Oh my God, watching this interview after her statement on Instagram is so sad and painful... how she made an anecdote of that horrible accident... she’s so strong, I admire her so much.

Breaks my heart to see that she had to lie in this interview to hide what that piece of sh*t did to her, i can’t even imagine what was going through her head at that moment. She is truly a real-life supergirl!! ❤️

How she had to lie about the story of how she hurt her eye when it was actually her abusive boyfriend that hit her 😖

anyone come here after hearing the news? :(

“Behind every sweet smile, there is a bitter sadness that no one can ever see and feel." I hate Blake for being responsible for Melissa's bitter sadness.

this interview isn't the same anymore..

Melissa is so awesome. She's got an amazing personality, she's talented at acting, and not to mention she's absolutely beautiful.

After i saw her insta.. she really is supergirl. How difficult it was for her to tell the world.. and how she is now.. just wow. I admire her so much. For me she is supergirl. So proud of her ❤❤

Came after seeing her Instagram post. Makes you realize how you can never tell if someone is covering up a hidden pain. Such a strong lady! I’m glad she got out of that relationship.

This interview is soooo hard to watch after today. She is so strong unbelievable

She's just always so happy. I love it. She's so cute.

love her laugh! so cute!

She has a very kind and beautiful face. Great smile . Perfect for playing Supergirl.

She's so gorgeous! Always loved her since Glee

Anybody remember her from Glee?

It's just heartbreaking that she smiled and laughed and joked about the story but in reality she was hiding the truth to protect him and i personally want to see him rot in hell, no one deserves that, especially not Melissa

She's so adorable, I freaking love her!

What a lovely young woman.

Seriously when they first aired the promo I sat there in Awe and shock thinking..."She IS Supergirl" Others have done the part well but Melissa really IS Supergirl!

What a sweetheart and SO PRETTY!

It’s crazy that her smile was faked throughout this interview

she kinda looks like Blake Lively

I just went to comic-con and saw and met her!!! She is the nicest person on earth. So heart felt

Her body language from 0:58 seems so natural, unlike other quests who are usually very restrained.

I don't know why this popped up in my recommendations just now but I'm glad it did. She is just the sweetest, most awesome person. I know that a lot of times actors can put up that front in interviews and what not but she is the real deal, genuinely joyous to be around. Even with what she was going through at the time, you would never know by watching this. So brave and positive, what an inspiring human being!

I love this girl. Such a sweetheart.

She seems genuinely nice just like on Supergirl her and Grant both have this trait.

You know, I remember watching Supergirl when her ex was on, playing her love interest. I couldn't figure out why and I put it down to bad acting. But there was something really off in their scenes together. Now the truth comes out. *Sigh*

Omg! I remember doing that in PE too lol😂😂

No one can resist Melissa...! She is always so sincerely happy.

The fact the she lied about the story just to protect her ex made me really sad 😭

I love her so much! I’ve been rewatching glee and I’m on season 4 with Marley and I just can’t stop seeing Melissa as Marley. She played her so well and does some things in this (body movement, some stuff she says etc) that really is something Marley would do. She is an exstordiany actress and singer and she plays all of her roles so well! Love you Mel!

Saw her back in 2010/11 on The Good Wife and felt in love with her since then. She's so adorable and dorky, totally in love with this women and glad she's doing great!

Aw Melissa is soooo cute :D

I remember watching this interview and thinking her injury was just a freak accident. I am so impressed that the Tonight Show team removed the vide for public access. Very kind on their part.

Watching this after her statement on instagram makes watching this so hard

Met her at C2E2 yesterday, and she is absolutely one of the nicest people I've ever met! 😍

The fact she had to cover up the story about her eye breaks my heart ❤️🥺 So glad she’s in a healthy relationship now 🤩❤️

Who's here after finding out about her black eye she talked about in her IG story? #IStandwithMelissa

I remember a youtuber (like a small one) knows melissa's sister and she tell us that melissa was so nice. It breaks my heart that it happened to her. She is so strong and i'm happy that she is in a better place now.

After her igtv this makes me love her so much and wanna hug her 😭❤️ 🦸‍♀️ Melissa Benoist ur the real SUPERGIRL reeland real both Proud to be a fan ❤️❤️

Makes me sad that she had to lie 😥 this is not okay #istandwithmelissa

Her laugh is life, it is so contagious and real.. Love her she is adorable

I love her laugh. It's so real. :)

i remember watching this interview for the first time laughing, now it’s just heartbreaking. #istandwithmelissa ❤️

Her laugh is so infectious... Absolutely in love with her 😍

this interview hits different now

i love Melissa Benoist.

I you don't have something nice to say, say nothing, because Melissa is such a sweet and nice girl. Just look at her, how could you hate on such a sweeheart. She's so good as Supergirl and the show is amazing. One of my favs btw. Oh and her clothing? It's amazing too and she is so beautiful it's unfair*-*

her laugh 😂

I remember doing the cup stacking unit in PE when I was little. Probably one of my favorite units. Absolutely love Melissa!! 💕

Still waiting for Grant Gustin to come on jimmy Fallon

1:00 look the way she stand up, so strange and unusual. She must have been hurt 😥. You must take a look at this.

