Rita Ora breaks down in tears and reveals she’s ‘broken’ as she discusses her ‘struggle’ on podcast
RITA Ora broke down in tears and revealed she is “broken” after discussing her “struggle” on a podcast.
The superstar singer, 32, was overcome with emotion while appearing on Steven Bartlett‘s Diary of a CEO podcast.
Rita spoke about her struggles while being at the height of fame.
She said: “I was on a rollercoaster, living my dream but then when I would wake up it’d be like silent and it wouldn’t feel nice.
“There was a sense of having to work to prove myself, I was a naive young dreamer and that’s exactly what you should be at that age.”
When asked about failures through out her career, Rita said: “Certain things not positioning chart wise how you wanted or making decisions that may have not been right. Mistakes being made.
Speaking about how she deals with it, the Hot Right Now star added: “I feel broken, it makes me feel like everything I’ve done is about to disappear and takes me back to the fear of losing everything.
“When the world is looking at you, you just break down, you just get so fearful.”
She continued: “All I think about is my mum and dad because they’ve worked so hard to get me to this point, I have my whole family to keep afloat.
“You can’t help but always blame yourself for everything, the only way forward is to keep moving forward.
“I’ve always tried to be myself and be very genuine and I’ve never changed who I am, I don’t always get it right but who does. But I feel more human, I’m just a human at the end of the day.”
Rita things came to a head when she suffered her first panic attack at a Prince’s Trust event in 2016 when she was waiting in a line to meet King Charles.
Rita recently released her third album You & I, which is on course to go to No3 on Friday, behind J Hus’ new record and last week’s chart-topper from Taylor Swift.
The raw and vulnerable album lifts the lid on how she has really felt trying to grow as the world looked on.
The R.I.P star, who married Taika Waititi last year, described her third album as a “full-blown love story”.
Rita released her debut album Ora aged just 21 in 2012 and has not looked back with a string of hits.
