Mary-Kate Olsen: Anorexia Almost Killed Me

Pint size mogul Mary-Kate Olsen has stayed mum about her battle with anorexia since she was diagnosed just after her 18th birthday, but she's speaking out now and says the illness nearly killed her.

She says, "There have definitely been times in my life when I just turned to people and said, 'I'm done - this is too much for me. This is too over-whelming.’"

I'm sure growing up in the public eye wasn't easy; can you imagine being famous since you were 9 months old? That's crazy! They can’t even poop or get Starbucks without making headlines.

Oh, and in case people reading this don't know -- this fuckbag twatwaffle won't talk to investigator's about Heath Ledger's death unless her rich, cuntish self is extended "immunity" in the case. In other words, this anorexic, worthless piece of shit was probably responsible for giving Oxycontin and Vicodin to Ledger, which contributed to his death. But I bet hundreds of thousands of fat, retarded moms in this country are still buying this cunt's clothes and videos for their young daughters, allowing a drugged-out, anorexic, opiate-addicted whore to be a role model for their children. What a filthy, worthless piece of shit.

This cunt should be arrested and have all her money taken away from her and given to charity. Then she should be subpoena'd in the Heath Ledger case, grilled until she admits her filthy, cuntish whore self supplied the drugs, and either imprisoned for life or executed. Stupid, filthy fucking cunts like her should get disproportionately harsh penalties for being such shitbags when they've already had more than the average person will ever dream of. This dumb fucking cunt needs to be taken down a few notches. Fucking cunt.

loo loo, I suggest you get the facts before you make unfounded statements on matters in which you clearly know nothing about! Who's the bitch now? I'll answer for you, just look in the mirror! As Lala mentioned, she wasn't responsible, and the police have stated that she wasn't involved in any way - so there's no need to question her. I would like to know why idiots like you, loo loo, feel the need to comment on things that are of no relevance to what is being discussed - as this topic was about her eating disorder.

1:07PM 02/03/08 loo loo

yeah, isn't it horrible when famous people have problems, and then they get help and get better? how unlike real life where when people are sick they often CAN'T get better because the health system in america is SHIT. it's all about that money.
