ABOUT VOGUE
Vogue is the authority on fashion news, culture trends, beauty coverage, videos, celebrity style, and fashion week updates.
It's harder when the world is watching and treats your sobriety as entertainment. I'm rooting for her and the fact that she opens up on such a public platform like Vogue hopefully makes people feel less alone in their sobriety.
Excuse me ???? Being able to redeem yourself on vogue is a huge priviledge Not a curse She is just rebuilding her public image Nothing less Nothing more
Entertainment? All I saw was people being concerned for her!
she choose to be famous.
@@zarachoudhury6854 let’s not be delusional, you can just go to any post about her acting out in public and take one look at the comments
She is famous and sober. That can not compare to broke and sober.
Can we just appreciate how great is this lady, her questions, her manners. Everything about her is so calm and comfortable. She doesn't interrupt or ask stupid questions. We need more interviewers like this.
This ladys name is Chioma Nnadi, we do need more interviewers like her.
This is bc she is a licensed therapist, not the press.
complete opposite to that news interview few years ago
Idk, that hug in the end seemed fake as f.
@@gaysfortrump2024 her pr team woke up and needed more clicks
My respect for Vogue increased, thank you for letting Cara tell her side of story.
Yeah, I lost my respect for Vogue when they started putting Kim K on the cover and when Anna invited the kardashians/ Jenners to the met gala but this was great
Yeah
@@rinmartell2678что в этом плохого?
Who cares?
what she said about preferring the term healing over recovery really struck me as someone who's struggled with an eating disorder for the majority of my life. sometimes I say I'm in recovery but it feels like a lie or I say it and it feels shameful the next time I engage in unhealthy behaviors. healing feels less rigid, it feels forgiveful.
This.
Love this
It might help to just say "I am going through some processings or even energy processings". I crashed many years ago and was very fortunate to be guided to a very different way to understand my life.
This was beautifully put
@@kimvo7592 Thank you
She definitely looks better and I'm glad she's getting better. Sobriety is hard, I pray she stays this way.
/ please watch Watchman on the Wall 88 and Watchman River and Tony Su on KZhead
I think she wont stay this way Her life style Her mentality She looks like someone who still needs to grow
She looks worse they mkultrad her
@@imogene2044 well that’s pessimistic of you lol
what was she on?
I'm rooting for her. takes a lot of balls to speak about addiction publicly, and I'm happy she seems so much brighter/happier.
Don't do drugs kids
Not really. Seems like it's the done thing when you are a celeb these days.
Completely agree. She seems so much happier, brighter and healthier and I’m rooting for her as well. I hope she continues to feel happier and stronger within herself and it’s so inspiring how she’s being so open about her recovery.
Expect a new film. Demi 101
Dumb celebs 😂
Being sober in this harsh world is hard. Respect.
Change your outlook and you’ll feel high on life.
just raw dogging reality
No it's not. . . . . It's about having a backbone and act responsible.
@@catnior I needed this
@@user-vv6fv8di4z what
Cara's addiction was deeply intertwined with her career and that really sucks. I'm glad that she is finally sober and healthier and happier. She's always seemed like such a genuine and kind person. I wish her the best.
Doesn’t she still have the same career?
She is one of the reasons why I love the movie Valerian
I’m 26 and sober for the first time since 14 and it’s crazy… it’s like I’m getting to know myself for the very first time. I hated myself every day of my addiction. I was in survival mode every second of every day, and that ages you in itself. I’m so grateful for where I am now. Love to all who are struggling with this sinister disease. It’s not your fault.
So proud of you❤❤❤ I hope you continue to do well
Congratulations!! You worded this so beautifully and eloquently. I wish you the best on your continued sobriety!
Not a disease. YES, people's fault. Obviously.
@@danielbarnes547 Exactly, A disease is something you have zero control over.
@@hardwired4548 What? Sheesh.
I grew up with her being THAT model and THAT It girl and I think she’s fabulous. Having her downfall documented by the paparazzi and the whole world to see must have been so so hard.
