I'm all for her getting professional help, and I don't expect her to be fixed right away, but she's already lying again. This was not impulsive. It was calculated and premeditated. I have no reason to believe at this moment, that her apology is not just as calculated to help her regain as much of her image as possible in the face of insurmountable evidence and a story that has gone viral.
Eating disorders are serious business, and if she truly is suffering from it, then I hope she overcomes...but again...my gut tells me she's calculating again what she can include in her statement to help sway people back on her side. Because in truth, it's hard to get really upset at someone who is suffering from an eating disorder...right? Except that other than a doctor (who has patient confidentiality), who can actually verify she actually has an eating disorder?
Call me cynical...
