Eva Marcille reflects on disabling her comments on Instagram after fans point out her drastic weight loss.
While on the ‘Tamron Hall Show’ Marcille says naturally she lost weight as she was going through a very public divorce. Marcille finalized her divorce from Michael Sterling in August of 2023.
“I went through a divorce last year. Anyone who’s ever gone through a divorce knows that divorce is hard — it’s like the stomach flu. Like, you will be skinny afterward. You drop a 200 pound person and you’re gonna drop at least 30 pounds,” Marcille explained.
“And I found myself depressed, um, before my divorce, through my divorce — trying to just navigate and rediscover: who am I?” she explained. “I’m not the wife anymore. I’m not someone’s someone. I’m someone’s mom but if I took the mom away… if I took ‘Top Model’ away, like who is Eva? Who am I? And making sure I prioritize knowing that character and building that character.”
The clip of the interview was shared to social media and many fans emphasized with Eva. “Divorce is the second most traumatic life experience next to loss of a loved one. You feel your heart break inside your body. To still have to show up and parent through that grief, let alone just show up to your own life — is incredibly painful. I’m so grateful for Eva’s transparency” comments one fan.
Eva previously shared a clip via her social media that read, “my mom once said, ‘Everyone in your life will have a last day with you and you don’t know when it will be.’” She captioned the post, “be kind.”
