Viola Davis Bailed On 28-Day Cleanse After How Many Days? + More Crazy Celeb Diets!

Dieting is hard … even for celebs. Just ask Viola Davis! The “Widows” star revealed that she attempted to drop some lbs recently, but completely bailed on the cleanse soon after she started.

A 28-day cleanse is pretty normal for the Hollywood crowd. Sometimes it’s all juice, sometimes it’s a bit more intense — Davis went with the latter. During an interview with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night, Viola revealed the bizarre cleanse she attempted and why she could only last two days.

“We had to meditate every day and do other stuff,” Davis, 53, told the “Tonight Show“ host. “And we couldn’t eat. Well, we could eat. But we couldn’t chew and we couldn’t suck. So we had to sip all of our food because sucking and chewing was an act of aggression. And it was about completing everything. Living in forgiveness. … I want to release my anger.”

Wait. No chewing or sucking?! Sounds insane. And even Viola’s husband thought it was crazy telling the actress, “Why the hell would you want to do something like that, V!? I ain’t never seen you miss a meal. I don’t know how the hell you gonna do something like that.” Well, he was right. All it took was an upsetting call from her niece and Davis was hitting the drive-thru.

“She pissed me off so damn bad. Went upstairs, ate a hamburger. Went to the drive-thru at McDonald’s,” Davis said of giving up. “Couldn’t drink alcohol – had a big thing of vodka and soda water and lemon.”

And in the words of every Black woman everywhere Viola claimed, “I don’t have time for this!” when telling the make-up artist why the cleanse wasn’t for her.

Viola may have tried, and failed, at this crazy cleanse, but she’s not the first celeb to do some outlandish things in an attempt at looking and feeling good.
