. But privately, she battled trauma from sexual assault, addiction, and emotional abuse. And in her debut memoirUntil publishing this book, which was released on July 27, Suvari has stayed silent about her trauma. “All I did was wrap it up and scream all alone, because [I thought] nobody wanted to hear about it,” she recalls. But to writeSuvari shed the double life she once lived, and leaned into a writing process rooted in catharsis and self-discovery.
Despite her young age, Suvari was often typecast early in her career as the sexpot. And many of those roles ultimately mirrored how she felt about herself at the time. As she pursued acting in Los Angeles, her well-being was entrusted to industry professionals who used her body and image. A photographer allegedly took naked photos of her when she was underage and kept them for himself.
During that time, she contracted herpes. She spent years seeking comfort and protection from men, only to be taken advantage of or stuck in codependent, abusive relationships. She wasn’t in control of her desire; her body didn’t belong to her, she says. “What I learned wasTo cope with her trauma over the years, Suvari self-medicated with marijuana and meth. There was also a time when she had prepared a suicide note, something she rediscovered while combing through her journals.

While she’s been contemplating developing a project about being a mom, her memoir made her realize she wants to continue writing. “There’s so much more that I want to talk about, especially in relation to motherhood,” she says. Writing this book has allowed Mena Suvari to emerge from the shadows. She’s ready for her next chapter.
