Brooks Nader has used weight-loss drugs as a “crutch”.
Brooks Nader has been open about using weight-loss drugs
The 28-year-old model has been open about her use of GLP-1, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity – but Brooks acknowledges that it’s “not healthy” for her.
The model – who stars in the reality TV show Love Thy Nader – told Bustle: “The thing that I was so shocked about with the show was that I had so many people reach out to me saying ‘I’m also addicted to GLP-1. I’m ashamed to talk about it because there’s such a stigma around it. It’s a crutch for me’.
“I’m still on it. It’s a crutch for me, too. It’s not healthy. I should get off it; I’ll be honest about that.”
Despite this, Brooks has learned not to underestimate her will power, after going through a painful divorce.
The model – who finalised her divorce from Billy Haire earlier this year – said: “Once I got to that other side, I realised, ‘Wait, I got me. I can do anything I f****** put my mind to’.
“I was with someone for 10 years, and I cut it off and came out better. I can push out a human; I can start a company; I can get over anybody. It’s euphoric, that feeling.”
Meanwhile, Brooks previously revealed that she isn’t allowed to discuss her divorce on Love Thy Nader.
The former couple signed non-disclosure agreements as part of their divorce settlement, meaning Brooks cannot discuss the reasons for their break-up on her reality TV show.
During an appearance on the The Viall Files podcast, Brooks shared: “I would say it’s a part of my life and a part of my story. It’s a part of who I am and what shaped me.”
Brooks subsequently explained that while she can discuss aspects of her relationship, she can’t share all of the details that lead to her break-up.
She said: “I can [talk] about my experiences. That’s in the fine print. We both did [sign one]. It was a mutually exclusive [NDA].”
