14 DAY TRIAL // A couple of weeks ago, LeAnn Rimes announced that she was entering some sort of rehabilitation facility because of “stress and anxiety.” As it turns out, her rehab stint has nothing to do with that – and a lot to do with her unhealthy eating habits.
LeAnn is killing herself with her obsession of staying thin, sources close to her say for the latest print issue of Star magazine (story via CB).
The tab claims to have it on very good authority that a profound eating disorder is the only reason why LeAnn is now seeking help, having taken her obsession with staying skinny to dangerous extremes.
“LeAnn’s friends are convinced it could kill her. She’s abusing laxatives and constantly forcing herself to throw up after eating,” an insider is quoted as saying.
Star even goes as far as to point a finger at LeAnn’s husband, Eddie Cibrian, as partly responsible for her current condition, saying she only started throwing up when she began dating him.
LeAnn has always been obsessed with keeping him happy and, somehow, she associated his happiness to her skinny frame, the report argues.
“She says that Eddie loves skinny women and would never be with a woman who wasn’t tiny,” the insider explains.
One waitress at Hugo in Agoura Hills, CA, vouches to have seen LeAnn make herself sick after a meal, which is a clear sign of bulimia.
“She ordered nothing but steamed peas for dinner,” says the waitress. Shortly afterwards, Rimes was trying to make herself sick in the bathroom of the restaurant.
“I heard her throw up. She came out and cried, explaining she had to do it – otherwise she couldn’t eat dessert with Eddie and still stay skinny,” the woman further says.
Ever since she got together with Eddie, LeAnn has been plagued by eating disorder rumors, as her frame decreased as their romance progressed.
Every time, she would say that she was losing weight because she was eating only healthy foods and working out whenever she had the time, and that she would never put her health at risk just to be skinny.
