Young Versace "battling anorexia"
Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Celebrity
Amid growing concern over eating disorders within the fashion industry, it's now been revealed that Allegra Beck Versace, the 20-year-old daughter of Donatella Versace, is anorexic. The news was released in the hopes of clarifying some of the rumors circulating throughout the media -- including that she was under 24-hour supervision in a medical and psychiatric facility.In fact, a spokesman says that Allegra is living at home in the United States, where she's currently a student.
Fortunately, according to her parents, "She is receiving the best medical care possible to help overcome this illness and is responding well."
While this news isn't surprising, some say neither is the fact that Allegra is anorexic in the first place. Growing up in the fashion industry -- in particular in the highly image-conscious Versace household -- did the fashion heiress ever stand a chance?
