The 49-year-old actress spoke candidly on the Anything Goes with James English podcast about the depth of her drug addiction.
She described how “no one” at the time was aware of the extent of her difficulties and recalled the reaction her kids had when they learned she had appeared on the reality show.
I certainly feel for my kids, she remarked. My kids were wondering, “Oh my God, how’s she going to be?” when I appeared on Big Brother.
“Because I was using 11 grams of gear [cocaine] daily when I went there. I won’t lie; nobody is aware of that.
When they took me through that f**king door, I went from carrying 11 bags of equipment per day to…
And everyone said, “Oh God,” including my son, she continued.
Danielle required reconstructive surgery after her septum separated due to her extreme cocaine addiction.
After competing on Celebrity Big Brother for a year, Danniella unfortunately had a relapse, admitting to Now magazine that “the wheels fell off” because she is an addict.
“To relieve the agony, I started rubbing cocaine over my gums and dabbing it in my mouth.
People believe that I was once again snorting cocaine, but I wasn’t. I was cleaning my gums with it.
