Grey’s Anatomy star Chyler Leigh is expecting her third child this May with husband Nathan West.Getting to this point: married, with children, and a successful actress, was not easy for Chyler.She opened up to OK! Magazine about her difficult past.Chyler said she was addicted to drugs by the time she was 17, but now she has been sober for seven years.
‘It was a combination of everything," she says. ‘It was a pupu platter
of drugs, whatever we could do. I just hit that point of searching for
something, anything that would make everything go away and make me
numb. It was a deadly combination.’ "
Yet now here she is, joking that she will name her new baby "Aniston."I’m sure Jennifer (and her family) would be flattered!

Anonymous 8:55 are you serious? that is so sick! I do recall seeing a clip of a real life brother and sister kissing passionately – I did not know that was her. that is incense and should never be allowed – mind you angie kisses her brother all the time too so maybe it’s normal in Hollywood.
Life was tough, yada yada…Thankfully, she was blessed with that face & body or else she would probably be doing the 9-5 thing like most people who had it rough…I think she has lipstick on her teeth…ha
That’s “incest”, not “incense”, idiot!
Good for her, she is a beautifull woman!
woo, i didn’t know she used to be an addict…
glad she is ok now, i really like her
You know, I do not mean to rain on Chyler’s parade but she is clueless about having to come true obstacles in life. She decided to do drugs, and while I feel sorry she made a wrong decision she brought this onto herself. I knew drugs were bad when I was 10 years old. Not only drugs, I knew cigarettes meant disease and sickness. How did I know? Family, friends and education. That is how! Not like you can do drugs and expect a good outcome. It is not like you invested money and expected it to grow and then became destitute because of the market collapse. She started doing drugs knowing how it will end up and selecting to be stupid about it. In othere words I am sick of hearing actors ”difficult life full of obstacles”. Not getting their way (such as an Oscar, or getting paid 10mil per movie) is not an obstacle.
I agree too. Vera, not meant towards you about publishing this. But really, average everyday people go through so many obstacles and we have to be smart right away because we don’t have lots of money to get us out of a jam. We need to know how to balance money and live a good life. their obstacles are what everyone else faces right now, all the time, and many times a whole lot worse.
She looks gorgeous here!

she had to overcome many obstacles? you’ve got to be kidding me. i have a genetic chronic kidney disease that is slowly destroying my kidnesy which is why i can’t have kids. that’s an obstacle. there are mothers out there who can’t afford to feed their family because they don’t have health care or a decent salary, that’s an obstacle. celebrities are such a joke sometimes.
She had an effed up family life (her mother is crazy). Her first acting job as a teen was to play the lover of her real-life brother….they kissed on screen several times. It’s on youtube. That would make you do drugs especially since her mother arranged the whole thing for both siblings. And her husband is a former druggie too but is now Mr. Mom. Interesting life.
please. I am so sick to hear about bad families. There are many people who had bad families, yet they rose above all. Some people just want to do everything they want and then blame families and bad childhood.
you know what–she did not have to go into acting. we know you get blisters on your knees, especially in acting. she could have been working at McDonalds getting minimum pay and no exposure like millions of others. i do not have much compassion for most in a film industry. there is always too much drama, desire for the publicity, and being an actor is a syndrom. If you are told to undress sooner or later you will. you are paid to be whatever they want you to be, and you forget how to be yourself, perhaps because actors do not have selves. by its nature the job is non commital, so it is like a vicious cycle. I think you have to be pretty unsavory character to begin with and then the system picks you up and creates a monster.
People that read this blog overcome obstacles everyday.
Aninston is not Jennifers real last name. She changed it.
**Happiness is a Journey not a Destination**
One major obstacle was her name. Chyler. Why do parents do that to their kids?
When I see her all I can think of is “That ’80s Show”.
