Allegra Versace is Not Doing Well

d-versace-2.jpg
Allegra Versace has been checked into a facility to deal with her anorexia. According to reports, Allegra is 70 pounds and is being fed through a feeding tube and being monitored around the clock. Hopefully she will get the help she needs at this new place as she has been fighting this disease for a while.

Pictures of her looking painfully thin have been out there since 2004. At 11, Allegra inherited quite a lot of money from her late uncle, Gianni Versace, and her years of problems do well to illustrate the fact that money does not always mean happines.

Hopefully she will get better soon. Living with the crazy that is her mother I am guessing has been a stressful upbringing.

  • Once again proving that money does not guarantee happiness. Sad story, as she’s probably been mentally ill with this disease for a very long time. I am shocked that the family let her get to 70lbs though, sounds like they have given up on her. Actually I am surprised she’s alive at that weight, she’s not a tiny girl.

  • It is absolutely inappropriate of you to link a person’s anorexia to her mother (or father).

    Anorexia is an extremely complicated disease. Although tens of millions of dollars have been spent trying to find the best treatment option, there is still no one best/agreed upon treatment.

    People who have been in successful recovery for years can suddenly relapse. The best guess of now is that anorexia has a very strong genetic component, so blaming someone’s “stressful” mother is not only unhelpful, but unfair to the mother and furthering false information.

  • Oh, Emma dahling,

    Of course you are right! It’s not my fault that pig kid of mine refuses to look as perfect as my gorgeous models and clients!

    E. Beet, do Donatella a favor, dear, and please touch up that photo for us, would you? Allegra’s head looks abnormally large in that shot, and it embarrasses me!

    Ciao!

  • You’re right, Emma. Next time, we’ll be careful to blame her mother’s genes rather than her overbearing attitude. Either way, I think we know whose fault it is.

    I kid, I kid. Anorexia is very serious and very deadly. So is alcoholism and so is drug addiction. So is Brandy Norwood on the 405, apparently. We make fun of them all around here. We’re almost never right. Our readers know that.

  • And, Donatella, if you don’t want Allegra’s head to look so big in pictures, tell her to lose some damn weight.

  • I think this is crazy. We live in a crazy time and world, where no one is happy anymore. I think we should change it. women, man and girls even children are not happy anymore and because of what do you think?? magazines who show us how we should look, but is this what must happen. Do people have to become sick, because of who a women should be? this is a crazy and stressed world.. and I am not just telling something, this is reality!! we should have to face it, if we want to make things change!! Look at Ana Carolina Reston, Eliana Ramos and allso her sister died because of that and I can talk about lots of people.. So maybe you should think about that!!!

  • I enjoyed reading this write-up, I was just wondering do you trade featured articles or blog posts? I’m continuously looking for someone to make trades with and just thought I’d ask.
