I missed the scene when Frankie said she can't have kids


What was the reason why she couldn't have kids? I missed that part.

Not seen the film in a while but if I recall correctly, there was a scene in Frankie's apartment where she confesses to Johnny that her ex was physically abusive.

He was the reason, she steered clear from dating and was weary of men.

He used to beat her regularly (she shows Johnny her scars) and one time he beat her whilst she was pregnant.

She lost the baby but the miscarriage, along with the beatings caused complications and so she couldn't have anymore children.
