Speaking their truths. Emmy Rossum and Stephanie Beatriz opened up about their weight issues days after Kim Kardashian revealed that she weighs 119 lbs. after being praised by Kendall Jenner and Khloé Kardashian for being so “skinny.”
“The only time I was 119 pounds is when I had MONO. On a magazine shoot and everyone was ‘freaking out over how good’ I looked,” the Shameless star, 31, wrote on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, July 31. “I had lost ten pounds and was gaunt and sick and felt faint … It totally messed with my head … You never know what someone is going through. If you’re having a tough time with body image, I promise you’re beautiful and this feeling will pass. Today is just a moment. Practice some self-care and reboot. Take a bath. Take a walk. Take a yoga class. Make a healthy nutritious meal and watch your favorite funny movie. Tomorrow is another day.”
Rossum also sent support to Beatriz, 37, who shared her own story via Instagram too. “Kim Kardashian saying what she weighs and her sisters complimenting her being so skinny is like eating my brain rn,” noted the Brooklyn Nine-Nine actress, 37. “There’s only one time in my life when I ever weighed 119 pounds. It was right in the middle of a terrible relationship, and intense eating disorder, and I thought that I could be thinner and look even better. Everyone kept complimenting me on how I looked, and I felt desperate to stay at that weight. It sucked.”
