Model Chrissy Teigen was among the participants of the sober trend going on in the last few years. She revealed in 2020 that she stopped drinking. But in a candid interview, she admitted that she’s no longer sober and the next steps in her sobriety journey. Keep reading for all the details.
Chrissy Teigen Gets Sober Amid Bad Behavior
Chrissy Teigen married one of the most well-known singers in the world. But before she wed musician John Legend, she was a celebrity in her own right. In a short amount of time, she went from the background of reality TV to the cover of Sports Illustrated. The future supermodel got her start as a model on the NBC game show Deal or No Deal. She was a briefcase model on the first season back in 2005. Teigen made a surprise return to the Deal or No Deal Island reboot for Season 2.
In addition to her modeling career, Chrissy Teigen has appeared on several TV shows, including as a commentator on Lip Sync Battle. The outspoken star is not shy about airing her political beliefs or responding to trolls on social media. But it was revealed a few years ago that Teigen had a history of being a troll herself.

Some questionable tweets from the model were exposed and she credited that with her decision to get sober. “For me it was a big moment of like, ‘Wow, I need to find out how I can be better, how I can grow from this, learn from this. There’s that old cliché of ‘I’m glad it happened,’ but truly it made me a stronger person. A better person,” she said on the TODAY show in 2021.
Teigen also credited Holly Whitaker’s book, Quit Like a Woman, for helping on her sobriety journey.
Sports Illustrated Model Admits She Started Drinking Again
Chrissy Teigen celebrated her sober milestones on social media. In 2021, she revealed that she was 100 days sober. But in a new Instagram post, she revealed that she’s since fallen off the wagon.
Holly Whitaker was recently a guest on Teigen’s Self-Conscious podcast. Before the episode went live, Chrissy Teigen decided to come clean with her social media followers about an admission she made on the podcast episode.
“Holly Whitaker changed my life, changed my perspective and changed how I view the f**king beast that is alcohol,” she wrote in a lengthy caption. “But to have to admit to all of you: I let it back into my life,” Chrissy Teigen admitted. She expressed regret over letting her followers and the sober community down.
Reveals Next Steps
Chrissy Teigen admitted that she doesn’t know what she’s doing when it comes to staying sober. However, “I one hundred percent know I like me better sober. I one hundred percent know I get more done, I absolutely feel better in my body without it.”
She went on to reveal that she was tired of throwing up after drinking or not being able to have just one drink. Going forward, Teigen said that she plans to be “mindful” about her relationship with alcohol. But she stopped short of saying she would stop drinking again completely.
The former model seemed hopeful that she would figure out what works best for her when it comes to alcohol consumption. Do you think she should give sobriety another try? Sound off in the comments.
