After her divorce, Brittany Snow made some changes to her relationship with food, too.
As we’re sure you know, Brittany divorced her husband Tyler Stanaland back in 2022 after a cheating scandal made very public by his reality show, Selling The OC. What a mess. But now, in a candid interview with Self, she’s opening up about it in a way she hasn’t before — and hopefully it will help others who have gone through similar struggles. On the divorce, Brittany offered some rare insight into the split, beginning:
“I think people forget that when I got married, I got married to a real estate agent. He wasn’t even in my business whatsoever. He was definitely not a reality star.”
Brittany definitely “did not sign up for that.” But there she was, married to a man who was crossing the line in front of millions of Netflix viewers. She recalls feeling out of control:
“It felt like it was a running snowball that I couldn’t catch. I didn’t know what the heck was going on because it was so public and I couldn’t control it.”
Now, she says she’s in a better place with it all:
“I know the truth…. That’s all that matters.”
But at the time? The X star was in so much pain over what was happening in her marriage that she struggled to eat after the split. Awful.

But she found a way to help change the mindset she was in! By treating herself with kid gloves. More or less literally. She started talking to herself “like a kid”. She explained:
“I’d be like, ‘OK, baby girl, do you want a bagel? Let’s get you a bagel. We’re going to toast it. We’re going to put some cream cheese on it. Is that all you can eat? Okay, that’s okay.’ I started realizing that I was eating whatever I wanted.”
She revealed that little trick worked so well and “completely changed my way of thinking about my body”. In fact, the John Tucker Must Die alum continues to utilize it to this day! She continued:
“I was talking to myself like someone I loved. And then I just never stopped doing that.”
Aww. We’re glad to hear Brittany has found that love for herself, especially after all she’s been through. That takes real strength.
Thoughts, Perezcious readers?
