‘I Was Broken’: Michelle Williams Details Her Breakdown & Depression After Split From Fiancé
Destiny’s Child is one of the most successful girl groups of all time. As y’all already know, after the group disbanded, its members, Beyonce’ Knowles-Carter, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, have all gone on to have prosperous careers, though there have been hard times as well. For instance, Williams has been very open about her struggles with depression and in a recent interview, she’s revealing even more.
Roller Coaster Ride Of Success
Many will remember when Destiny’s Child flipped the script, by replacing original members, LeToya Luckett and Latavia Roberson, in the video for “Say My Name” in 1999.
Though fans were initially clutchin’ their pearls over the sudden switch up- especially after then new member, Farrah Franklin, was ejected months later- Williams fit in perfectly. After DC’s breakup, Williams went on to do theater and continue singing. When she recently announced her engagement to Chad Johnson, it appeared her life was coming full circle. Unfortunately, things began to fall apart and last year we reported about her progress, after checking into a facility to deal with her depression. At that time, she shared a message to her fans, stating in part:
“For years I have dedicated myself to increasing awareness of mental health and empowering people to recognize when it’s time to seek help, support and guidance from those that love and care for your well being.” She continued, “I recently listened to the same advice I have given to thousands around the world and sought help from a great team of healthcare professionals.”
Little did the world know, things got far worse for Michelle, after she and Johnson ended their engagement. Now, she’s ready to open up about all of the previously unknown trials she’s endured and how where she is today.
