Nicole Richie’s Anorexia

Posted by Lori Henry Jun 1, 2007

Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton have yet again been tied to the eating disorder anorexia, rehab and hospitals.

Just weeks after Nicole reportedly got out of rehab for anorexia and substance abuse, she sent an email to friends inviting them to a Memorial Day BBQ. Allegedly, after the where, when and why’s, she wrote, "There will be a scale at the front door. No girls over 100 pounds allowed in. Start starving yourself now" (Exposay, 2007)

In an interview with Dr. Joyce Brothers, the Doctor stated, "Clearly, she is thumbing her nose at the people in rehab. It's a huge form of acting out, and it shows that the treatment for her eating disorder did not do any good" (In Touch Magazine, 2007).

Dr. Majid Ali, a nutritionist, was quoted as saying, "I would place Nicole's weight at about 83 pounds. At 5'1, she should weigh 105 to 110 pounds. You can see a bit of bloat of her belly, consistent with a malnutrition syndrome. I would be very concerned for her health if I was a family member" (In Touch Magazine, 2007).

At the BBQ, Mischa apparently fell down and shrieked that she was dying. The two girls have repeatedly denied rumors of suffering from anorexia and have done nothing to quell the suspicions. Their weight seems to drop on a constant basis and they both look dangerously sick.
