‘Psychological abuse’ and a public apology: Inside Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams’ relationship. – Mamamia

She said they “regularly” wrote songs together and Adams promised to record them, but he’d replace her with other female artists.
“He would always tell me, ‘You’re not a real musician, because you don’t play an instrument’,” she claimed.
In an interview with Marc Maron’s WTF podcast soon after, she elaborated by saying she was sad and lonely in the relationship.
“I was living my life for him,” Moore said. “I had no sense of self… It was so untenable and unsustainable and it was so lonely. I was so sad. I was lonely with him.”
Through his lawyer, Adams said Moore’s view of their marriage was “completely inconsistent with his view of the relationship”.
He disputed the entire Times investigation, which also claimed he had shared inappropriate messages with a teenage bassist.
He scrapped a planned tour and album after the report, and besides social media posts, Adams laid low until the Daily Mail published his apology statement.
“To a lot of people this will just seem like the same empty bull***t apology that I’ve always used when I was called out, and all I can say is, this time it is different,” he said.
“Having truly realised the harm that I’ve caused, it wrecked me, and I’m still reeling from the ripples of devastating effects that my actions triggered. 
“There is no way to convince people that this time is truly different, but this is the albatross that I deserve to carry with me as a result of my actions.”
He said he sought professional help and is now sober.
“I hope that the people I’ve hurt will heal. And I hope that they will find a way to forgive me,” he concluded.
In 2015, Moore began dating her now-husband Taylor Goldsmith.
She told Glamour she knew Goldsmith was the one, based on how he reacted to her relationship breakdown with Adams.
“I was still dealing with the trauma of my divorce when we started dating,” she explained.
“Taylor was steadfast in his support – that was a huge sign for me.”
Moore said Goldsmith makes her “melt”.
“I can imagine no better partner. He’s going to be the most tremendous father. I view the past as a stepping-stone to get me where I am today. I would gladly weather all of that a million times over if it brought me to Taylor again.”
