Her Big Break
Once Chrissy Metz took off some weight, her panic attacks subsided and she began living a healthy lifestyle. There was so much more positivity in her life. At that point, she was able to get a recurring role on the fourth season of American Horror Story, playing Ima Barbara Wiggles. For the part, Metz needed to wear a special body suit to make her look bigger. Chrissy Metz explained how life-changing that was, “It was sobering… I thought, ‘What if I become that heavy and can’t walk around or get stuck in the doorframe?’”

Financial Problems
Once that amazing role ended after five episodes, Chrissy Metz almost felt like she was back in the same predicament. Her paycheck from American Horror Story began to run out, but she wasn’t working regularly and her bank account reflected that. Metz explained, “I kept auditioning, with no savings and no money, credit card debt gaining interest.” She even had to file for unemployment in order to just support herself and pay rent and bills.
