25-year-old singer Kelly Clarkson has recently revealed that she was bulimic back in high school. When Clarkson failed to get a part in a school musical, she thought if she was thinner, she might have gotten the role.Â
“I thought…If I came back and I’m cuter and thinner…then I’ll get the role.”
But it wasn’t too long before a friend caught on to the act, “One of my guy friends caught on to it, and I just felt so ashamed and embarrassed.”
“I literally went cold turkey and snapped out of it.”

Give me a break. If she was truly bulimic it would have been quite difficult to “snap out of it”. Smells to me that this is a case of a stupid girl throwing up her lunch one day, then giving it up because it wasn’t fun/working/pleasant/aceptable. I highly dislike when they slap on “tags” and mis-label things. Bulimia is a mental disorder, and as such is very difficult to “snap out of”. Brother.

I think kelly clarkson is abeautiful woman.She’s not skinny,but she is certainly not fat either.I think she looks like a normal girl and I’m sure there is pressure to be thin for lots of celebrities,but I much more appreciate there talent,when they are healthy.

As a person who suffers from bulimia I find this extremely disrespectful. It’s like she’s laughing at those of us with the disease. If it were that easy to “go cold turkey” and “snap out of it” so many of us would die? It’s very unfair for her to say such a thing and as far as I’m concerned she needs to think before she speaks next time.
