Why Heidi Klum Stripped Down in the Middle of an Interview

Heidi Klum knows how the beat the heat. 

The America's Got Talent judge got a little too hot while eating a particularly spicy chicken wing. So much so that she decided to rip open her shirt for a quick cool down.

"I thought buttermilk would do the trick," Heidi admitted during the June 20 episode of Hot Ones after taking a bite of the wing covered in Da Bomb sauce. "I'm getting hot. That one is the kicker."

First, the 51-year-old chugged the dairy product, but when that failed, she undid the buttons on her blue denim shirt to reveal her bra in front of a very flustered Sean Evans. As the host continued to ask her questions, the heat from the sauce continued to overpower her senses.

After learning that the heat from the spice would take five to 10 minutes to fade, Heidi made her decision: Pulling off her top and putting it behind her, she said, "I have to take this off."

But that wasn't the only way the reaction to the spice manifested as the supermodel's nose couldn't stop running. "Now I'm better," she said while blowing her nose into a tissue, "I think—not really."

Still, Heidi took the challenge in stride, especially since she's not accustomed to eating spicy foods because of her kids, Leni, 20, Henry, 18, Johan, 17 and Lou, 14, who she shares with ex-husband Seal.

"Having four kids, if I put pepper on the food, they're like, 'Ooh mom, that's a little hot,'" she explained. "I've been cooking, and people who have cooked for my family have always been super mild for the kids."

And after seeing her reaction back following the episode's release, the Germany's Next Top Model host couldn't help but poke fun and the hot moment. She wrote in her June 21 caption of the video, "Feeling the heat."

And on her Instagram Stories, she shared a video of herself eating a chicken wing, joking, "It's not spicy enough!"
