Lately, Amanda Bynes have been in the news for not so healthy behaviour. Whether it is her decision to snap all ties with her family or her wrath on close people, her dressing choices or for that matter, her manners, Amanda has managed to exhibit her worst behaviour in the last year. But now, Amanda Bynes has done something that not only explains her erratic behaviour but also brings a popular celebrity problem back to limelight. Yes, Bynes confessed that she has an eating behaviour.
Insider?s View
It is not uncommon for a celebrity, particularly divas to have eating disorder. But only a few have the courage to take a step, accept it in front of the world and believe that they can change their situation. Bynes is certainly valiant as recently she came forward and accepted in front of thousands of followers that she suffers from an eating disorder. Bynes is one of the rare celebrities, who have expressed their struggle with a psychological condition that has deteriorated the health of many. Well, Bynes hasn?t been a role model in the past few months; this confession provides a reason behind her behaviour and choices.
Furor it created
Such a candid confession has resulted in a debate about how the pressure to stay thin and beautiful is ruining the health of celebrities as well as millions of girls who emulate them. The reaction from media is mixed, with a lot of them criticising Amanda for revealing her condition and prompting girls to avoid food, while others are appreciating her for being strong enough to accept it.
My take
What Amanda has done is definitely a bold step. But it shall only be appreciated with Amanda opts for psychological evaluation and psychiatric treatment. Her confession would be powerful if she overcomes her eating disorder and becomes an inspiration for girls all over the world. The same goes for other celebrities, including Lady Gaga and Demi Lovato, who should seek treatment for their condition rather than simply admitted to have it.
