I believe it. I've read a variety of stories online from former reality tv contestants talking about how insane the conditions of filming were and the toll it takes after. These were all non-celebrity competition type people but I believe that it would happen in the more scripted ones on Bravo too. What are some of NBCs big realty franchises? I could totally see this for the Bachelor franchise, all the Bravo shows and the old MTV and VH1 shows. The Biggest Loser, which was horrific.

Oh yeah - good call. Have you listened to the maintenance phase podcast episode on the biggest loser? There’s a lot to unpack there.

This religious leader is facing accusations from other men that they were abused by the leader over the past several decades. Apparently, there are about a dozen that have been talking to a reporter from a Hong Kong based news organization.

“I always feel hungry but I just don't know what to eat."
"My excuses are that I'm too lazy to make feeding myself a priority or I'm too picky when it comes to taste and quality.”
That all sounds like justifications for a raging eating disorder. I hope this turns into change for her.

I cannot imagine that world. I wonder if it's a childhood thing that never got addressed. A friend's kid who is 7 just tried an oreo for the first time with the help of his therapist. Which also blows my mind.

She said she never tried pasta because of the texture. I'm sure there are many layers to her lack of food intake. I hope she gets help.

I was definitely blind sided. She spoke so highly of him even just a couple episodes ago.

Which also blows my mind. Yes, she could have a sensory processing disorder with food. Two of my friends kids have that. With the first one they really thought it was medical and did every test under the sun. He just wouldn’t eat much and always complained of it hurting. With her second they knew more and his case was slightly different so they were able to supplement with high calorie formula for his toddler years and get him into therapy. He also had the pasta thing. Like seeing pasta would make him dry heave. So part of the therapy was to start with just looking at it, then touching it, etc. I’m sure there was less known about this stuff when she was a kid (even though she’s not that old) and if she was in weight range it just could have gone unnoticed as picky eating habits.

I hope this turns into change for her. It’s an interesting change professionals can now make between intentional food restitutions and sensory aversions/ neurodiversity. I had no idea until my kid had to go through food chaining and OT to adapt to textures how common it was in past generations to be considered picky about food when it was really adhd or something else. Anxiety plays in for a lot of people who end up with a handful of safe foods and they get stuck in cycles of only being able to eat the foods they consider safe.

Add in her history working in fashion and on TV and in print to complicate it further.

Yeah, I don’t want to stereotype but the area she grew up in definitely a way about appearances. So entirely possible that it’s less of an underlying condition and more disordered eating.

Oh my gosh, and reading that Whitney thought she looked "pudgy" when she first watched the Hills made me sad.
Along the same lines I suppose for that time period, looking back at pictures of young women who were shamed for being "big" is wild. Like Britney in her Gimme More video, that picture of Jessica Simpson in those high waisted jean shorts, etc

Like Britney in her Gimme More video, that picture of Jessica Simpson in those high waisted jean shorts, etc There were a bunch of women at the time who were considered not skinny. Jessica, Hillary Duff and Amanda Byrnes when they reached adulthood got criticized and these were really skinny women by any other standard. The late 90’s and early 2000’s were brutal. I can understand being someone who grew up in that era growing up restricting eating and never learning how to eat some food groups. I absolutely knew people who had never had white bread or pasta growing up in California. Heck, even where I live now my kid had a play date recently and the kid didn’t know goldfish which I described as like Cheddar bunnies which she had never heard of (kid just moved from CA) and doesn’t have aversions.

Is anyone else watching Sweet Magnolias S3? Cause I was going to start a thread but don't feel like talking to myself. I tried, but I feel this season is soooo boring that I quit after Episode 4. I think it was episode 4. It felt like I had watched like 12 episodes as slow as they were but there's only like 10 in a season so not possible. I gave up in S2 because I was bored.
