Hilary Duff blames the media for her weight drop

[MaryJane]

HILARY DUFF has hit out at the media's obsession with stars' weight, confessing she slimmed down after she was dubbed "fat" by a tabloid.

The 19-year-old provoked alarm when her weight dramatically dropped - and she blames pressure from the press.

Duff says, "I did get skinny. When I read 'Duff Puff - she's gained 15 pounds', how would any normal person react?"

Hey you know she's still a teen and was even younger when people would say things like that!I can understand why she reacted like that.Everybody is not super strong and super confident you know?

[CherubRock]

How long is she going to be a teen? Seems like this chick never goes away.

[Grimmlok]

Let me get this straight:

1) 1 tabloid calls her fat, she drops enough weight to look like a meth-head

2) 50 billion people say her venners make her look like a horse, and she does nothing.

Sorry, don't buy it.

My same thought...She's been 19 forever.

The one thing that always gets under the skin of a teenage girl is weight. Say what you want about her hair, face, health, but say one thing about weight and more than not, a teenaged girl will obsess about it any try to change it.

i agree with you on this one. when the average size in hollywood is a 0?? not to mention the second someone puts on weight, the tabloids cover that like crazy, too. think of all the commercials on tv and in mags about weight loss pills, diets, etc. one thing that i've really noticed about the weight threads is that i see more arguing and personal attacks on opinions than probably any of the other threads on this board.

Obviously you've never had anyone say anything bad about you--it simply does not work that way!


I wonder who she'll blame for those chicklets sticking out of her mouth.

You have to be super strong and super confident in Hollywood. Or you won't make it.

When Hilary Duff lost a noticeable amount of weight two years ago, she chalked it up to healthier eating habits.

But now, the singer-actress, 19, admits she felt pressure from the media to get thin.

"I did get skinny," she tells Britain's Mail on Sunday. "I've felt that pressure like everyone else in my position. When a newspaper comes out that says 'Duff Puff – she must have gained 15 pounds' or something like that, how would any normal person react?"

She continues, "It's so mean, but everyone keeps buying that stuff and talking about it, so it's not going to go away."

Duff, whose 2½-year relationship with rocker Joel Madden ended in November, tells the magazine: "I felt like we were great together, and being on my own is great too."

After a trip to Europe to promote her new album Dignity, Duff is now back home with her sister Haylie, 22.

The two live together in Los Angeles in a house they shared until recently with their mom, Susan – who just moved down the street, much to her daughter's chagrin.

"It was her idea," Duff says. "She said, 'I want to give you guys more freedom,' and I'm like, 'I don't want that. I want you here.' So I call her every day and I still always consult her before any big decision."

A normal person wouldn't read this crap.

At least someone have a healthy relationship with her mother.
