AceShowbiz - Tara Reid has had enough of hearing speculations related to her weight. Having been constantly criticized for being "too thin," the Danni Sullivan depicter on "Scrubs" insisted that she doesn't have eating disorders.
The 47-year-old shut down the chatter about her body when speaking to the Los Angeles Inquisitor. She first told the outlet, "If we were overweight then they can't say anything because that's bullying. But it's the same thing if you're skinny. That's still bullying too."
Tara claimed she's no stranger to hearing rumors about her weight, but they got worse after she appeared in season 2 of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test". She then clarified, "I have no anorexia and never have... And I definitely don't have any bulimia. I'm terrified of throwing up, so that's not gonna happen. And I love food too much."
"So anyone that says I'm anorexic or bulimic, they're wrong," the actress stressed. "So stop it. Leave me alone. Pick on me again on something else, but not on those two things. It's not right."
Back in October 2021, Tara got body-shamed after she let out two black-and-white Instagram photos of her wearing a bikini. Catching wind of the negative comments about her look, she fired back during an interview with Page Six, "I've always been thin... So these stories are kind of crazy because it's like there's nothing that has changed for forever."
"This is who I am, this is what I am, this is what I'm [aspiring] to be. Hopefully that will change the minds of bullies, but if doesn't, I'm okay with that," Tara added. "I've gone through it for so many years that, you know, sometimes I feel bad for them because if they're that miserable writing things at home, what are they doing? That's negative. You know, it's hurtful."
