When in the spotlight, a celebrity’s weight is often monitored and any fluctuation in what is seen as a ‘normal’ weight can often causes a stir in the press. Whenever a celebrity drops weight, rumors begin to emerge that the star in question might have an eating disorder. At least that is what happened for these 5 celebs, but all have them have fought back at the rumors, claiming that they eat healthy and aren’t suffering from anorexia despite the reports. Miley Cyrus is the most recent star to battle eating disorder reports after she dropped some weight following a gluten-free diet.
Celine Dion
Celine claimed she was not suffering from an eating disorder and has always been naturally thin: “I am not anorexic. It pisses people off that I am thin and I don’t make any effort. I have been thin all my life. Nobody in my family is overweight.”
Miley Cyrus
After her recent weight loss, it was reported that Miley had an eating disorder, but she denied it, stating her weight loss was as a result of a healthy diet: “For everyone calling me anorexic I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It’s not about weight it’s about health. Gluten is crapppp anyway! Everyone should try no gluten fora week! The change in your skin, phyisical and mental health is amazing! You won’t go back!”
Keira Knightley
Keira has a family history when it comes to anorexia, but she’s never experienced it herself: “People said to me yesterday, ‘How does it feel to be anorexic?’ I had no idea that I was. I can safely say that I’m not. I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia. My grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it. In a way it’s good that it’s out there and people are talking about it. It’s quite interesting because it’s normally high-achieving women who suffer from it because, I guess, they’re control freaks.”
Kate Moss
Despite past controversial comments, Kate says she doesn’t like to see her body looking too thin and says she’s never had anorexia: “I was never anorexic, so I was never that skinny. I was never boney-boney. But I remember thinking, ‘I don’t want to be this skinny’. I didn’t eat for a long time. Not on purpose. You’d be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane, and the food would be so disgusting you couldn’t eat it. You go to a show, and there’s no food at all, so if you’re doing shows back to back, you can forget eating. I remember standing up in the bath one day, and there was a mirror in front of me, and I was so thin! I hated it. I never liked being that skinny.”
Eva Herzigova
Eva hit back at claims that she had anorexia, listing some indulgent foods she enjoys: “I don’t know where these rumours about me started. But I want everyone to know I’m happy and healthy. I eat and drink what I like – saucy food, Italian food, French wine, anything like that. I’m not suffering and I don’t feel ill. I’m just naturally very thin. My figure goes up and down. Maybe I looked thinner in pictures.”
