As 2021 is close to coming to an end, Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna’s youngest daughter, actress-model Amelia Gray Hamlin, takes a look back at the highs and lows she experienced in the past year.
Taking to her social media, the 20-year-old star shared a collection of pictures in which she highlighted some of her high and low points during the past year and captioned the post, "2021... the year of the bleached brow & dreams coming true. The year that I completely lost my sense of self. I did not know that I would reclaim it even more authentically. That year I went to New York and never left. Thank you, 2021. Thank you to everyone who helped make my dreams a reality... you know who you are!!! I love you! "
The star came under the spotlight when she was spotted with Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum and Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, Scott Disick, in October 2020. In September 2021, the couple broke up due to the viral direct message Scott Disick sent to Kourtney’s ex, Younes Bendjima, and he made it public. In the screenshot of the DM that was leaked or shared by Younes, Scott allegedly mocked Kourtney’s affection for her then-boyfriend, and now fiancé, Travis Barker. Scott wrote while sending a picture of Kravis on a yacht in Italy, "Yo is this chick OK!???? Brooo, like, what is this? In the middle of Italy. " Younes responded to Scott, "It doesn’t matter to me as long as she’s happy. PS: I ain’t your bro. "
As soon as the screenshot went viral, the news of Amelia Hamlin and Scott Disick going their separate ways started to circle, and the news of them breaking up was confirmed in September. Amelia’s mother, Lisa Rinna, had shared that the DM scandal did not help her daughter’s already rocky relationship, but only contributed to it. "There’s never one reason why I think people split up, you know. Now’s the time to heal. Now’s the time for everyone to heal, "she said.
Harry Hamlin appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where he addressed the split and expressed that he is glad that the two have broken up. He said, "Look, Amelia’s doing great. She’s living in New York, and she’s having the time of her life solo. I have no idea [about the breakup]. I didn’t pull the curtain. I have no idea what exactly happened there. I’m just glad that she is solo. Put it that way. "
A source has previously revealed that Amelia is doing great post-breakup with Scott Disick. The source added, "Amelia has totally moved on since her relationship with Scott. She’s happy doing her own thing, working on her career, and is excited about her future in general. She really isn’t holding onto any type of hope of a reconciliation between her and Scott. "
According to reports, Amelia is even open to dating, but not looking for anything serious as of now. A source close to Amelia shared, "It has to be the right person. She hasn't closed herself off at all to dating; it'll just never be with Scott Discik again. She is not opposed to dating someone in the spotlight, and her age is not a problem for her. She can date someone younger or older. It's not a deal-breaker. She is taking some time to figure out what she wants in her next relationship, but is having fun hanging out with guys and finding something new. She's done with Scott Disick, and she'd be fine never speaking to him again, and her parents are happy about that. "
With her recent look back post, it is quite understandable that the actress-model is now focusing on herself and is in a good place. She has been under the spotlight since her childhood because of her famous parents, and she knows how to deal with it. In 2018, Amelia got pretty candid about her struggle with an eating disorder and how she's on her journey to recovery.
Amelia Hamlin mentioned, "I feel comfortable with finally posting something that I wish I was confident enough to post long ago. Last year, at this time, there was no doubt that I was not okay. Not only physically, but also mentally... Instead of people ever commenting on my mental stability, they comment on my weight. Usually, when people are struggling with an eating disorder, it stems from their mind, and their bodies are a reflection of that. Once I got the help that I needed, shortly after the second photo was taken, I began to try to love myself for me."
Lisa Rinna also addressed the eating disorder of Amelia in one of the episodes of her reality show a year later. Amelia reflected on her journey and shared why she finally spoke up; "I didn’t tell anyone I planned to ‘come out,’ so to speak. Instead, I took my phone down to the beach to be alone and started drafting an Instagram post—just writing it down helped me a lot. I started crying. Even for me, it was powerful to read the truth. I felt lighter. I wish I could pull up a screen and show the world a play-by-play of my past. "
As soon as the story came out, there were a lot of other stories that came out saying that Lisa Rinna did not help her with dealing with her eating disorder, which she clarified by stating, "My mom tried to help me so much, but every time I’d just be like, ‘No, I’m fine, I’m just on a weight-loss journey." Having people say she didn’t do enough hurts my heart so much. If they could only see how much I rejected her help and how much I pushed her away, it would hurt me for her. "
We're just relieved that Amelia Hamlin is taking care of herself and is surrounded by people who adore her.
