Lorrie Arias – a former contestant of “The Swan” who has slammed the show for ruining her life – thinks Erin Moran needs to consider major therapy if she appears on the show that claims to turn “ugly ducklings” into beautiful swans.
“I think Erin Moran would need a lot of therapy before she does anything like that,” Arias, 42, told RadarOnline. “I have seen that she is unstable.”
The down-and-out Moran has been in the midst of a shocking downward spiral since her days as Joanie Cunningham on the beloved ’70s sitcom ‘Happy Days.’ She is now reportedly living in an Indiana trailer park since getting evicted from her Hollywood home.
With “The Swan” set to return as a two-hour special this summer with celebrities on the operating table, Moran and famed White House intern Monica Lewinsky have been rumored as cast members for the reboot.
While Arias thinks Moran could use a psychological evaluation, she said Lewinsky will be just fine.
“Monica Lewinsky, she has self-esteem,” Arias told the gossip site. “She worked at the White House….You have to have some kind of self-esteem for that. Before the show she’s fine…and afterwards she’ll be even better.”
As The Post reported, Arias said she has gained 300 lbs. since her 2005 appearance on the show and suffers from bipolar disorder, lupus and depression. She said she has become a prisoner in her Southern California home since receiving a $300,000 cosmetic overhaul on the original series.
While on the show Arias had multiple procedures done, including a face, butt and chin lift and eight pounds of excess fat and skin removed from her body.
Arias blames much of her misfortune on lack of follow-up treatment from show therapists.
“I had the most surgeries of any Swan in the history of the show and it has all gone to absolute sh-t,” the widowed mother of two said. “I am a 300-pound mess of a person who is afraid to go outside.”
