Mary Kate Olsen in hospital for illness

[Jasminesmommy]

Mary kate olsen admitted in hospital for undisclosed illness. Spokesperson won't deny its for eating disorder. I think thats what it is. She looked very bad recently.

It says at cnn.com that she's anorexic.

She wasn't looking very healthy lately. I've seen interviews where she has denied an eating disorder. Must have been tough on her. Goes to show that money can't buy you happiness.

DD 13 and I were just talking about the Olsen twins today, and how Mary Kate looks really bad lately. This is really a shame and I hope she gets the help she needs.

I blame unclekyle

 

[Tinkerbellish]

I've always liked the Olsens.

 

[CyranoJones]

I'm glad she's getting help.

 

[mommytotwo]

She looked really sad in the recent pictures that were showing up in magazines. Glad that she is getting the help she needs also.

After seeing photos of her recently, we should be surprised ??? So much for having wealth and being on the A-lists...

Hope she gets the help she needs, I saw that Magazine with the Picture of her inside, and said to myself,she keeps that up, she will not be with us long.

 

[MinnieM21]

I'm glad she realized she had a problem and did something about it. That takes a ton of courage, especially in front of the whole world.

 

[dizneenut]

Glad she's getting help.

Wow,

Having a daugher close to her age, I hope she gets better quickly and I totally sympathize with her parents.

Good luck to her. This is a very hard receovery process.

It's just a crying shame the type of pressure society puts on these people to always be thin. I keep thinking back to her as a baby and toddler on Full House, and how cute and chubby and healthy she looked. I'm glad she's getting help.

 

[aesalsa]

If that's true, I hope she recovers completely. But to me she looks good in that picture on the CNN link ; I haven't followed the Olsen twins since they played Michelle in Full House, so I don't know their progression of physical changes.

 

[HollyJoy]

It's a sad situation, but I'm glad she's getting the help she needs.

I noticed she was thinner than Ashley on the Oprah show, but she didn't look exactly anorexic on the show...just very thin.

You don't have to be skeletal to have anorexia, it is an eating disorder at any weight. If someone who is 250 starves themselves for months and finally weighs in at 150 pounds but won't eat anything, they still have anorexia and are not skeletal. Anorexia is a disease of the mind.

I am glad that she is strong enough to admit that she needs help. I hope the best for her as it is a long road ahead of her. One problem that many anorexics face when recovering is that they want to recover but not gain any weight. Once the weight starts coming back on, it is difficult to accept and many often slide back down "the other side".

Hopefully, this will shine light on the situation that anybody, males and females, can fall victim to eating disorders. It is not shameful, just as other mental diseases aren't shameful.

I wish her the best. She needs it.

I hope she recovers & agree it's good she is getting help now, before it gets worse. Just goes to show that having fame and fortuine is not everything. They always seemed like such good kids, I hope she gets betters soon.
