Anorexia rumors have followed Nicole Richie since she began shedding weight in 2005. On Monday, the Simple Life star posted a rebuttal on her MySpace blog, refuting a recent CNN story alleging she was seeking in-patient care for an eating disorder. She writes:
Contrary to CNN’s false accusations, I did not check myself into an eating disorder rehab. I don’t know why or how this rumor started, but I am home, in LA, and very happy. I do not have an eating disorder, and I don’t know how many times I have to say it. I’ve repeated myself so many times, I feel like a broken record. Who ever started this rumor is evil and mean, but it’s not true. I am happy, and healthy, and living my life.
