The star disclosed that she had been recently apprehended by authorities.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) stopped her while attempting to catch a flight due to a salty snack she intended to bring along.

Despite the actress offering to discard the seeds, officials insisted she stay in place as they looked into the matter of the unopened bag.
“I nearly didn’t catch the flight,” the 55-year-old disclosed. “It was truly something nobody would have believed! I was messaging my publicist saying, ‘I could miss this plane, and you won’t believe the reason.’”

However, this constant criticism made her feel extremely anxious and diminished her sense of worth.
