Calista Flockhart Calls Anorexia Rumors 'Intense' And 'Unfair'
HuffPost
"I was an easy target," the "Ally McBeal" star told The New York Times.
Calista Flockhart is reflecting on the intense focus on her weight during her “Ally McBeal” days.
The actor told The New York Times in a candid interview on Friday that she doesn’t believe the scrutiny she faced “would ever happen today.”
“They call it body-shaming now,” she said. “I haven’t thought about it in a long time, but it’s really not OK to accuse someone of having a disease that a lot of people struggle with.”
“It wasn’t the case, and there was nothing I could do to convince anybody or get out of it,” Flockhart said of the rumors and speculation. “If I had worn a big padded bra, they probably would never have been able to target me in that way. I look back at pictures, and I’m the same then as I am now, and nobody says a word now.”
“I was an easy target, I guess. It was painful, it was complicated. I loved working on ‘Ally McBeal,’ and it just made it sour,” she explained of how deeply the outside chatter got to her.
