Kate Beckinsale Regrets Anorexia Confession

Kate Beckinsale regrets admitting that she once battled anorexia because every time she is interviewed by a magazine, the topic resurfaces.

“The only reason I ever brought it up in the first place is because I was young, I read a lot of misinformation about eating disorders. But, because I picked the wrong magazine to tell my story to, I wished I’d never said anything. It was totally sensationalized and that’s been a real drag. I felt terribly violated. I believe anorexia, alcoholism and drug abuse in teens are more about what is happening in the home than a problem with images in the media. It’s the nice girl’s way of becoming a crack whore. It means they’re in some kind of pain that needs to be addressed.”
