After months and months of speculations on Nicole's ever slimming frame, her father finally takes a stand and says that it's not anorexia that which makes his daughter permanently lose weight. This comes only approximately one month or so after he said in an interview that he is also concerned about Nicole being so skinny.

In a more recent interview, published in the Swedish newspaper 'Expressen', the soul singer says that, worried about what he kept on reading in the press, he took Nicole by the arm and forced her to see a doctor. This one, in his turn, confirmed what Nicole has been saying for months, namely, that she is not suffering from anorexia.

'I stood in front of [the doctor], just like you and I now, looked him in the eyes, and I said "Is it anorexia?". And he said "It isn't anorexia"', the star told the magazine. He also claimed that Nicole's condition is 'stress-related', mainly due to her being so harassed by paparazzi all the time.

The crooner also added that he lives in constant terror that, one day, Nicole will end up like Princess Diana. 'I live with constant fear that Nicole is going to become the next Princess Diana. Just to give an example of how crazy everything has become, I always know when Nicole is on her way home because she is always followed by an helicopter and seven cars. It's harassment', the musician concluded.
