Ashlee Simpson struggled with an eating disorder as a child.
The Boyfriend singer says as soon as her parents noticed the problems they took drastic action.
She admitted to Britain’s OK! Magazine: “I was about 11-years-old, and people in the dance world were really concerned about their weight.
“But, as soon as my parents saw me really skinny, they put a steak in my mouth.”
The actress and singer also denied that there’s a rift between her and Lindsay Lohan.
She said: “She’s a sweet girl. But we’re obviously not best friends.
“I don’t see her all the time, but when we do see each other we always say hi.”
