The Water Diet: It all started when she (former A+ list singer in a group) was a sophomore in high school. She had a boyfriend she really liked and would do anything for him. The couple had sex several times. Then, all of a sudden the guy dumped her. She had no clue as to why. She became convinced it was because she was too fat (she wasn't) and did a water diet where she lost well over twenty pounds in a couple of weeks. The guy still didn't take her back. She didn't understand. Well, behind the scenes, a sibling had threatened to kill the boyfriend if he didn't stop seeing the singer. So, the boyfriend stopped. It turns out the sibling needed the singer to focus on music. He also needed her to be available to be passed around to record executives and other men who could do them favors. The singer just assumed it was because of her weight and never let herself gain weight again.

Most of that is true, except the last line. If you know anything about anorexia, it’s much more complicated than that.

Karen stopped eating because it was her coping mechanism.

reply

What was she coping with?

reply

Stress of her career. Insecurities. Meddling mother. People controlling her. Etc.

reply

I see.

reply

What a load. She chose not to eat. She chose to ruin her health.

Entertainment lawyer is pronounced "massive liar"!
