She openly spoke about the impact of her role in the 2006 filmShe’s the Man, where she portrayed a girl impersonating her twin brother.
“When the movie came out and I saw it, I went into a deep depression for 4-6 months because I didn’t like how I looked when I was a boy,” she toldPapermagazine in 2018.
She said it felt like “a super strange and out-of-body experience” to see herself with short hair and sideburns.
“It just really put me into a funk,” she told the outlet.
TheHairsprayactress has candidly spoken about getting hooked on marijuana and other substances
In the same interview, she revealed how she got hooked on marijuana, which became a gateway tostronger substances.
“I started smoking marijuana when I was 16. Even though everyone thought I was the ‘good girl,’ I did smoke marijuana from that point on,” she said. “I didn’t get addicted [then] and I wasn’t abusing it. And I wasn’t going out and partying or making a fool of myself… yet.”
“Later on it progressed to doing molly and ecstasy,” she said and noted that she “definitely abused” Adderall.
She recalled “reading an article in a magazine that [called Adderall] ‘the new skinny pill‘ and they were talking about how women were taking it to stay thin. I was like, ‘Well, I have to get my hands on that.'”
“I did smoke marijuana,” she said in a 2018 interview. “Later on it progressed to doing molly and ecstasy”
The actress admitted she couldn’t stand to watch her performance in the 2010 comedyEasy A.
“I literally couldn’t stand my appearance in that movie and I didn’t like my performance. I was absolutely convinced I needed to stop acting after seeing it,” she said during the interview.
“I washigh on marijuanawhen I saw that but for some reason it really started to affect me. I don’t know if it was a drug-induced psychosis or what, but it affected my brain in a different way than it affects other people,” she continued. “It absolutely changed my perception of things.”

“I saw it and I was convinced that I should never be on camera again and I officially retired on Twitter, which was, you know, also stupid,” she said.
The formerrom-com sensationexpressed regret over the way she announced her retirement.
“If I was going to retire [the right way], I should’ve done it in a press statement—but I did it on Twitter,” she said. “Real classy! But, you know, I was high and I was like, ‘You know what? I am so over this’ so I just did it. But it was really foolish and I see that now. I was young and stupid.”
