Beverly Johnson says she got hooked on drugs after living on a diet of cocaine and two eggs a week​

Jan. 16, 2024


Beverly Johnson says she got hooked on drugs in the 1970s after living on a diet of cocaine, a bowl of rice and two eggs a week in an attempt to become stick-thin.
The supermodel — who is celebrating the 50th anniversary of becoming the first Black woman to appear on the cover of Vogue — told Page Six that she took the appetite-killing drug after fashion industry insiders encouraged her to look “chiseled to the bone” for photo shoots.


“We were led to believe that cocaine was not addictive. 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 told us, “I remember eating two eggs and a bowl of brown rice a week. 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.”

She says that she only began to understand her situation when her concerned mother made her get out of the bathtub one day and “put me in a three-way mirror.” “It was the first time I saw my bones looking back at me,” she told us, “It was a major wake up call for me.”
She’s now been sober for over 50 years.

Beverly Johnson says that many models used cocaine to lose weight in the 70’s and 80’s.




The mother of one was the first black woman to grace the cover of Vogue magazine in 1974.

The 71-year-old is appearing in a one-woman show titled “Beverly Johnson In Vogue.”​

In the performance she discusses her modeling and acting career, her family, lovers and growing up in Buffalo, New York, as well as paying homage to the legendary women that came before and after her.

The Buffalo native is starring in her one-woman show “Beverly Johnson In Vogue.”

The 71-year-old is the author of “The Face That Changed It All: A Memoir​

The anorexic super model era was so ass.

Black men saved the world by making booty trendy

The 90's was full of eating disorders. People dying because to be thin and pretty us something I never felt sympathy for.

BBLs are the new cocaine.

That era is still very much alive.

Made worse because of easier access to plastic surgery today.

How does it make you feel?

That era is still very much alive.

Not even close to what it was. Absolutely not.

we're talking actual runway models for fashion houses... not Quasi-sex workers doing photoshoots in hotels and parking garages for fast fashion.

These body types are unsustainable without drugs and lack of proper nutrition.

'Chiseled to the bone'

I do not want a woman build like a pole but to each their own.

You mean the same world with a 40% obesity rate, women dying from BBL surgery, high blood pressure and widespread diabetes?

The last major model I can think of with that figure was Kate Upton, and she fell off.

Cocaine ruled that era. Made a lot of dealers very wealthy. Their kids are enjoying that wealth to this day. The big shippers not the folks on the corners....
