“I usually don’t post these. But this really got to me. Lying about a mental illness is disgusting. Something I hope nobody would ever do,” the model, who has been open about her battle with anorexia since 2018, wrote. “I seriously can’t believe I’m being accusing of lying about anorexia to get more ‘air time’ sorry but I’m forced to be on the housewives by my mom. Ask anyone it’s the last thing I want to do. I couldn’t care less about air time. So f—k you.”
After her comments made headlines, Amelia backtracked by releasing a new statement via Instagram Stories.
She added that she should have used the word “encouraged” instead of “forced” when it comes to filming.
“THAT WAS THE WRONG CHOICE OF WORDS. All I was trying to say was that I’m not just on this show for a f—king story line you guys chill,” Amelia wrote. “Obviously it’s been six years. I could have stopped filming long ago. Can you just all chill? I haven’t ’cause I have a story to tell to HELP people and now I’ve become super close to all the women and I love them.”
Amelia concluded: “Like would you wanna be on national television at 12???????????”
