Christina Ricci Reveals Disturbing Childhood Incident Involving Unsolicited Photo

Christina Ricci recently recounted a disturbing incident from her childhood on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, revealing that at age 11, she and her friends frequently prank-called 1-800-Mattress and developed a rapport with a man named Jared. The situation escalated when one of her friends gave Jared her address, resulting in him sending a printed photo of his penis to the girls. Ricci, who initially laughed about the absurdity of the incident, noted that they never reported it to their parents or the police and simply stopped calling the number. Kimmel humorously remarked that the man essentially 'invented the d*** pic,' a sentiment that Ricci echoed, stating it was her first encounter with such an image. The actress also reflected on her childhood experiences and how they differ from her son's fascination with her analog upbringing. Despite the unsettling nature of the incident, Ricci viewed her early stardom as an escape from a challenging childhood.
