Tracy Spiridakos recalls her "body flaws" being circled with Sharpie at a modeling agency meeting as a 17 year old.
"They said, 'You have to lose weight here, here, and here if you want to do this,'" she recounted.
The Chicago P.D. star described the meeting as a "gut punch," but says her "very protective" brother swooped in to defend her from the slight.
Before she played tough-as-nails detective Hailey Upton on Chicago P.D., Tracy Spiridakos learned the hard way how strong you need to be to survive a life in the spotlight.
Back when Spiridakos was 17, she won a modeling contest, which meant the Winnipeg, Canada native and one of her brothers packed up and took off for a meeting at a modeling agency. "I got there and they gave me a bikini and told me to put the bikini on and they were going to take some pictures," Spiridakos recalled on Monday's episode of the I've Never Said This Before podcast.
