14 DAY TRIAL // It’s been years since Nicole Richie’s weight made tabloid headlines, but it’s happening again, with this week’s issue of Star magazine claiming that her weight has dropped alarmingly again as she has relapsed back into anorexia.
Back in 2006, shortly after she stopped being Paris Hilton’s best friend but when she was still a relatively successful reality star / popular socialite, Nicole was photographed on a beach in a 2-piece swimsuit and her bony frame shocked the world.
Later, she admitted that this was the moment when she realized she had a problem.
Since then, Nicole has had 2 adorable kids, has married their father Joel Madden, and has launched herself as one of the hottest fashion designers and fashionistas out there. Talk of her health and eating disorder has been absent from all publications.
Now, Star claims that she’s down to 88 pounds (39.9 kg) again, which is how much she weighed when the 2006 photos were snapped. She’s achieved this weight loss by sticking to a very strict and unhealthy diet of sunflower seeds, celery, and juices.
When she’s feeling hungry, she allegedly pops in some chewing gum to relieve hunger pangs. The fact that she’s working out regularly, as countless paparazzi photos of her leaving the gym can confirm, must have also helped her slim down.
Insiders confirm for the tab that she’s “anorexic again,” with the cover of this week shouting in yellow caps that the family is staging an intervention to make her see she’s dealing with the same problem again.
The cover also promises details into her “8-month” struggle, which probably means that some insider has confirmed for Star that this is when Nicole started starving herself again.
You can see the cover pic attached to this article but, for the time being, these are all the details available on the claims made in the accompanying piece.
Until the full article comes out on Friday, please keep in mind that this is a tabloid that’s stepping forward with these allegations.
