Beverly Johnson Admits She Used Cocaine To Stay Slim During Modeling Career

It’s no secret that Beverly Johnson was a bombshell back in the day and still is! But what “was” a secret, is how she maintained that slim figure throughout her modeling career…that is until now!

During an interview with Page Six, she revealed that models often used cocaine in place of food. “We were led to believe that cocaine was not addictive,” she said.

“We didn’t know cocaine was addictive. Everyone used drugs back in the day but that particular drug for models was used because we did not eat.”

Johnson says she added variety to her cocaine meals. “I remember eating two eggs and a bowl of brown rice a week,” she added.

“I would be shaking in a cab, and I would say pull over because I have to get a bag of M&Ms. I would just stop and get the shakes. We did not eat, and every time you came to work they would say, ‘Yes! Chisel to the bone girl. Yes,’ like congratulating you. Nobody really told you the truth.”

It was Johnson’s mother who forced her to realize the dark truth about herself by having her look into a three-way mirror. “It was the first time I saw my bones looking back at me,” she recalled. “It was a major wake-up call for me.”
