Maybe it's just because of the characters she chooses to portray (see Bend it Like Beckham, Pride & Prejudice, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) but I've always felt like Keira Knightley was the kind of person who doesn't let people push her around.

I think because of that impression, seeing her get kicked around was that much more shocking.
Good for her for doing this ad. As much as I hate to see her pretty face get all banged up, if it helps one abused woman get the guts to leaver her abuser, then it's well worth it.
