Last year, Bella Hadid was crowned the “most beautiful woman in the world,” according to science, receiving a near-perfect symmetry rating.
There's no doubt that the supermodel is beyond beautiful, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have self-esteem issues. In fact, Ella Bella has spoken about her insecurities and mental health issues time and time again, reminding those going through similar issues that they are not alone.
Bella Hadid, one of the most recognizable faces in the modeling industry, has often been described as a “stunning beauty.” However, the supermodel hasn't always been immune to insecurities about her looks. In fact, Ella Bella has openly spoken about the beauty insecurities she faced growing up and how she overcame them.
In a candid interview a few years ago, Ella Hadid said that as a child she had more insecurities than anyone. She explained that she always felt self-conscious about her eyebrows, but that she didn't realize there was anything she could do about it. But her eyebrows weren't the only insecurities Hadid was forced to struggle with while she was growing up. She also felt self-conscious about her weight and described herself as “a little chubby” until she was 15.
The supermodel reportedly admitted to having a nose job when she was just 14 years old. However, she regretted her decision and wished she had kept her ancestors' noses. “I think she would have gotten used to me,” Hadid explained.
Although there have been rumors that Hadid has undergone other cosmetic procedures, the model has always denied them. “I have never used filler. Let's put an end to that. "I don't have any problem with it, but it's not for me."
In 2012, Bella Hadid and her family received the devastating news that everyone had been diagnosed with Lyme disease, including her younger brother, Anwar Hadid, and her mother, Yolanda Hadid. Despite her outward appearance, Bella Hadid revealed that her battle with Lyme disease has been an ongoing struggle and that others don't understand her.
Hadid has also spoken openly about her mental health issues in recent years, especially in regards to her insecurity and anxiety. She has posted Instagram selfies in which she shows the reality of her struggles and offers words of encouragement to others going through similar experiences.
In the post, she reminded her followers that social networks are not real and that it is essential to take this into account. She encouraged everyone struggling to know that they are not alone and that she sees and hears them.
Recently, Hadid opened up to her 7 million followers on TikTok to share a heartfelt message about her struggle with anxiety. In the video, she revealed that she suffers from morning anxiety, which can be very difficult to treat.
Ella Hadid said that she tries to use positive affirmations to start the day, but that she often finds it difficult to believe them when her mind is consumed by anxiety. One of her mantras is to remind herself that she is lucky and grateful for everything the universe has given her.
