Allegra Beck Versace Anorexic

Posted by Lori Henry Apr 18, 2007

The daughter of Donatella Verscare, Allegra Beck, is 20 years old. Her mother has gone public and announced that she is suffering from anorexia.

She told the press via her spokesman, “Our daughter, Allegra has been battling anorexia, a very serious disease for many years. She is receiving the best medical care possible to help overcome this illness and is responding well.” (MSNBC News, 2007)

This statement has quenched the rumors that were going around the internet about Allegra’s skeletal figure. She has been photographed for many years and the rumors were getting worse.

Her mother decided to go public in order to get the media attention away from her. The statement also says that she has been battling the disease for many years and that giving her privacy during this time in her life is much appreciated while she tries to recover.

Currently, she is undergoing treatment in the United States, not in a hospital, as was recently reported.