Wouldn't really call it a downfall. Bump in the road, rather.
@G Yeah and? It's her own fault
@@LIPGLOSS13 Not really. It's an awful thing indeed but not nearly a downfall in her career. It happened but she bounced back.
Maybe that helped her
@@Paul-sl9zm yea?
she’s so brave. accepting that you are addicted is a big thing in itself. she went for it and now she’s doing better and you can see that in her.
@@LIPGLOSS13 forced by who?
@@LIPGLOSS13 I think she talked quite a bit, about the things inside of her, that she tried to cover up with drugs. Maybe we watched different interviews?
I’m struggling in my life but when Cara said it’s okay to sit in the uncomfortability and we are constantly healing.. I cry
🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
End was so beautiful I agree, we must be able to endure some distress in the name of our healing, 🕊get thru the harder emotions to get to the other side🕯
It's hard. A twinge of anxiety or being uncomfortable we know we can take something to make us feel better.. unfortunately that isn't healing. It is prolonging the inevitable
“Sometimes your life doesn’t match up to how you feel about yourself inside” so powerful. I’m routing for you cara! You can do this.
Huge respect to Cara for being so open about her own journey - hopefully it will help to destigmatize addiction and encourage others who may be struggling to reach out and find that help towards recovery and health. She really was dragged through the mud in the media last year so publicly which must have been a total nightmare. Wishing all those struggling with addiction the strength to keep going, keep fighting and to find the help they need to get healthy again ❤
Very well said
@@LIPGLOSS13 its all for money !
Addiction is so incredibly difficult to overcome. I'm glad people have been rooting for her recovery and not shaming her
I'm so glad that she got the help that she needed. Those videos and photos were so upsetting to see, you could tell that she was really going through something and really needed help. I've always admired her, both for her modeling but also her eccentric and honest personality. She is true to herself and it shows. I hope that she continues to do well, and that her friends and family support her through anything she needs.
This is the earliest I've ever been to a video and I'm so proud that Cara decided to speak up about her experiences. It's not easy being vulnerable so it's refreshing to see a celebrity like her opening up.
Welp , gold star and crab claps for you for being early for a KZhead video, what a achievement , woohoo and provo 🎉🎉🎉
@@marlenna6730 gold star to you for being a douche for ✨no reason✨🫡 Anger management is a wonderful tool! You really should look into that before spreading more negativity in a world that needs more love 🫶🏻
@@marlenna6730cringe
@@inesf9508 what’s really cringe is announcing that you’re early for a KZhead video, for you even saying that proves you do the same thing. Nerd
WOW! You're amazing, getting to a video early! What an accomplishment! Better tell your mom and dad!!!👏👏👏👏
If anyone has the strength to fall down and admit that they stumbled it’s Cara. She is being honest and owning up to her mistakes. Which is hard for anyone to do. Maybe her reach as a celebrity can show others not to go down that same path. Or get the help they need. Stay strong Cara!
Cara is only one who understood in the world what she will do without friends, money? Like everybody, omg
Getting sober is hard enough in someone's private life, credit to her for sharing her journey and her humility, wishing her a life beyond her wildest dreams, sobriety is like a re birth as such she's so brave if this interview helps only one person it will be so worth while!
I am so glad that Cara is doing better. Seeing her hurting, having that addiction hurt her, was very sad to see. Way to go Cara, you deserve the healing.
This gave me so much strength. How it is important to realise that healing is not directional, it's so many thought patterns of sometimes lying to ourselves and then facing ourselves in different situations. It's all about embracing how our healing is supposed to be at our own pace.
Cara!!! We're here for you. It takes tons of courage to speak out. Don't you worry, we'll always here be with you. Love you.
