QUITTING TIME –
July 22, 2025 – The TV show host and model sat down to discuss how she knew it was time to make a change, the help she received, and what life looks like now. The star said she knew that “there was an issue that needed to be addressed”, but because “it’s not every day” and she still managed to keep her house “impeccable” and was “on top of everything”, she didn’t think it was affecting anyone.
“Drink became my friend” during tougher times, she said. “I had very, very, very punishing anxiety. One personal issue that had been ongoing for years in my life, that I’ve been trying to resolve and not being able to, and it just refused to go away, and it was going to result in some major changes in my life, and I just couldn’t see a way out. And so this was my solution.”
It was only when she started drinking earlier in the day and hiding her drinking that alarm bells started to ring.
“I would go and just neck neat rum from the bottle so that if my son, for any reason, was checking if I was drinking, he would drink the glass of mixer and go ‘oh, there’s no alcohol in that’. I know, it’s pretty hardcore,” she said.
