Portia de Rossi Talks About Her Battle with Anorexia
Wednesday March 22, 2006
Actress Portia de Rossi, 33, admits that she has struggled with eating disorders for as long as she can remember. In next month's issue of Vogue magazine, the actress talks openly about days spent eating less than 300 calories, binging, and purging.
At one low point, the five-foot-eight beauty found herself at an alarming 82 pounds. Hollywood loves to reward weight loss, but sometimes the stars take it too far. With therapy and emotional support from girlfriend Ellen De Generes, Portia is back to her current 125-pound weight and hopes to keep improving.
