Lottie Moss bursts into tears as she details modelling struggles and addiction
Lottie Moss has opened up about her addiction struggles.
The former model and sister of supermodel Kate Moss found fame aged just 16, modelling for Teen Vogue before eventually turning her back on the industry. Now aged 26, Lottie has celebrated being four days sober but stated she is struggling to "navigate who she is". Lottie has previously opened up about turning to drink and drugs to rebel against modelling.
In a candid TikTok video shared with her followers, the star who now uses the subscription site OnlyFans to share snaps with fans also admitted that her decision to join was an act of rebellion. An emotional Lottie said: "Oh, I don't even know where to start. I think it's just really important to talk about things and like I'm not very active on social media, because I've been so bad in the past about it and I get some horrible comments about things.

I have struggled so much since I was young with depression, anxiety and problems with addiction and becoming a model and being in that industry made it very difficult for me not to feel that way and just succumb to drugs and alcohol whenever I felt sad."
The blonde bombshell continued: "I've been in a habit of doing that for the rest of my life up until now. And I've just got to a point where now I don't even know who I am and it's just like navigating your 20s f****** suck. I think sometimes you become this person who you don't like, know or even recognise. I think I've gone to that place today where I just don't know who I am.

The star joined OnlyFans as an act of rebellion against mainstream modelling (@LottieMoss/Twitter)"Since I got my face tattoo and started OnlyFans, I was like, 'Is this even what I want to be doing?'" Lottie went on to state that she "rebelled so hard" that her actions made her "sad", before adding: "I don't even like me now, so I'm like 'Who the f**k am I?'
"I just need to know that other people are feeling this way and that I'm not going crazy. I feel like I isolated myself from so many people that do and did care and now I feel so alone. I feel like I should be grateful as I have so many good things in my life but I just don't feel happy in myself."
Lottie has spoken candidly about her struggles and previously claimed she felt "very much controlled" while she was working in mainstream modelling. She claimed that aged 18, she was ordered to slim down to a 23 inch waist and 30 inch hips. She said: "My life was very much controlled. I'd go to these fashion shoots and I'd be crying beforehand, then I'd do it and pretend I was happy. I didn't know how depressed I was because I'd pushed it so far down and covered it up with substances and alcohol."
