14 DAY TRIAL // After months of speculation on her weight – and countless reports that she was basically living on coffee and cigarettes –, Demi Moore is addressing the controversy in the February 2012 issue of Harper's Bazaar. Yes, she is too thin and she knows it.
Demi's weight plummeted right after word got out in the press that Ashton Kutcher, her husband of 6 years, had cheated on her precisely on their sixth wedding anniversary.
It wasn't the first time it happened either, it was being claimed, but it turned out to be the last because Demi filed for divorce after a few more weeks of trying to salvage what was left of her marriage.
All this time though, she continued to lose weight and various media outlets picked up on it instantly.
Speaking with good friend Amanda de Cadenet for Harper's Bazaar, Demi stresses she's always had a very odd relationship with her body, in that she was never really happy with the way she looked.
“I have had a love-hate relationship with my body,” she says.
There were moments in life when she felt as she was waging a war on her body, one that she would often lose.
“When I’m at the greatest odds with my body, it’s usually because I feel my body’s betraying me, whether that’s been in the past, struggling with my weight and feeling that I couldn’t eat what I wanted to eat, or that I couldn’t get my body to do what I wanted it to do,” she explains.
She's more accepting of her flaws today but, at the same time, she also knows that not all is well with her.
“I think I sit today in a place of greater acceptance of my body, and that includes not just my weight but all of the things that come with your changing body as you age to now experiencing my body as extremely thin – thin in a way that I never imagined somebody would be saying to me, 'You’re too thin, and you don’t look good',” Demi says.
As we also informed you earlier today, in the same interview, the actress and producer also talks about her biggest fears in life and whether she's more comfortable now with the idea of growing old.
