Supermodel Molly Sims is calling out the brutal body standards she faced at the height of the so-called “heroin chic” era—and the Hollywood stars who pretended their looks came from water and sleep.
The 53-year-old model and actress opened up about the darker side of the modeling industry, particularly during the 1990s and early 2000s, in an Us Weekly interview published earlier this month. She recalled being pressured to shrink herself when dramatically underweight bodies were in style.
“It was devastating,” Sims, a two-time Vogue cover model, told the outlet. “I came in during a difficult era called ‘heroin chic.’ [The look] was about 20 pounds underweight and very goth.”
