Newlywed Ashlee Simpson has admitted she was anorexic when she was 12 years old and studying ballet.
The singer, who married rocker Pete Wentz over the weekend, confesses, “Everyone around me was really skinny and I fell into the trap of wanting to be the skinniest kid of all. My weight dropped.”
She adds, “Eventually, my parents turned me around by taking me out to steak restaurants and encouraging me to enjoy food again. Since then, I’ve pretty much been able to eat what I like.”
