The, ultra-thin, premiere-dodging Keira Knightley recently won nearly $6000 in a libel suit against British tab The Daily Mail over their claims that her super-skinny body was encouraging young women to starve themselves. The $6000 can be interpreted to represent either 0.0003% of the revenue earned by Daily Mail for that issue, or 0.0002% of the value of the free publicity they’ve seen as a result of the lawsuit. Take your pick.
The tabloid ran a photo of Keira in a bikini, with the headline: “If Pictures Like This One of Keira Carried a Health Warning, My Darling Daughter Might Have Lived,” with the article suggesting that Keira’s weight had contributed to the death of 19-year-old Sophie Mazurek.
A lawyer for the paper’s publisher said they apologized for the distress and embarrassment caused by the article and accepted that the actress bore no responsibility for Mazurek’s death.
Keira plans to match the amount she won in the suit — another $6000 — and donate the total to BEAT, a charity which helps people with eating and mental disorders. She still has no plans to attend any of the premieres for Pirates 3.
i am short am 13 and weigh 91 pounds is that FAT cause i want 2 lose 21 or 31 pounds so that i can weigh 70 or 80 pounds
UR A BITCH U JERK lol.
Keira has always been thin, she doesnt have an eating disorder. I’ve always been a size 0 and i eat everything without restraint. Some people don’t have to starve themselves to be thin, its a rapid metabolism that doesnt allow me to gain any weight, and i’m happy, because then i won’t become some hideously chubby woman in my later years…so leave the skinny girls alone!
i’m 13, weigh 159 pounds, am a size twelve-14/16 i am 5″ 4′ and have never been a size zero!!!
i desperatly want to become thin. i am seriously thinking of starving myself….. i dont care about the consequences!!! so u listen up Lara… u are so lucky and u sound like u dont even care… ive been teased my whole damn life! what wud u do if u were in my shoes!? u are such a precosious BITCH!!! us “hideously chubby women” cant help being fat so u just count ur self lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always been a size 0 and it’s not my fault I stuff my face with food. Some girls just have metabolisms that are insanely fast
To: Anonymous,
Losing 21-31 pounds is BAD. I was in your situation last year, 13, maybe 90 pounds or so. When my gym teacher checked our BMI, (Body Mass Index’s) I was actually underweight at 5’0-5’1. I stayed around that weight till after second semester this year. Gym class had ended, and I gained about 10 pounds, brining me from that 93lbs. To a healthy 103. Does that make me fat? No, It makes me a healthy weight that I should stay at.
