I knew someone who did an in-person interview with a big A-list actress whose image is based on being cool and normal and just like us. She asked her lunch to be off the record. It was two crackers and five almonds. 

Omfg. Thank you so much for unearthing this. AN ALMOND. I think you’re right it is pretty shocking that her team was like yeah let’s do this. Really speaks to the larger issues in Hollywood that we all know so well here in normal land

As much as this video is distressing, I'm glad info like this is public. It shows just how impossible it is to be both healthy (as in, consume enough calories to live) and look like a celebrity. In some ways, I think it's more dangerous when celebs pretend to eat cheeseburgers and pizza — it sets up an unrealistic standard, and almost gaslights people into thinking celebrities are superior beings who can have it all. Nope, they just starve themselves. 1/2

Skinny but miserable.  I wouldn't envy her at all, if anyone out there is.  

EDIT: I just found out the video is over a year old 😂. AND it was deleted by Harper’s Bazaar 😵‍💫. 

I want to put a TW on this post for anyone that may have a difficult relationship with food. 

So I didn’t watch the full video, I just saw this woman’s recap of Kelly Ripa’s what i eat in a day Harper’s Bazaar video. It made me really sad if I’m being honest. I wish we wouldn’t normalize this kind of celebrity regimen. It doesn’t surprise me that her team would allow this to go out, but I do think it bizarre. 

Watch the tik tok if you’d like. She sums up my feelings pretty well. :