I'm so happy to see Cara healthy and happy. I was so worried about her, she's been through a lot but, it seems like she finally overcome her issues. I wish her the best
She is so strong and vulnerable..Her talking about her own struggles is going to help so many others thank u Cara for sharing your story.i love u
I’m coming up on my 2 years. After years in active addiction and many relapses. It’s so nice to see she’s opening up and not denying it. Addiction truly is a beast and the only person who can save yourself is you ❤ which makes it so much more amazing when people do heal
Cara is so well versed and so intelligent. She carries herself so authentically and so gracefully. Inspiration for women!
LOL
This is very beautiful for her to be so open & vulnerable about her struggle. A lot of respect for her 🫶🏻
she beautifully expressed the deep pain and struggle that comes with addiction & healing. the vulnerability is admirable.
This SERIOUSLY takes me back to when I was early in sobriety. I was in a treatment centre too, and it helped me more than anything else ever has. So glad that it seems she’s started off strong and hope she continues to heal
I hope for her So many blessings So many teenage girls looking up to her
She is so eloquent. So glad we are able to hear her in this clarity. Healing is a lifelong process
Makes me so happy to see someone with a platform advocate for this. She seems to be doing very well now. It's such a blessing - many don't get to experience overcoming this disease. I hope she continues to heal.
really happy to see her recovery and how determined she seems to get better each and every day. thankfully, she 'woke up'. better late than never. you go, Cara! rooting for you. X
I feel so proud of her. The maturity with which she's dealing with this is outstanding and immaculate. She seems much better now, and I've always considered her a pretty grounded person. I hope she wins this war. I'll be rooting for her for sure.
i've been so worried about cara ever since her struggles with addiction like came to light but to see her healing is actually so amazing
I’ve always been struggling with depression and addiction and honestly this interview really helped me, thank you cara I know this is not easy
I feel and can hear the pain and sadness in her voice. I think she will forever be vulnerable when it comes to depression or her emotions. But she has so much self awareness and that’s her power. Always will be
I really love her. She seems like an awesome person. Very proud of her and her vulnerability in this interview gave me chills.
The journey of sobriety and recovery is hard enough on it’s own, let alone doing it on such a public scale and opening up about it too. Been a fan of her since 2013/14 and am rooting for her. Very glad to see she’s already looking healthier, brighter and happier and wishing her all the happiness, strength and love in her recovery journey. I’m in awe of her again for being open, I’m very sure that her sharing her story will help so many other people in their recovery too. Team Cara x
Is it really possible to stay sober for that long? I did meth, heroin, cocaine and marijuana. It’s my second month sober
@@lilac8794 It's definitely possible. Congratulations on your second month sober!! you're doing great.
I really appreciate Cara coming and doing this interview after all of the things she went through, I’m proud of her 👏🏻👏🏻
I like how down to earth, real and insightful she is ❤ healing takes time, recognition is the first stage 😊
she's done well for being able to admit her addiction, it takes courage. I hope she was able to overcome the addiction once and for all, but of course time will tell
Well you didn’t expect her to deny it did you? 😂 Everyone knew.
We all know ...rich gal probs
I’m happy to see her healing, I was totally heartbroken when I saw those pictures, obviously for many reasons. It wasn’t fair to have exposed her like that. I’m glad she got help❤
I have always liked Cara so much, Im glad she is feeling better and I really hope she stays sober and happy. This is also such an amazing, honest interview
aaaww this made me tear up! ive been sober for 10months and it’s the best thing i have ever done. and yes, healing! i love how more and more people realise being sober is the best way of living!! ❤
She’s very bold for speaking out about such a vulnerable topic
I give her so much credit for being honest and talking about this publicly, rooting for her
sometimes we need to see ourselves at our worst to become our best. it’s brutal and it hits hard but it’s necessary at times. i’m so glad she’s getting the help she needs
I have 6 months sober! It’s not something where you get 3 months and it’s a guarantee that you will never use and or drink again. It’s a constant battle. I hope she continues to choose sobriety each day! Just as I wish it for myself and all other addicts/alcoholics!
Congrats!
@@Laura-fh3sc thank you so much!!!
Keep pushing on, super proud of you Abbie
That's amazing! Congrats!
Congrats!
