Chrissy opened up about the dark side of her childhood and the mental and physical abuse she suffered from her stepfather because of her weight.
“My mom married Trigger at the courthouse. Soon, she was pregnant again, with another girl, Abigail. Trigger loved his two biological children … Me, not so much. My mother was always at work, so she didn’t see how he treated me,” she wrote in the book, referring to her stepdad as Trigger.
She later wrote, “I don’t remember why Trigger hit me the first time. He never punched my face. Just my body, the thing that offended him so much. He shoved me, slapped me, punched my arm. He would hit me if he thought I looked at him wrong. I remember being on the kitchen floor after he knocked me over, and I was begging to know what I did. He just shoved me hard with his foot.”
The Breakthrough star shared that she eventually waited to eat after her family was asleep, which led to her binge-eating habits.
“Trigger began weighing me. He’d get the scale from the bathroom and clang it hard on the kitchen floor. ‘Well, get on the damn thing!’” Chrissy shared in the memoir. “‘This is what you need to know.’”
