Nicole Richie: Eating Disorder Rumors Were "Insulting"

Nicole Richie's shrinking frame has been the subject of much debate over the past few years. But the mother of two, 28, is speaking out now, slamming rumors that she ever had an eating disorder.
"I felt it was a little unfair to say someone has an eating disorder when they don't," she says. "It's extremely insulting and irresponsible."

Adds Richie, "An eating disorder is serious and it's a disease."


I feel Nicole Richie is splitting hairs. She may not have had text book anorexia, but she has some disordered eating. Cause just like Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli, Nicole Richie spent time on the "cocaine diet". Click here to read the Larry King transcript where she discusses her drug use.
