Things sadly haven’t been the best for Lily Allen in the past year.
She lost a child six months into her pregnancy and has been keeping to herself, but in an upcoming interview she opens up a bit about that experience, and dealing with an eating disorder as well.
About the tragic loss of he child:
‘It was a really long battle – and I think that kind of thing changes a person.’
It’s so sad that it happened, we wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
Here’s what she had to say about struggling with an eating disorder:
“I used to vomit after meals. It’s not something I’m proud of. But, I tell you what, a lot of people came up to me telling me how great I looked and I’d be on the cover of every magazine. I thought I looked good and it was great to be able to try on clothes and feel a million dollars. But I wasn’t happy, I really wasn’t.
“I would love to be the skinniest minniest person in the world but I can’t do that without being unhappy – I like food. I’m a pop star, not a model. Don’t make me feel s*** for not being really skinny and having an eating disorder.’
We can’t imagine the pressure you’ve had in the spotlight, but we’re glad to hear that you recognized you had an eating disorder, and hopefully you’ve been able to move on from it and be extremely healthy!
Things hopefully will get better, Lily! Our hearts go out to you!
Congrats on the engagement, and we hope the wedding is fab!!
