Among the many personal struggles actress and singer Marie Osmond has dealt with was her battle with weight.
As per People, Marie recently spoke to Fox News about someone body-shaming her when she was just 15 years old and had started Donny & Marie, the American variety show that aired from 1976 to 1979, and showcased her and her brother Donny.
“One day, I was taken out into a parking lot and one of the studio people told me that if I didn’t drop 10 pounds, they were going to cancel the show. They said I was an embarrassment to my family and I needed to keep the food out of my fat face,” recollected the Dancing with the Stars star. Soon, she began starving herself to lose weight even when she was only 47 kg, even losing to 5 kg without realising the mental abuse behind that.
Marie then spoke about how she had difficulty managing her fluctuating weight and about how her son begged her to lose weight for her health’s sake. Now, after Dancing with the Stars began, Marie has lost 23 kg over four months.
