Natasha, 40, from Rialto, California, is the latest “star” of TLC’s “My Strange Addiction.” The newest episode of the controversial (and at times stomach turning) series delves into her addiction to eating clay face masks.

Check out a preview for the episode below, embedded at the end of this post.

Natasha developed her addiction 7 years ago, when a friend of hers suggested she tried a bit of the powder because she’d been complaining of craving rocks.

Since then, she’s eaten an estimated 1,000 pounds (453.5 kg). That’s half a ton, in case you were wondering.

Natasha explains that she can hardly go a few minutes without getting her “fix” of clay. She doesn’t care what her partner or her work colleagues think or how much they make fun of her.

She’s so hooked that she even puts the powder on her chips, or “unwinds” after a tough week at work with a beer and clay.
