AceShowbiz - Tara Reid has blamed "getting a little older and fragile" for her skinnier look. Shortly after denying speculations suggesting that she has eating disorders, the actress portraying Danni Sullivan on "Scrubs" revealed the possible reason why she looked thinner than she used to.
The 47-year-old actress talked about her appearance with host Billy Bush in a new interview published by Extra on Thursday, October 26. During the chat, she revealed, "I would definitely say I've been through a lot of bullying in my life. It's usually about my body… that I'm too skinny."
In response, host Billy Bush asked, "Are you too skinny?" She replied, "It's been going on for years, but there's no eating disorder… I eat all the time - that's not a problem for me. You've known me for over 20 years, do I look any different?"
Upon learning that Tara wanted his "honest opinion," Billy candidly stated, "I think you look a little... too skinny. I'm gonna say that." In return, Tara pointed out, "Maybe because I'm getting a little older and fragile. That's what happens to older ladies."
In the same interview, Tara also opened up about her appearance in season 2 of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test". "I wanted to go on the show because I wanted to challenge myself to try to do something that I never thought I could do," she shared.
Noting that she was not ready for the challenge, Tara explained, "They hired me three days before the show... So, I was not physically ready for it… The backpack was so heavy on me. I had no chance… It didn't work so well." Though so, she stated, "I would do it again if I could start training right now!"
Elaborating her experience on the show more, Tara said, "It is not just a physical thing… It takes out a lot of the darkness that you've been fighting… I got a lot of that out. It was all the years of pent-up, you know, people can put you down, put you down, say bad things about you… and it's not right."
Recently, Tara reacted to speculations suggesting that she suffers from eating disorders. Speaking to the Los Angeles Inquisitor on Wednesday, October 25, she stated, "I have no anorexia and never have... And I definitely don't have any bulimia. I'm terrified of throwing up, so that's not gonna happen. And I love food too much." She added, "So anyone that says I'm anorexic or bulimic, they're wrong."
