There are a lot of things we adore Chrissy Teigen for: her hilarious Twitter game (Donald Trump blocked her over five simple words), her hosting prowess, her impeccable style and openness about everything from stretch marks to post-partum depression.
Recently speaking to Cosmopolitan, Teigen opened up about her drinking habits.
“I was, point blank, just drinking too much,” she revealed.
“I got used to being in hair and makeup and having a glass of wine. Then that glass of wine would carry over into me having one before the awards show. And then a bunch at the awards show.”
She continued: “And then I felt bad for making kind of an ass of myself to people that I really respected. And that feeling, there’s just nothing like that. You feel horrible. It’s not a good look for me, for John, for anybody.”
The star said she had a history of alcohol abuse in her family and that having “just have one drink” was difficult for her.
“Imagine everything we have…Everything is there, always. I don’t know how to go to an awards show and not drink,” she revealled.
Teigen explained her recent visit to a wellness retreat in Bali encouraged her to reevaluate her heath and drinking.
“I would wake up feeling amazing. My skin felt amazing. I was just so happy,” she said about going alcohol-free during the retreat.
