‘Everyone needs to get addicted to one thing at least once in their life to prove to themselves that they can break an addiction ,’ claimed comedian Rachel Sennott, during an episode of internet show, SubwayTakes.

‘Play with the fire,’ she adds. ‘I was addicted to laxatives for one year.’

It might have been a tongue-in-cheek comment from the I Love LA actress, but her words hit a nerve.

‘Never disagreed with someone this quick,’ wrote @ BBallQueens. ‘How out of touch do you have to be to act like addiction is some cute little quirk,’ @brunolovrr added.

Even host, Kareem Rahma, looked perplexed, saying: ‘I’m gonna… push back on that.’
