Lottie Moss has revealed she was “traumatized” after being body-shamed on set during her early modeling years.

In a new candid piece for GlamorThe 24-year-old model admitted that her agents used to “laugh” at her every time she ate on set or at castings, even telling her she would have to slim down to a 23-inch waist to walk the runway.

Lottie, who admitted she is “lucky” not to have developed an eating disorder, admitted that when she looks back on her runway snapshots, she looks “so underweight.”

In her article, Lottie explained that when she first signed with her modeling agency, they told her she needed a personal trainer.

She added: “As Fashion Week approached, I was told I had to get to a 23-inch waist and 30-inch hips if I had any hope of walking the runway. I’m 5-foot-5.

“Every time I ate on set or at castings, my agents would laugh at me. They’d say, ‘Here’s the ‘ham and cheese sandwich girl’ again,’ or ‘She’s eating another ham and cheese sandwich!’ And I just laughed.

‘Back then, I didn’t realize how traumatic being a girl was; all the things they said to me I am incredibly lucky not to have developed an eating disorder.

Lottie added that she managed to slim down to a 23-inch waist, but now realizes it was “not healthy” and blamed it as the start of “a lot of problems” for her.

The star admitted that she would take modeling jobs she didn’t want to do, due to pressure from her agents, and after falling into a deep depression, she suffered a mental breakdown in April 2021.

Lottie later revealed that after moving to Los Angeles, she began posing for risqué photos on OnlyFans, but was still numb from her cravings with drugs and alcohol, eventually checking into rehab in February.

Lottie previously claimed that her stint in rehab earlier this year for her cocaine addiction was “the best thing she’s ever done” for her mental health.

Kate Moss’s half-sister explained in Jamie Laing’s Private Parts Podcast how she had been hiding her battle with depression for months before her mother Inger and her best friend encouraged her to seek professional help at the center as well.

‘I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. I stopped modeling; She was doing some OnlyFans but not really. I didn’t recognize myself,” she said.

I had never talked about my true feelings for things. You have to tell people how you feel, whether it’s your therapist, your parents, or your friends.

“Talking about the things you’ve been through is very important because if you don’t, you can’t heal yourself, you can never get over it, it just rots in your brain. And then you start blaming yourself for things. It is a poison.
