'You feel very helpless': Christina Ricci recalls supporting her family in financially difficult times

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Christina Ricci has candidly revealed her experiences with financial hardship and also the struggles she faced with self-esteem.

In the latest episode of the podcast 'Let's Be Clear With Shannen Doherty', the actress disclosed she has faced periods of financial instability and how she managed crises.

Christina Ricci says being broke is a 'visceral feeling'

The 'Addams Family' star who shares 15-month-old daughter Cleo with husband Mark Hampton, and eight-year-old son Freddie, whom she shares with ex-husband James Heerdegen talked about her experience of having to financially support her family for several years.

"I've gone through periods as an adult where we were really, really broke," she told host Shannen Doherty.

"You just have that thing of, 'I don't ever want to feel this way ever again.' It's like this visceral feeling," Ricci explained.

"I don't ever want to feel this helpless, because I think that's what not having a lot of money makes you feel like. You feel very helpless," she continued.

Christina Ricci says husband Mark Hampton is 'really supportive'

Ricci previously shared with Sunday Times Style that she sold parts of her jewelry collection and sold some of her Chanel handbags to cover the legal fees of her 2020 divorce from Heerdegen.

"Certain traumas in life go along with financial traumas, extended court situations, custody situations [and] fighting restraining orders," Ricci told the publication.

In a recent talk with the podcast host Doherty, the actress shared, "There's a ton of that pressure and it's hard. You have to work to support your family but at the same time working takes away time from your family."

"So yeah, it's difficult but I'm in a really good place now. Again, I have a really supportive husband," she added.

Christina Ricci reveals why she ignores criticism on social media

Explaining how social media can negatively impact a person's self-esteem, Ricci said that it "can just put you in a really vulnerable position."

"You do hear the negative stuff the loudest, and it's tough," the 'Yellowjackets' star continued.

"I have experience with a person who his whole thing is just posting horrible, nasty things about me. It's like all stuff that's made up -- horrible things about my children, my family," she said.

"So I've just really had to ignore it. It's that school ground mentality... but on such a huge level and such a public platform," she added, according to Entertainment Tonight.
