Nicole Richie Isn't Anorexic, Just Stressed

Nicole Richie is speaking out against reports of her having an eating disorder, citing stress (particularly for incessant media attention to her thin frame) as the main factor for her weight loss and constant thinness. Read on!


Nicole Richie Attributes Constant Media Poking To Thin Figure

Socialite Nicole Richie is begging tabloid editors to stop poking fun at her skinny frame - because the stress is beginning to make her look anorexic. The Simple Life star has been dogged by the anorexic tag for months, but insists she simply suffers from stress and finds it difficult to eat when she feels she's being judged by photographers and journalists. She recently took supermodel-turned-TV presenter Tyra Banks out for lunch before appearing on her talk show to discuss her weight issues, and confessed stories about her fabled anorexia simply serve to prevent her from gaining weight. Appearing healthy and tanned on Tyra, Richie told the ex-model, "You definitely don't want people constantly looking you up and down. I know the photographers are following me every day; I know that they're looking for something wrong and that doesn't feel good at all. That obviously doesn't help me." Richie revealed she has hired a nutritionist and has therapy sessions in a bid to control her stress levels and gain weight.
