Ah, Yes, Now I Know What We’ve Been Missing Around Here the Past Couple Months: An Eating-Disorder Tell-All

Britney Snow Had an Eating Disorder and Cut Herself

Thank you, Brittany Snow.

“It kind of progressed into this thing where I needed to always be dieting and losing weight and more weight,” she says in an interview. “It became my life and I didn’t have any friends and this was definitely my best friend and I held on to it really tight.”

At 85 pounds, she says, “I knew that was a really low number and I knew that my hair was falling out and I had really weird skin. My face looked really weird and I was getting this fuzz on my face and I was always cold – always to the point of uncontrollably shaking, [but] I was more scared that 85 lbs. wasn’t good enough. I wanted to be lower.”

And lest you think we can just talk anorexia and be done with it …

THERE’S CUTTING, TOO!!!

YAY!!!!

“I would look at the scars and what I had done to myself and that would convince me not to eat. I also was crying for attention and I also really wanted someone to see my scars and help me and give me a hug.”

Kat McPhee’s reading this somewhere thinking to herself, “Dammit. Cutting! Of course! Why the fuck didn’t I think of that??”

  • Is this another one of those producer manufactured lip synching no talent teeny bopper people? Why am I wasting my time?

  • I thought she was so cute in John Tucker Must Die, but since then she has seriously gone nuts with mystic tan, and i cant stand to look at her mug anymore.

  • What was that series she was in a few years ago? It was set in the ’60’s I think. I really liked the show and her. Hated when it was cancelled.

  • She was on American Dreams — that’s the 60s show you’re thinking of. She also spent a season or so on Nip/Tuck.

  • She doesnt look 85 lbs like shes not olsen twin skinny or anything i always thought og her as a lil chunky…dont judge me 4 that but i think some ppls bodys need to be skinny

  • Joy: your name deceives you.

    “It’s not personal. It’s just gossip.”

    Now go churn some butter, and make a quilt.

  • And while I’m on this less-than-stellar thread… I call bullshit on this whole cockamamie story. It sounds like she woke up one morning, thought of ways to steal some spotlight, and webMDed the side effects of anorexia. And since emo is all the rage with the retards these days, why not throw in some straight razors for dramatic effect!!

  • You guys are jerks for saying all this crap about her she’s a really good actress. She was awesome in nip/tuck and hairspray.

  • U guys r all assholes for thinking Brittany did this for publicity. Eating Disorders and cutting is a big issue that noone will talk about. Finally someone had the guts to tell their story and for the right reason. To Inform Us!!! I give Brittany soooo much credit for coming out like she did. She saved a lot of young girl’s lives….many now realize it is an illness and we need help

  • I love Brittay Snow. She was a great acctresss in Hairspray. She is so hot. i love her. Pretty dresses tooo!!!!!!!!

  • I also thought that Brittany Snow was a stage name for porn star Spring Thomas (also a stage name). The resemblence is remarkable. Mannerisms are the same, too.
