Why Heidi Klum Ripped Off Her Shirt Mid-Interview

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Heidi Klum made quite the impression during her appearance on Sean Evans’ YouTube series, Hot Ones, on Thursday, June 20.

The supermodel was faced with answering a series of personal questions, both about her life and career, while devouring chicken wings covered in a myriad of sauces, which got spicier as the questions progressed. However, Klum’s bold response to one of the spiciest sauces absolutely stole the show.

As the heat from the spicy sauces intensified, Klum attempted to cool down by chugging buttermilk, saying, “I thought buttermilk would do the trick.” When that didn’t suffice, she dramatically ripped off her denim shirt, revealing a bright red push-up bra underneath. “I’m getting hot,” she declared, before eventually removing her shirt entirely. Evans hilariously responded with, “Woah, WOAH! Now I’m getting hot too, Heidi!”

Before things heated up, Evans delved into Klum’s modeling history, specifically asking about the most expensive outfit she had ever worn. Klum recalled the bra she wore at the 2003 Victoria’s Secret Fashion show, “12.5 million bra and $740,000 panty to match — you gotta have those matching panties — for Victoria’s Secret. It was all encrusted with diamonds and rubies and whatnot. I think I got in the Guinness Book of World Records by wearing the most expensive [lingerie].”

The former Project Runway host recently shared a rare glimpse of her family life with a photo to mark her 51st birthday. “All I could wish for,” she wrote on Instagram on June 1, posting a heartwarming picture of her family, including sons Henry, 18, and Johan, 17, daughters Leni, 20, and Lou, 14, along with her husband, Tom Kaulitz, 34. In the photo, the family is smiling around a table with birthday balloons in the background.

Klum welcomed Leni in May 2004 with ex-boyfriend Flavio Briatore, and after their split, Seal adopted Leni following his marriage to Klum. Together, Klum and Seal had Henry, Johan, and Lou before their separation in 2012.
