Olsen twin treated for anorexia
- Thread starter Cardinal Fang
- Start date
Nancy Groover, publisher of New Moon magazine, a periodical aimed at girls aged 8 to 14, predicts the revelation could have several effects on fans. "The story is not so much about the pressure of fame but that even extraordinary success can't shield girls from the pressures our culture exerts on them," Groover said.
A disorder like anorexia is all about struggling for control, she said, and young girls do that constantly in many ways, including getting the message they "should" look a certain way.
She said the news should help teach adults and parents to value girls "for who they are and what they do, not for how they look." Douglas Bunnell, board chairman of the National Eating Disorders Association, hopes the story of Mary-Kate's battle educates the public that a disease such as anorexia is far from being "a lifestyle choice of rich girls."
He added that "young women are in clinics across the country right now struggling with this very same issue."

When I was getting groceries the other day I saw a publication that said Mary-Kate was in rehab for a coke habit...and not the first time. Say it ain't so.
The rehab centre she's in is known for its drug & alcohol treatment, not eating disorders. Draw your own conclusion.
Hmmm, let's see. I have millions of dollars at my disposal and I'll enter a rehab centre that isn't even specialized in dealing with my particular "problem". Right...

I watched the Olsen girls on Oprah the other day. They addressed the rumers of anorexia and denied them. The girls say that they eat healthy but are just tiny.
Rehab? mmmmmm who can believe the news these days, anybody who makes it is a target for bullshit accusatioins.

When every magazine has the Olsen twins on the cover with headlines screaming "COKEHEAD", I tend to believe them if for no other reason then they'd be getting their asses sued off if it wasn't true.
The tabloids do tend to get it right, most weeks, about gossip.Keebler Elf said:
