Celebrities
With Anorexia
6
Many celebrities have suffered from anorexia. Some
willingly shared their stories, while others had their
struggles exposed by the media.
Several celebrities have said that their eating disorders
arose from pressures in the music and entertainment
industries to maintain a certain body image.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga revealed her struggles with
anorexia and bulimia in 2012. She
admitted she had suffered from the two
since age 15. She started a foundation
called Born This Way, which connects
young people with resources to improve
their body image and self-esteem. [1]
1
Kesha
Kesha also struggled with anorexia,
saying, “I felt like part of my job was
to be as skinny as possible.” She
reportedly went to rehab for the
eating disorder in 2014 and came out
with a new acceptance of herself. [2]
2
Hilary Duff
The actress who played Lizzie
McGuire admits to suffering from an
eating disorder in her teens. She
reports being too thin, struggling to
eat, and suffering from hand cramps
due to a lack of nutrients. [3]
3
Calista Flockhart
The “Ally McBeal” TV star admitted that
she had anorexia during the filming of
the show in the late 1990s. “I started
under-eating, over-exercising, pushing
myself too hard and brutalizing my
immune system.” [4]
4
Alanis Morissette
Alanis reportedly suffered from
anorexia and bulimia when she was
trying to break into the music scene.
She attributes her recovery to going to
therapy and educating herself about
nutrition. She is also a proponent of
mindfulness meditation and yoga. [5, 6]
5
Portia de Rossi
In her book, Unbearable Lightness, de
Rossi reports struggling with an eating
disorder since she was 12 years old. She
admits that in early 2000 she weighed
82 pounds and ate 300 calories a day.
She finally got help after her brother
confronted her about the illness. [7]
