad will air in theaters starting April 6th.
