Sailor Brinkley Cook believes Good Morning America unfairly edited the interview she gave about her struggles with body dysmorphia.
On Friday, the 21-year-old model and daughter of Christie Brinkley spoke to ABC News correspondent Deborah Roberts about her private battle with eating disorder tendencies, a topic she first came forward with last week on Instagram. But according to Sailor, GMA omitted “95 percent” of what she said during the virtual sit-down, calling the segment that aired “extremely tone deaf.”
“I’m a little upset about the GMA piece that aired this morning,” Sailor shared in a lengthy statement posted to her Instagram Stories. “I have nothing but respect for GMA and Deborah, and have nothing negative to say about either one. But I wanted to set some things straight.”
The rising star continued, “I understand that ‘comparisons to model mom’ and ‘eating disorder struggles’ are great taglines for click bait on news outlets. But when I agreed to do this interview I was under the impression that it would be in a positive light and would be inspirational.”
