After much speculation in the tabloids recently that Mary-Kate Olsen has an eating disorder, the teen actress has entered a facility to seek treatment for the problem.
There have also been rumors that Olsen has a drug problem, rumors which
her representative categorically denies. "Those rumors are false, damaging and inaccurate," Michael Pagnotta said.
Instead, Pagnotta said that Olsen, who turned 18 on June 13, was seeking professional help for a "health-related issue." Sources tell MTV News that the health-related issue in question is an eating disorder, but they didn't specify whether it's anorexia or bulimia.
Mary-Kate and her twin sister, Ashley, discussed the drug and eating-disorder rumors in the May 3 issue of People. "Being in the public eye, you're labeled that you have an eating disorder," Ashley said. "You have a drug addiction," Mary-Kate said. "We don't have problems! There's nothing to worry about," Ashley said. "If I had a drug addiction, I would be in a thingy — like Promises, the Malibu [rehab] place," Mary-Kate said. "You don't see me there. So, like, come on. It's crazy."
Perhaps more succinctly, Mary-Kate addressed her body-image problems, or lack thereof, in a Teen People story in January. "I don't break myself down into body parts," she said. "You can't go through life thinking like that, or you will always end up comparing yourself to someone else. When I'm feeling good on the inside, I'm usually happy with the way I look."
Pagnotta noted that "getting healthy" was Mary-Kate's priority right now, so that she could go to school with nothing hanging over her in the fall. Both of the sisters are slated to start attending New York University as freshmen in September.
"[Mary-Kate] is thankful for the encouragement and support of her friends and family who are with her every step of the way," Pagnotta said in a statement released Tuesday (June 22).

This pisses me off. One of the big "haha its funny cuz its true" epidemics in America are te 70% adult obesity rates and the what 50% adolescent eating disorder rates? People are dying and decaying all over the country because our national image is so ed up. WW II gen had the Army Dude and the Stay At Home Hotty. What are we? What image do we need, what lifestyle do we have that demands a certain body type? Body type reflecting the nature of ones activities of course. The self-centered isolationist in all Americans is getting disgusting with it not NEEEDING to be strong so they aren't or dudes not dating chicks who arent 14% bf% or just skinny...they dont care.
And then all of a sudden its in the papers that some famous people have it. Its like when the local news talks about this "Dangerous New Trend" of "street racing" that kids are apparently doing after someone dies.
God, I hate people. Everywhere. In all times. They are ing morons who only become concerned when someone dies. They advocated something because THEY GOT AFFECTED BY IT. Instead of helping your fat sister work her ass out, you wait till she dies then become a herald that you need to work out.
It makes doing nothing easy and somehow people RESPECT IT! |

i cmopletely agree...i always get mad when i see murder cases blown out of proportion on tv like the ramsey case or that one in california right now...
does the fact that she was a little girl in beauty pagents or that one was pregnant with a child make it anymore important than any other murders that take place on a daily basis...no...but still we only hear about the "sad" ones... |

doesn't matter, Ashley is the hotter one.
and it doesn't look like she got too bad with her eating disorder. Anorexics usually get much much much thinner and bonier.
I knew an anorexic, and a bulemic, those two are pretty bad things that can ruin your health.
at least she is getting treatement this soon... |
