Remember a few years ago, back in 2006, when Nicole Richie was REALLY thin (a size 0) and had us all worried for her health? She even told Vanity Fair at the time that she knew she was too thin. Well, that’s technically not an admission of an eating disorder. Now Nicole is going on the record with the British Marie Claire.
“I felt it was a little unfair to say someone has an eating disorder when they don’t,” she says. “It’s extremely insulting and irresponsible. An eating disorder is serious and it’s a disease.”
Yes, it is serious. And Nicole was really thin!
However, Nicole says she’s stopped dwelling on the past since having Harlow and Sparrow.
“I’m just one to live in the present and enjoy the time that I’m having,” she says. “Going into my past is just not something that I do. Right now I’m just living my dreams.”
Motherhood does seem to have settled Nicole. I’m truly happy to see her doing so well.
So why even bring this up? I’m confused. Why do you think Nicole is even discussing this, FOUR years later?

Some people talk about her having an ED back when she was on drugs and gain so much weight. Now that shes back to her normal size she automatically she has an eating disorder. Reporters and blogs should let it go. If she has moved on, then why bring it up every time?? All that matters is that she has better herself and is leaving all negative things in the past. People should move on as well.
When you can count every bone in someone’s body when they are prancing around the beach in a bikini that is falling off them there is definitely something wrong. It’s either an eating disorder or a bad drug problem. And like I said before, someone with an ED doesn’t openly discuss it or admit it.
i really like her with the dark hair
when she went in for booking for DUI, it was reported that she was 5’1 and 85 lbs….according to BMI that is considered underweight. she was rail thin then – i mean grossly skinny – she wasn’t healthy at all. even her hair was ratty and had awful skin.
She’s bringing this back up cause she’s hanging out with that skinny minnie (Rachael Zoe) again…… I hope she dosn’t go back to that ‘look’ again.
What people don’t post about, is that Nicole is like 5’4 or something like that, plus she’s built tiny. She has tiny features and a tiny frame. She doesn’t have an eating disorder. Every single time a celeb loses weight quickly or they are photographed looking super thin 1 time, they automatically have an eating disorder. If they’re photographed wearing a flowing shirt or covering their stomach..they’re pregnant. Give me a break. I love Nichole.
Up until the end of college, I was always naturally bone thin. That said, most of the time I think you can tell the difference between someone who has a naturally small build and someone who is unhealthily and almost deliberately underweight. Nicole should just do us all a favor and stop insulting US by continuing to deny a problem that was all too obvious.
bmi doesn’t mean anything, not everyone has to be within BMI to be healthy. she didn’t have an eating disorder she was doing drugs at that time still.
Or people could stop asking about it, since it’s none of our business.
are you saying everyone who’s 5’4 and built tiny looks the way she did?? I’m 5’2 and petite also, and my bones aren’t visible. thanks.
well said. Who does she think she’s fooling??
I agree its totally insulting and unfair to claim that nicole is suffering from eating disorder just because she lost so much weight.
The media are just waiting for a chance to make up stories about celebs and get publicity.
mmmm, wild guess would be all the Rachel Zoe stories, and her proximity.
Who THE HELL is Behind “iamamiwhoami” Clips on YouTube?
hmmmm… I’m gonna guess YOU. What a lame plug.
Obviously, she is discussing it because a reporter asked her about it.
every one knows she had an ED. time for her to move on… every one else has
Perhaps she knew it’d get some attention.
She shouldn’t be insulted. People were concerned. She lost a lot of weight really fast and there was no reason behind it.
if she wasn’t anorexia…then what was she? she was obviously dangerously underweight. don’t know who she’s fooling, but I guess it’s typical….most people who have E.D. deny, deny deny. and you can’t say she’s naturally thin because we’ve all seen her in her chunky days.
The way you say she’s anorexia makes it sound like she’s a supervillain.
I’m 5’2 and a size zero and I have never looked so unhealthy. She was beyond just having a petite frame. She didn’t have any muscle tone at all. I definitely think she had a disorder.
I’m figuring maybe a reporter brought this up, because otherwise it seems totally unnecessary. Nobody has talked about this for years.
Lol! Good one!
