Keira Knightley Gets Beaten Up!

OMG! This is super scary but we're glad Keira Knightley had the guts to do it! In the short video below, Keira is attacked by her abusive boyfriend in a domestic violence ad for the charity Women's Aid.

The ad shows Keira leaving work after a long day of filming, and when she gets home, her boyfriend beats the crap out of her because he thinks she's having an affair with a co-star.

At the end of the video, viewers see that the location is an empty film set rather than an apartment, and as the beating continues, the ad says, "Isn't it time someone called cut?"

Keira volunteered to do it because "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."

Rihanna, are you listening?



What do you think of this ad?

hey dumb ass ... she is NOT making fun of Ri and btw Ri does need a wake up call. Most women who find themselves in an abusive relationship have difficulty getting out of it... don't talk about what you don't know about stfu.

by the looks of Robin's face after her beatdown it seems having brothers didn't help her one bit huh 753?

that is exactly how it works..I wish someone would listen to the tapes I recorded over a period of years and then one can hear the horror as an abusive man is showing the control and fear he uses to keep, well me, in a relationship. I hope to one day do a website to show women what it sounds like when an abuser is on the attack..My ex beat the hell out of me when I was pregnant and tried to kill the baby..now he wants more time with our son. These men have a pattern of behavior and my tapes are an audio diary of what they do. The tapes are scarey sad and even funny when in hindsite I see now how pathetic he is. He only beats women when he gets himself a relationship and thankfully that is few and far between. I finally had the nerve to have him charged with assault when he punched me in the forehead while holding a screwdriver. I made the mistake of beleiving him when he said I could come over and get stuff for the baby. Yeah, I went back to him but it wasn't for love after that, it was to try and get some of the money he stole from me back and it was also to document and record the horror.

Why is Rhianna the poster child for domestic violence now? Like all of a sudden there should be awareness just because SHE got beat up? Domestic violence is wrong, but I think that it is sad that some people are taking notice now just because of her almost like it is trendy.

She looks delicious!! love her very much. I saw her at dating site ____ W e a l t h y D a t e r. c o m___last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.

THat is lame, and Rihanna it was reported, was the abuse one in this relationship. Someone needs to do a tape like that for her to watch.

I love Keira for doing this. It's great she is talking/raising awareness about this. Rihanna should be doing this, but she's to stupid to for it

Rihanna is having too good a time to do
a abuse video even though it only happened once. Whatever happened to helping ALL VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE..WHY NOT
MENTION WHERE TO GO FOR HELP..IT IS NOT
FUN WATCHING THESE VIDEOS.. AS IF IT WOULD HELP ANYONE..!!

You freaking idiots! They're doing this as an awareness to all the Rihannas around the world! There should've never been a "first time" abuse for her or every woman out there BUT THE FACT that she went back to him just a week after the "incident" is worse! It's good that video like this is finally coming out. It's sending a message out there that domestic violence is NEVER okay! And yes, with Rihanna's poor judgment, she is the perfect "POSTER CHILD" for the ad! I hope this will give her a very GOOD wake up call!

GUESS WHAT WORLD IT DID NOT ONLY IS SHE
NOT WITH CHRIS BROWN ANYMORE SHE IS NOW
TAKING THE JLO ROUTE WITH HER SUV AND
BODYGUARDS AND DRESSING THE PART OF A
SLUT AS USUAL.. SHE WILL NEVER BE WITH
HIM ANYMORE.. SO DON'T CALL HER A VICTIM
WHAT WAKE UP CALL SHE IS ALONE AND ALWAYS WILL BE WITH HER BODY GUARDS WHO
PROTECT HER FROM NOW ON AT THE CLUBS AT
4 IN THE MORNING.. POSTER CHILD IS SOMEONE THAT IS REALLY ABUSED ..NOT HER.

As a former victim of domestic violence, I WILL say NOBODY IS "MAKING FUN" OF ANYBODY with that public announcement!!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW THIS BEHAVIOR IS PREVALENT ALL OVER THE WORLD AND NOT ONE PERSON IS IMMUNE, "FAMOUS" OR NOT!!!!

This video is to show that it can happen to ANYONE. Including celebs. Huge props for Keir, She did great in this video it even made me cringe.

What a powerful message Keira sends out in this ad. Let's just hope her attempts to reach victims of domestic violence see it, hear it and act on it. Good for you Keira!

Knightley is honestly one of the best and smartest actresses around. I love her for doing this important ad and calling attention to domestic violence which affects MANY women (Note to pointdexter with the first message, this isn't about Rihanna, but women like Rihanna who keep getting beaten up).

That video is seriously powerful. And I think this is a most important message in our times. We have to stop domestic violence.

i loved this ad i think it will really help awareness for women to make them realise that they are not alone and they can be helped. also all those people who are saying it is making fun of women in this situation have a hard think have you ever been in that situation. i would consider myself to be a strong woman but i fell in love with the wrong guy he became violent not to that extent but still abuse is abuse. someone posted 'who grew up with brothers know how to defend themselves' what about those of us who do not have brothers? and remember you love your brother as a brother but you arent in love and sleep with your brother your partner is your life and all that is for you you deserve to be loved and some women go through this because they love them and dont know how to handle the situation. well done Kira and everyone else who is trying to raise awareness in this area BRAVO!!!!!

Wow a very moving ad. I hope it wakes up some women in the situation, unfortunately, because they have low self esteem from verbal abuse that has gone on longer, the likely hood of a lot of victims is that they won't change and move away from the abusive partner.
To the idiot who thinks Rhihanna is not a victim, are you her ex or just someone that abuses other people? You seem like you have the mentallity of an abusive partner. If someone is raped once are they not a victim? If someone is beaten once are they not a victim? Even if they are stupid enough to go back to their partner, they are still a victim!







This part is optional!
