Wow!!! So many comments here are ridiculously rude. One comment saying that you want to punch her in her face, really? You are going to get that upset over a person you don't really know? By the way, the very first priority for TBL is to make MONEY, so getting people "healthy" is not the number one goal. If anyone has any kind of experience with weight loss they would know that the numbers they have on the show are unrealistic for safe or healthy weight loss. I think it's great she spoke up. :)

I also read on another interview she said she was working out five to eight hours each day and consuming less than 1,000 calories each day. She suspected the producers wanted a woman to win the show, and felt pushed to continue punishing workouts, despite hair loss, bruising and hangups about food so extreme, her family insisted she see a therapist. Who thinks that is treating her good ??? She was feeling guilty for inspiring people based on lies. "I help perpetuate a myth that is dangerous.."

eh she is all dramatic.. weight loss like this is about big changes.. and I doubt it is what she's trying to make it out to be. Dehydration... ha yeah right..

[Lashid4u]

@lwarteman Yeah, that's what I never liked about the show ...the fact that it's a "game"...

[cutegal2402]

I was annoyed with her through the show ... she is a very angry woman who seemed to want drama all the time. I think this is just another way for her to get more fame and that she is actually a failure.
