Winona Ryder is an actress that has had her fair share of hard times, especially in the 90s while her career was heightening alongside a breakup from fellow actor Johnny Depp and so much more. She spoke up recently about how difficult those times were and what she was going through, and it’s definitely information worth thinking on for anybody else struggling similarly in life. Here’s a bit about Winona Ryder’s breakup with Johnny Depp and other 90s struggles.
The main message behind what was going on with Winona in the early 90s while starring in a film called The House of the Spirits was that she realized she needed to be much easier on herself and take better care of herself. The actress was in therapy, and trying to learn how to change the way she was towards herself.
Much of the times were quite private for Ryder, and now looking back she said it was such a better place for her mentally that she never realized because of how stressful it was in the moment. It was a lot easier to keep things a little more private about her life and to work through her own struggles internally.
Now, the media stalks a great deal of celebrity lives. But in that time there was more limited media presence and activity. Things like tabloid culture were prevalent, but platforms like social media were hardly as developed as they are in current times. It made a lot of celebrity lives a bit easier but still wasn’t easy in those times.
There still has been little to be truly said about how Winona and Johnny were as a couple, or why they broke up. From what she said in looking back, it seems that the issue was more of how Ryder was struggling than how the two were as a couple. But nobody can really be sure.
Since then, Winona has been together with somebody outside of the celebrity world now for over a decade. She spoke a little on this, saying it was nice to be able to be with somebody she really connects with and that is outside of the world of showbiz for once.
Fans of Winona or of Johnny Depp liked knowing more about what happened during and following the two’s big breakup in the early 90s, but Ryder had plenty more to share that wasn’t just discussing her love life. This gave a candid and genuine insight to how life can be really difficult for everybody, even celebs, and how important it is to take care of yourself through all stages in your mental or physical journey and well being in life.
