Brandy Admits to Puking after Meals
Brandy talks about past struggle with eating disorder
Quote:
Singer and actress, Brandy Norwood, – better known as Brandy – was recently profiled on VH1’s Behind the Music. The special, which aired on Wednesday night, covered the well known successes of Brandy’s career such as, her hit sitcom, Moesha, a starring role in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and a Grammy award for her collaboration with singer, Monica. However, there were some revelations that may have taken some of the singer’s longtime fans by surprise. One of them was the admittance of an eating disorder as a teen.
In the late 90s it appeared that Norwood had everything that a young woman could want, but unbeknownst to the public, the singer/actress was fighting an internal battle.
“People don’t understand that being the hottest star or making the most money doesn’t mean anything,” the star told VH1. She continued, “I’m here to tell you I was making so much money – I was omnipresent – and I was the unhappiest teenager probably in the world.”
It was reported by Yahoo that the singer/actress previously told People magazine that at one point she got her weight down to 105 pounds by doing everything that she could to get thin.  She told VH1 that at that time in her life her weight had become her main focus.
“That was my main thing. So I started not taking care of myself – not eating properly, not eating at all, diet pills, regurgitating, and all of these things that girls do,” she said.
According to Yahoo, Norwood realized that she had to start taking care of herself when she was hospitalized in 1999 after her mother found her dazed and dehydrated.
“I realized it’s my responsibility to take care of myself, because nobody else will. And I can’t depend on…anybody else to be responsible for me. And when I take care of me, everything else will fall into place,” the star explained in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Yahoo reports.
According to the star’s twitter page, she will be releasing her sixth studio album, Two Eleven, in summer 2012.
