Ireland Baldwin opened up about a dark phase in her life when she struggled with substance abuse in a latest interview.
In a conversation with Red Table Talk, Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's daughter Willow Smith recalled a time when she was addicted to drugs.
She told Smith in a sneak peek from the upcoming episode, "I just hit a total breaking point and I was self-medicating with Xanax and I was drinking."
"There's a lot of alcohol and drug addiction in my family," said the 26-year-old model. "I had one night where I went too far to drink alcohol and take pills because I couldn't even go to bed at night."
She continued: "I had alienated all my real friends, ripped apart my family. I had no control over anything in my life. I tortured myself with the eating disorders that I had. ,
"I didn't talk to my parents for a year," Ireland recalled. "I saw them around but I was so ashamed of what I had become and how I was living."
The model concluded, "I just became this different person. I was kind of emaciated in every way. I was lifeless."
Ireland has been vocal about her struggle with drug abuse with her followers and fans. In 2020, she celebrated 6 years of being free from her eating disorders.
She posted a video on Instagram saying, "I wanted to announce that today is August 15th, and today marks six years since I broke free from anorexia and bulimia and all my other food compulsions and eating disorders With whom I have fought. For many years."
