Constance Hall has opened up to Stellar about the impact that two lawsuits and a separation had on her mental health.
The mother-of-seven explained that the stress of so many traumatising experiences in one timeframe left her feeling suicidal at one point.
“I’ve had days when I’m stressed out about a court case, when someone threatens to publish my phone number and then I’m served some more papers,” the 34-year-old told Stellar magazine.
“And I’m just lying on my bed thinking ‘I could just jump off that balcony, it would be so much easier than dealing with all the things I have to deal with’,” she continued.
It wasn’t until Constance thought about her friends with terminal cancer that she felt as though she needed to ‘get a grip’.
Constance was dealing with two lawsuits against her for breach of contract, whilst she was also in the process of divorcing her ex-husband Bill Mahon, who publicly alleged that she had cheated.
“That’s definitely clipped my wings,” Constance says of the legal matters she’s faced. “I might be having a sh*t day because of that, but I can’t really talk about it, legally.”
