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.

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.

oh would you shut up!? .. she's not responsible for heath death. and anorexia is a serious thing. you should be supportive( or whatever) and try to understand. this isn't easy for her..

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.