*Everyone needs respect, healing, and understanding. Period.* -Don’t ever fall short of giving or receiving those things!
I'm glad they didn't put an emotional song in the background. This feels more genuine.
As someone who struggled with meth and heroin it’s the hardest thing I ever had to do was quit . It was harder than the things I did as a Marine , and it tore my family apart for over a decade . Hope she stays straight
Recovery is so important. This conversation is so important. ❤ im so thankful she is speaking about this + able to do so…✝️
Seeing her in Only Murderers In The Building S2 made my heart so happy. You can tell she’s really turning her life around for the better
I love you cara💙, the way u said that u won't say that ur life is hard and u accepted tht u have a wonderful life but sometimes it's hard to match up with the way u feel got me. So true 💯
I pray for her so much she’s such a beautiful woman. It’s sad what the fame, trauma, money, having just everything in the world can do to you. I hope she stays sober. I respect she can talk about her issues infront of everyone because at this point she has no choice cause everyone’s talking about her and her addiction. Bless her
a heart on crutches. a beautiful metaphor and way to describe how healing feels.. I am so happy to see Cara happy.. and healing
I love how you can feel her healing even in her voice! How calm and sweet she truly is🤍
Yes, so glad we’re finally addressing the elephant in the room. I thought it was so strange how no one was addressing this during her latest press run almost pulling the veil over our eyes. So glad that she was open to addressing this and that she’s getting help. I wish you the best for her on her sobriety.
@@LIPGLOSS13 I don't think she owes it to anyone to tell us what her addiction was. The message is addiction, the medium may be a number of different things that serve or have served you at one time. Why do we care if it was meth or if it was beer or food she was addicted to? Doesn't a story of healing resonate across borders? I mean, maybe her talking about the disease instead of the process could help people more. I personally, thought she was so incredibly brave during this interview and made me ask myself questions I may not otherwise have asked. And I was NOT a Cara fan before watching this video. Mad Respect for her. HuGE Cara fan now.
@@LIPGLOSS13 she does not owe anyone to go into the nitty gritty . the world saw her crubling so now she wanted to come out as someone better than crumbling that's all. we need to be less defensive and more sensitive about addiction
@@LIPGLOSS13 Not sure if it was Meth she was taking. I guess she was taking coke and drinking too much. She was spending a lot of time with Amber Heard at that time and I think she’s on coke.
@@LIPGLOSS13 yup.
@@LIPGLOSS13 exactly. This is like a puff piece.
glad to see her doing well.. I was really sad when I saw the video of her tweaking outside of the airport. She is absolutely stunning, recovery is a lifetime commitment.. I hope she stays strong.
“…had to relinquish control to gain it back…” so true. Deep. Sending 🫶🏼 to Cara. Such a wholesome interview. Such a genuine strong and courageous individual.
Wishing her all the best. She’s a strong woman she will pull through ❤
Always loved Cara, and this is so brave of her💜 I feel like we juuuust heard about what she was going through and so for her to get help and open up about it so soon is really inspiring, I hope she feels supported through her journey and I’m really wishing her the best
cara, you are a real inspiration and you have so much support behind you. Wishing you a gentle season of healing and compassion ❤ we deserve to feel seen and heard - even at our lowest, and cara is no exception
I'm so proud of and happy for Cara. Realizing, admitting, and facing addiction is never easy for anyone no matter who you are and what you have. I truly hope she continues on her new path. And I'm glad she's willing to speak up about it. If doing so can help even just one person, even if that person is perhaps herself, it's so very worth it. Rooting for you, Cara!
Proof that no one is above addiction. However, I don't have any more pity or empathy for a celebrity than I do for any of our brothers or sisters trying to survive on the street.
I think having equal empathy is enough. More often than not people think just because someone is rich or famous they don’t deserve empathy and they can’t have their struggles. Life is not a competition of who’s poorer. Everyone has their own struggles and as long as they’re not tone deaf to others’ they deserve validation and empathy too.
SO proud of you Cara. I am so happy you are in a better place now and hope that you continue to get better.
