It blows my mind that we look at all of these beautiful models and think that they must never feel insecure or have any sort of problems in their lives. She is a prime example that addiction does not discriminate against anyone. I'm thankful that she is using her platform to be vulnerable and honest about her previous abuse, by sharing this I believe she is showing so many people that they aren't alone. Beyond proud of this woman!

[ALESSIA]

I didn't k ow she suffered from alcohol and drug abuse, I can't believe a barbie like her would wanna escape herself, it shows you that the outside isn't connected to the inside

I still think she should play Elsa from Frozen if Disney ever does a live action version. It's not only the fact they share the same name, her facial features remind me a lot to the character. Elsa is such a doll 💙

[meghanjoy]

Elsa is so well-spoken. She's going to be a great mother and raise such an intelligent child. I'm happy for her, being happy and successful after suffering from addiction. Also thank you for asking interesting and nonsuperficial questions! So nice to see her beautiful personality come out.

[AnirakLara]

A life without drugs and a happy ending I love this. she's so brave very glad to met this part of her <3

[Queennatalie]

She’s beautiful and brave to speak about this, so much respect ♥️

[jordanandkimbothepugs]

Thank you for being so honest and open Elsa. This is the dark side that hasn’t been exposed by a lot of people. People talked about it and hyped it like it’s all glitz and glamour. I mean it is.. until one of my model friend committed suicide.

[MissAtomicLau]

This is actually the first time I listen to her speaking Swedish. Thanks for the subtitles!

[anastasiag]

I really appreciate her openness about such an important issue...It’s hard for everyone -especially models- to break away from the picture perfect look and talk about their own vulnerabilities...she seems so honest and confident in her present self, that she can inspire so many people dealing with the same problems...Go Elsa!

This interview makes me wonder about her childhood before she started working. She's come a long way and looks wonderful. I hope she loves herself now.

She's incredibly insightful and honest. She admits that at the height of her addiction, she was being manipulative and blaming others. She has a good grasp and insight that, instead of blaming others, she and the addiction played a major part of the problem. Great interview, best wishes for Elsa on her recovery.

[chillinginmars]

So proud of elsa for turning her life around 💜💜💜💜

[marianasanchezhuergo]

A big applause for this woman for speaking out loud her struggles within a "perfect happy world"

[arantxag]

I didn't like her before, I thought she looked mean in her photos, I love her now.

[LamiAtZenith]

Swedish sounds like a beautiful language

[broadwaybuff]

The shade she threw to VS in the end 😂😂😂

[Hello]

THANK YOU for this episode and interview. She is so brave for telling her story. I too suffered from alcohol abuse and I think it's very important for people that are "famous" or "beautiful" to be transparent about addiction. Hope that makes sense! Love this interview.

[talitam.]

Thanks for the subtitles! That was very interesting.

[komfykoala]

This is sad to hear, I thought VS models were very healthy but it seems like a fake image the brand pushes just to hide the sinister abuse they put on their models. This is sad and and abusive. Pretty sure after the virus is cleared out we're not going to get any more VS fashion shows. I hope these girls can recover from that pressure.

[seidenschnabelfederflugel]

Wow. I never knew this about her. I just always saw her instagram and was so jelous how beautiful and perfect her life seems. Instagram is so toxic omg.
