As TLC brings back the reality series “My Strange Addiction” after a 10-year hiatus, viewers are once again plunged into the shocking world of individuals consumed by unusual fixations that shape their day-to-day lives.
In the newly released trailer, Wendy from Florida is seen indulging in her addiction to raw meat, a habit that has plagued her since childhood. As she nonchalantly munches on raw hamburger meat in a nail salon, Wendy reveals the tension it has caused in her personal life, particularly with her fiancé’s family.
Another featured individual in the upcoming season is a woman who consumes glue sticks, much to the concern of her worried grandmother. Despite the health risks highlighted by a doctor, she remains unfazed by the potential consequences of her unusual habit.
Carlos, another participant in the series, admits to consuming live insects on a daily basis, despite the shame it brings and the warning from a doctor about the risks involved. The season also follows a bodybuilder obsessed with size, individuals addicted to eating grass, makeup, or cardboard, and a veteran with PTSD surrounded by over 100 snakes.

He promises a bold, surprising, and unforgettable season that showcases real and extraordinary human experiences in a way that captivates audiences unlike anything else.