Probably the best content done on this channel. So impactful and major credit to everyone who was responsible for this. ❤
I don't know anything about her or her life, but I found this very refreshing! I hope she continues to heal and that people will open their eyes. I can tell this is a genuine person. As she said, we really need to support each other more without judgement or double standards.
I'm glad she's doing better. Addiction is difficult.
/ please watch Watchman on the Wall 88 and Watchman River and Tony Su on KZhead
I just hopes she is healthy and stays that way. Even as strangers, it's hard to see someone (anyone) get destroyed by a hard drug(s) addiction.
Gia carangi was made to do similar type of ''I am clean" type of interview back in the 80s
How awesome that she did this interview. She's setting the bar and the standard for people in the business to put their actions behind their words.
Sending her so much love. She’s so charming, it’s so tough she’s been suffering. Her Mum was/is an addict her whole life.
I'm so proud of you Cara! Sober since 2011 & it's a daily thing. She looks beautiful and such a strong woman!
I think so often about how social media & media in general must sometimes feel for public figures like standing in a room with all these people talking about them like they aren’t there. I really wish her the best & I hope that her process of healing continues safely.
I’m so proud of Cara, I hope she continues to thrive on her continual journey of healing 🖤
This is very timely, as I am recently sober as well. So proud of Cara and rooting for her wellness 🙏🏽
I'm rooting for her and all those with the challenge of addiction! You got this!
I am happy she is healing. She looks great and sounds like she’s doing great. I hope she carry’s on this way ❤
Wow she is amazing and so brave for speaking publicly about this! Very inspirational! I hate this video took 3 days to pop up in my feed though.
You never know what someone else is going through. I'm so glad she found herself . She is such a lovely human.
I am so happy for this interview! I am watching Carnival Row was hoping to see her on press circuits. So stunning on camera! So glad she is back!
So glad to see her recovering… She’s got reason enough to be very proud of herself and to look forward in a much better future with the healthy kind of joy in life….
Also love how soft spoken , understanding and relatable the interviewer was ❤️
I really hope she can stick to her sobriety and push through her addictions. It’s such a horrible disease. I’m glad that she’s doing better and she looks great ❤️
I am so fond of Cara. She’s such a special human and she’s always been extremely raw and vulnerable. Rooting for her always!
You can tell she held back so much 😢❤ so happy she’s doing better ❤
I am so so glad she is ok and in healing! Take all the time you need Cara! You are awesome!
I’m so proud of her, this was a big step and it’s a very difficult time in her life. addiction is a disease and it is painful. so her speaking about it is comforting to those around the world, hearing about it makes you know that anyone can struggle with anything and you aren’t alone. i love you
What a skilled facilitator. Props to you, Chioma 🙇🏻♀️
I’m so happy she got help so fast! I’ve never been so genuinely worried about a celebrity I didn’t know. I hated seeing her like that.
Wow! What an amazing video! She is so incredibly strong for speaking out about addiction and her healing. I pray she stays strong, takes it each day as it comes❤
It’s a sickness and people exploiting you in a very vulnerable state is shameful Glad your looking after yourself and don’t think you owe any one an explanation or be exploited again even by doing this interview it must have been very difficult Thank you for sharing
Glad to see you’re on your healing journey Cara❤
I love she is always so open about things that alot of people find so uncomfortable to talk about.
So so so happy she’s okay and healing. We are so proud
Sending love and strength to everyone who’s struggling with addiction. You got this! You’ll make it!
She seems like a really fun person. I had no idea she was going through a tough time. Glad to see she's feeling better.
That was a great interview. I praise the person designed this. The mood, interviewer and the guest. Set up and the questions and how there answered. I would like to see more care and structure like this in interviews.
so happy to see her🩷🩷🩷🩷 the pictures really, the whole world commenting and dragging on those pictures is so counter intuitive when it comes to healing. i am glad she battled her way out of the visuals that was narrated by the media discourse. glad glad. 💙
