Thandie Newton is the latest celebrity who admitted having suffered from an eating disorder. The 34-year-old actress recently revealed she suffered from bulimia.
“I had terrible bulimia for about a year. I’ve still got the scars on my knuckles from where I put my fingers down my throat.”
Thandie says her obsession started when she was 14, as she was training for her ballet exams and eating “nothing but cottage cheese”. After a series of abusive relationships, her eating disorder got worse.
“I’d been involved with this guy for a long time, he was much older than me and I felt a lot of shame about my sexual relationship with him. I would have these dinners with him and then go back to the flat and I’d throw up. Then I went out with someone who was emotionally abusive, criticizing me the whole time.”
Eventually Newton sought help while in Los Angeles to shoot a film. “I saw a therapist for the first time,” she says. “After that first session, I never threw up again. I had made the connection between shame and self abuse.” [Source]
