Amid a glam photoshoot, Thompson opens up about her mother’s drug abuse that put a strain on their family.
“A lot of folks in this world do not realise how many people are actually really affected by drug and alcohol use,” she says.
“It’s very, very hard. It’s something I’d wish on nobody, for real.”
The mother and daughter duo are working on their relationship and Alana is “proud” of her mom for working on herself.

“Everybody’s all about body positivity, body positivity, until they see a body they don’t like,” she explains.
