Tori Spelling: “I’m a role model for a lot of women”
June 15, 2010 in Celebrity Quotes, Tori Spelling by Versus
A few days ago, we listened to skinny girl Tori Spelling explaining to us that she does not have anorexia, but is super thin because of… the swine flu. Tori felt the need to explain the situation again and said…
“I’ve never had a great stomach, but (being ill) just completely tore up my stomach and broke down my immune system, and I’ve basically just been a mess ever since, stomach-wise,” she says. “It’s about rebuilding my immune system.”
“I’m a role model for a lot of women out there, so I hate that they say these things unwarranted, without any research and facts. I think it’s doing a disservice to women out there that look up to any celebrity.”
What do you guys think?
Sit down, Donna Martin.
wow the guy is twice her volume or so
well I don’t know, but she’s never been a role model for me
What a “handsome” man…;)
I think its bs but I dont blame her or making up something and not broadcasting having an eating disorder to the world…I just hope shes happy and safe. all that matters.
“A role model for a lot of women”…well..not this one…no flu does that to your body. Se’d be a better role model if she accepted/admitted the fact that she has a problem and deal with it accordingly. That would me a good reason for other women to look up to her!
Sorry about the typo. It should say BE instead of ME
My mom weighed 75 pounds last time she got the flu.
Not everyone is the same.
“no flu does that to your body”
Actually it can. Most importantly, any antibiotic treatment can weaken one’s immune system and especially mess with one’s stomach.
Not saying that’s the case or not for her. I don’t know, she could actually have an ED. But what she is saying is also plausible.
last time I had a flu I had a high fever for 3 days and I lost around 8-10 lbs. I didn’t gain it immediately,so it wasn’t just water weight. And I wasn’t even ill for a full week.
Just because your flu wasn’t bad, that doesn’t mean that Toris fluwas the same. I mean,lots of people survived getting swine flu and some didn’t. Measuring someones illness by your own holds no evidence.
I got really sick from the swine flu vaccine and was in hospital for almost two weeks. I suffered consequences from the vaccine for almost four months afterwards and I had to be on four rounds of antibiotics. That really messed up my system so I actually find what Tori is saying believable.
Was your comment adressed to me? If so, you got me completely wrong
I was saying that for some people even a short ilness can mean big weight loss (I was 112 at the time so it was noticable). So I also find what Tori is saying believable
I’m so sorry, my bad.
I got you completely wrong – so sorry!
I dunno if she’s telling the truth but I have been sick once where I lost a lot of weight. I was sick for 3 weeks and got used to eating litte. I had exams (a lot of stress) after this and it took me a long time to get back to eating normal again. I only weighed around a 105 lbs then and normally I weigh 120…
Role model? What for?
LOL. For being fugly and still getting a hawt man?
that’s what I was thinking… who exactly is she supposed to be a role model for and why?
I have nothing against her face, as you can’t be a role model just for being pretty (Megan Fox, anyone?)… but I kinda grew up with Beverly Hills 90210 and there is nothing a woman would see her as a role model for IMO. I mean, I still remember her “insightful” statements like “I never let anyone see me in the same dress twice and I have 365 dresses, one for each day of the year”. Wow, I can SO relate to that!
LOL. Wow yeah I guess she thinks a lot of herself to say such a thing. It’s important to be humble or people are going to think you are full of it Tori!
I totally look up to her for guidance in the following areas of my life:
-relationship w/my mother;
-plastic surgery advice;
-relationship advice, in case i’m silly enough to want to remain faithful to my sig other;
-ways to MAKE IT BIG in Hollywood! She’s A-list!
-beauty, generally.
ha! me too
she’s a real inspiration.
Thanks for the laugh, Tori(/Versus)!
A role model for her kids maybe… she’s fugly as hell.
She’s just skinny and that’s it.
Role model for what exactly? …… =/
Meh, she’s never been my role model…inflated ego much?
role model my ass
No offense, Tori, but you need to seriously get over yourself. I can’t think of one person who would look at you as a role model for the following reasons:
1) You played a role in breaking up you and your current husband’s past marriages (and shame on him for leaving his first wife and children under those sort of circumstances). I know even good people make mistakes, but it really seemed gross and unnecessary. Now you get to worry about him pulling the same stunt on you. . . and believe me, he’s a selfish jerk from what I’ve seen on your show, so it’s very likely.
2) You seem like a nice person from your show but I don’t remember you have any tremendous acting talent from your days acting on TV shows.
3) You are not a raving beauty. Not to be mean, but you’re not.
My advice to you is to work on your self esteem, gain some of that weight back and continue being a good mom to your children. That is the one nice thing I will say–you certainly seem to love your family. Lastly, be prepared for Dean leaving you and your beautiful children in the dust at some point. I’m sorry, I’m sure you don’t deserve it, but he’s a complete idiot.
Yak yak yak yak yak
Her man dwarfs her. lulz.
I liked Tori, but she seems to be going to great lengths to make this story fly. I could believe it was the flu….however for the over a year she was insisting she always was this skinny and was just a busy mom. Which I actually bought! Becuase she was always skinny, I figured sure add in mom stress and she’s just even skinnier than usual. However, she’s lied. She said not 6 months ago Star mag was wrong becuase she was 107 pounds and said they should weigh her. Now she says she is way too skinny and was weighing 93 pounds. Really? That’s no suspicous or anything? Come on.
presumptuous much?
okay back away from that tiara…TORI!
TORI do you hear me? bad girl…
Dear Tori:
3.5 women this side of the solar system is not ‘a lot’…..
She’s not my role model.
her face is weird and quite scary, how can she think shes an influence, talk about being overconfident
I can’t help but feel like this is a major cop-out on Tori’s part. Whereas, I can empathize with the reality of having the stomach/swine flu because it does indeed wreak havoc on your body, but this….?? I don’t know when exactly she had her self-proclaimed “swine flu”, but it is now June and wouldn’t she have had enough time to start healing/gaining weight/rebuilding her immune system by now?? For me, it’s the fact that she keeps emphasizing the issue so much so, that it clearly seems she is making an excuse for herself or is heavily in denial–both of which are symptoms of an ED. I mean, if you google before pictures of her from a few years ago, it is very evident that she weighed quite a fair amount more (not including pics during her pregnancy). But, regardless, there is a very fine line between having an eating disorder, having disordered eating patterns/behaviors, and having none of the above. Overall, I really feel for her, especially because I have never looked to her as a role model. But, regardless of which case is true, I really hope she gets all the help she needs to start feeling better and fully recooperating ASAP. Then, she can start being a positive role model.
I hope she doesn’t keel over soon
Gna, a role model?! She’d wish!
Not a fan of her chest or arms…