It is honestly heartbreaking to watch this after seeing her video and listening to her tell about her past experience with domestic abuse. My heart goes out to her #istandwithmelissa

knowing that she lied at the interview about her eye injury wrecks my heart honestly. She is Supergirl and that’s for sure. She even used the anecdote her abuser used when she was in hospital and still stayed strong. #istandwithmelissa

The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears, and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain #ISTANDWITHMELISSA

That girl is so beautiful.... I don't care about the show, I just watch it cause she is such eye candy.

Came here right after i heard the news wtfffff!!!! im so shook right now. I love this girl so muchhhhhhhh #istandwithmelissa

She is awesome and a strong willed woman. She is one person I would truly love to meet and not because she is a celebrity, but because she has good character and seems like a genuinely good person at heart. She has been through a lot for a woman her age and I admire her for not letting it get her down and ruin or define her or her life.

JIMMY BRING MELISSA BACK AGAIN TO YOUR SHOW PLEASE 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻♥️

Her laugh is honestly the cutest thing ever

I love this girl her humor, personality, care for others and her extreme talent and definitely how cute and pretty she is. Watching supergirl right now and it is amazing so much better than other superhero shows, the difference between them is that they show so much more emotion and on how they scripted it makes me feel like I’m having that relationship

Homeland, Season 1 =)

omg ever since i watched the first season of supergirl ive just been obsessed with melissa! she is so amazing and beautiful!

Supergirl has been improving each episodes. the first 3 episodes weren't that great and then it becomes better and better each episodes. Love her as KARA! :D

We love you Melissa ❤️

I first knew her from Glee, now shes Supergirl!

I love Melissa, she’s so amazing

She was partially blind when she was filming this.

She was awesome. Everyone watch Supergirl its amazing.

I am so sorry you had to go through this, stay strong beautiful woman ♥️

She is one of my favorite people. her laugh is just adorable!!!!

Just another one of Melissa Benoist's talents

She needs to do Pup Quiz the next time she's here

It's amazing how aware Jimmy is of the audience. You can see him purposely doing his stack slowly so that when Melissa does it the audience will react strongly. The same thing happens in the guessing games on his show like Pictionary or Password where even when he knows the answer right away he will draw it out to get a better reaction from the crowd. It's really quite a talent.

She will always be the best and prettiest Supergirl ever.

i can’t believe the pain she was going through

I'm also here from her Instagram video.😢😢😢 But also inspired from her bravery.♥️♥️♥️

I LOVE MELISSA BENOIST! ! ! ! ! ! ! 😍😍😘😘😙😙

Fun and natural. Awesome actress.

LOL THEY MADE ME STACK CUPS TOO 😂😂😂😂

I gotta say, i loved her laugh.

99% of the reason I watch the show is because of her

She is so gorgeous..and her smile and laughter.

That's was hot! How fast she did those cups was hot! And she's certainly very HOT!!

oh her Laugh 💕💕💕❤

I'm just tearing man she's a real hero❤️

Her laughter is So engaging and enticing .. Melissa, you bring light and joy to more souls than you imagine😀 .

I can’t believe he did that to her.. how can you hurt such a beautiful soul. #istandwithmelissa

God damn, this interview breaks my heart now after knowing what really happened to her eye :( Melissa is truly a real life supergirl. It breaks my heart how she was being badly physically and emotionally abused right under our noses and nobody knew. Sad to see how people are victim-blaming Melissa when Blake literally admitted to abusing Melissa and hurting her eye. Blake literally created a PERMANENT injury to her eye. In 2014 up to October, if you look at her pupils, you can see they are both normal size but then if you look at pictures of her eyes during October 2014 to ALL of 2015-2016 (October 2014 and all of 2015 and 2016 until they divorced in 2016, is when the abuse was happening) you can tell one pupil is much larger than the other, just zoom in on her eyes and it's clear as day now. It breaks my heart how it was happening right in front of our eyes and we didn't notice it. Melissa didn't deserve to go through all that abuse 💔 I'm glad she's safe now and away from Blake. She now has a handsome baby boy and an amazing husband who would never hurt her like Blake. Chris better treated Melissa properly, she's already been through a lot.

this interview will never be the same...

Melissa, I love you so much🥺

we really don't know what the fuck is going on close doors. Talk with your friends, there's always an exit, you are not alone.

Guys, I think I have X ray vision...

I did this today in PE lol😂 I was next to my friend and her cups were flying everywhere lol😂😂😂

So sad to hear that the series is ending😭

She's fast with her hands... I like that In a woman

i’m watching this today and they took out the part about her eye

I kmow it was a long time ago But #istandwithmelissa She amazing person and will always be my rolemodel / idol😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Shes sooo adorable 😍
