A few years ago she outright denied an eating disorder as the cause of her weight loss. She didn't state the reason, but I recall her saying something along the lines of "weight loss can be caused by other reasons" in reference to her blue bikini pictures.
I don't think it was her PR team. Drug use and eating disorders are both considered bad publicity. However, pop tabloids love to accuse anyone slightly slim to be "dying to be thin" and "shockingly thin" and "95 lbs" (don't know why that's the magic number). Bad publicity = publicity = revenue for these trashy magazines.
I guess you're right… :hmm:
I never thought about it, but it seems like 95lbs does pop up a lot.
Especially in Star.
