WORLD: Mimi, you felt so much – beauty, fame, a supposed dream job. In everyday life, however, you woke up in your own vomit after drinking. A double life, right? Mimi: I basically had two identities. On the one hand, there was me as I really was. My real life behind closed doors. A young mother – daughter Ava is now 21 years old, i. Red. – who drinks secretly. Before that there was the drinking teenager, then the drinking wife, later the drinking colleague on set. And outwardly there was my fake personality from the start, a dummy. I was like the film sets in Babelsberg. I built whatever was needed to distract from what’s really going on. Because behind it was not the illusory world that I showed around the front. Behind the dummy was an ever-increasing devastation that was always capable of destroying everything.
