Christina Ricci admits a man sent her a printed out picture of his penis in the mail
Christina Ricci opened up about the first ever 'd--- pic' she received when she was only 11. The star explained it all started with a few prank calls.
Christina Ricci detailed an unsettling incident she faced as a young girl before her astounding fame.
The actress admitted that, when she was only a preteen, she saw a printed out picture of a man's penis after he sent it in the mail. On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she said, "When I was 11, I had a group of girlfriends, and we would all call 1-800-Mattress ... We prank-called them so much that we ended up having a regular guy that we would talk to named Jared."
One of her friends gave the man her address before "he sent a picture of his penis in the mail." Christina added, "It was a printed-out photo developed at CVS Photoshop or something."
The group stayed quiet about the incident, not involving family or the police. Instead, they opted to just stop calling the Mattress company number.
The actress played it cool, laughing off the incident, with Jimmy saying that the main "invented the d--- pic." Christian replied, "It certainly was the first d--- pic I saw."
Jimmy added, "I mean, that's a lot of effort. He gets an 'A' for effort, and he also gets a 'P' for pervert."
For Christina, this was just one of many difficult incidents she occurred as a child. The star previously opened up about facing child abuse as a kid, thanking acting for giving her an "escape." She told Entertainment Tonight: “As a kid, it was an escape from, like, a horrendous childhood and just getting to go away — be in hotels and be on set and be with other adults and be valued. All the little things that sort of are negative about the industry and the career, they’ve always been things that I’ve just been like, ‘Well, real life is worse.’”
Christina's escape brought her to become a powerful A-lister with a roster of successful projects under her belt, including Prozac Nation, Buffalo '66, and, The Lizzie Borden Chronicles. The latest of her hit acting gigs, Yellowjackets, became a fan favorite television show in which she plays the eccentric Misty.
The show centers around a group of teenage girls attempting to survive in the wilderness after their plane crash landed. It bounces between scenes in the wild and a more recent story unfolding in modern day where Christina plays the adult version of the team's equipment manager.
Misty stuns the audience right away by finding and breaking the plane's radio in secret. Her odd behavior only extends into adulthood as she battles with the desire to be needed in her life. Using a collection of interesting skills, Misty becomes a citizen detective and pairs up with the other adult survivors as they deal with fear, paranoia, and a sense that someone might just be out to reveal their secrets from the past.
