Michelle Williams visited “The Talk” yesterday, October 18th, 2017, and one of the discussion topics involved depression. Williams opened up about her own dealings and feelings of depression. Williams revealed she had been suffering with depression since the age of 13, and continued into her years of being in Destiny’s Child.
“For years, I’m in one of the top-selling female groups of all time suffering with depression,” she said. Williams said she didn’t understand what she was going through until she was in her thirties. “It got really really bad…to the point of I was suicidal,” she said. “I was to that place where it got so dark and heavy because sometimes you feel like ‘I’m the provider, I take care of people, I’m not supposed to be feeling this way—what do I do?’ I wanted out.”
Williams went on to discuss even trying to open up to former manager Matthew Knowles.
“When I disclosed it to our manager at the time — bless his heart — he was like, ‘y’all just signed a multi-million dollar deal, you’re about to go on tour, what do you have to be depressed about?’
Williams wants to speak out and “normalize this mental health discussion.” Watch her story in full below.
