Mary-Kate Olsen Seeks Treatment For Eating Disorder Sister Ashley Still Ripe for Picking 06.22.2004 4:04 PM EDT http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1488598/06222004/story.jhtml by Jennifer Vineyard After much speculation in the tabloids recently that Mary-Kate Olsen has an eating disorder, the teen actress has entered a facility to seek treatment for the problem. There have also been rumors that Olsen has a drug problem, rumors which her representative categorically denies. "Those rumors are false, damaging and inaccurate," Michael Pagnotta said. Instead, Pagnotta said that Olsen, who turned 18 on June 13, was seeking professional help for a "health-related issue." Sources tell MTV News that the health-related issue in question is an eating disorder, but they didn't specify whether it's anorexia or bulimia. Mary-Kate and her twin sister, Ashley, discussed the drug and eating-disorder rumors in the May 3 issue of People. "Being in the public eye, you're labeled that you have an eating disorder," Ashley said. "You have a drug addiction," Mary-Kate said. "We don't have problems! There's nothing to worry about," Ashley said. "If I had a drug addiction, I would be in a thingy — like Promises, the Malibu [rehab] place," Mary-Kate said. "You don't see me there. So, like, come on. It's crazy." Perhaps more succinctly, Mary-Kate addressed her body-image problems, or lack thereof, in a Teen People story in January. "I don't break myself down into body parts," she said. "You can't go through life thinking like that, or you will always end up comparing yourself to someone else. When I'm feeling good on the inside, I'm usually happy with the way I look." Pagnotta noted that "getting healthy" was Mary-Kate's priority right now, so that she could go to school with nothing hanging over her in the fall. Both of the sisters are slated to start attending New York University as freshmen in September. "[Mary-Kate] is thankful for the encouragement and support of her friends and family who are with her every step of the way," Pagnotta said in a statement released Tuesday (June 22). I guess it's +1 for Duff, Lohan, and Bynes, even for Ashley, and -3 (plus or minus 15 pounds) for MK. I'd still tap that crack-laden twig.
Let's get some more pictures of those two going. They are so damn hot! Chill guys, I'm their age, so it's not perverted. Now, people like Manny with the LL thing, haha, that's a different story.
