Some relationships are toxic for everyone, whether it's because of gaslighting, manipulating, or a tendency to constantly break up and then get back together. Even celebrities have admitted to being in toxic relationships. They've had the courage and strength to leave toxic relationships behind.

See what celebrities had to say about toxic relationships...

1. Lily Collins

Lily Collins claims she once was in a toxic marriage where she suffered "verbal abuse and emotional abuse," which made her feel "very little." Lily Collins says that her ex-boyfriend silenced and fueled her emotions of "panic", "anxiety", and she still feels it even though she is now in a healthy, happy relationship.

She said, "He called me Little Lily '...and used awful words about what I wore and would call a whore. There were horrible words and there were insulting words. "I became very quiet and felt comfortable in my silence. I also felt like I needed to shrink myself to feel safe."

2. Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid broke a cycle that was a toxic and abusive relationship. She claims that her tendency to please people led her to let unhealthy relationships affect all areas of her life. She believes that the problem stems from her childhood, when men made her feel like her voice was not as important as theirs.

Hadid explained on "VS Voices," the Victoria's Secret Podcast, that she was constantly going back to men and women who had abused her. "I stopped having boundaries. Not only physically, sexually or emotionally but also in my workplace ....I became a people pleaser. I put my value into other's hands, and that was to my detriment."

Bella eventually broke the cycle with therapy, meditation and a commitment to a "true life" by removing herself from social media.

3. Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish says that she felt trapped the most in her life when she was "in an emotionally abusive relationship." Billie Eilish wrote her song "Your Power," about the situation. She told British Vogue, that it was "an open message to men who take advantage of women."

"I'd like people to pay attention to me." It's important to listen, and not try to guess who I am talking about. It's not about a single person. You may think that it's because of her work in the music business, but no. "It's everywhere," explained she. I don't think there's a woman or girl who hasn’t had an odd experience or a bad experience. Men are also abused - young boys.

4. Debby Ryan

Debby Ryan had to deal with a toxic friendship in the past, but it wasn't with a romantic partner. She claims that the friendship became more and more abusive over time. She says that the friend called her up to forty times when they were not together, and threatened harm to himself if she did not spend time with them.

"I said, 'I am a powerful producer and a woman.' It was happening to my face. I had no idea that it would. Debby said, "It was late when I realized this wasn't healthy. This was a bad situation. I was in a relation that was abusive by nature."

5. Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon, a teenage girl, was in a toxic romantic relationship that eroded her self-esteem. She says it was hard, but she made the decision to leave before it further affected her.

Reese told OWN's Super Soul Conversations that "a line was drawn in the sand and crossed. My brain switched and I knew I would have a very difficult time, but I couldn't continue." I was also a completely different person. It changed me on a cellular scale, and the fact that i stood up for myself. Leaving these situations isn't easy, because you're filled with self doubt, especially if someone has damaged your self-esteem... I didn't even have self-esteem. "I'm a completely different person."

6. Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks was once in a toxic marriage where she and her partner broke up repeatedly and then got back together. She says that they "broke up" 14-15 times and that "there were certain things he said" which made her feel like she had to "go back" to their relationship after they separated. She says that her ex was aware of the power she had over him.

"He told that he did that. He knows how to bring a woman low. It took me so many friends and family members to finally say goodbye," she said on TV One's Uncensored.

7. Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj, reflecting on a toxic relationship from the past, spoke out to help women in toxic relationships. She encouraged her fans to support women who want to know their value, rather than tear them down.

Nicki tweeted: "I used to believe that love hurt. A man should make you comfortable, not scared. "A man that loves you will not: 1. You on social media. 2. You will be beaten, 3. You cheat on, 4. You will be called out by name or put down in order to lower his self-esteem because of his own insecurities. Hide his passwords, location, phone, etc.

8. Olivia Culpo

Olivia Culpo opened up on her show, "The Culpo Sisters," about a toxic relationship in which her partner had done "really terrible, horrible things." She claims that she was made to feel "less-than-human in every sense." Olivia admits that she had not anticipated discussing the unhealthy relationship.

"The floodgates opened somehow and it just spewed and I am proud to talk about that", she told E! News. News. It's only right to thank yourself for such traumatic experiences. You become stronger. "They make you stronger and help you to appreciate what you already have and not repeat the same mistakes."
