Alexa Chung Squashes Eating Disorder Rumors

Filed Under: Anglophilia Spread 'Em Alexa Chung

British TV personality Alexa Chung wants to let everyone know she doesn't have an eating disorder.

Elle UK's November cover girl told the mag:

"I cannot express how frustrating it is to not be believed when you say, 'I don’t have an eating disorder'. I am naturally very thin. I get even thinner when I’m stressed. And you cannot imagine how stressed I was last year. Anyone could see that I wasn’t doing great and I wasn’t coping. It angers me because I don’t want to be a pin-up for young girls just for being thin. I don’t want to be admired for being thin as opposed to being dressed well, and I don’t want the two to get confused."

And there you have it.

Hopefully this will put an end to all those pesky rumors and people will start focusing on how fab she always looks.
