An
exclusive for Mary Hart from Entertainment Tonight - Chloe and Olivia
talking for the first time about Chloe's recovery from anorexia (this was originally recorded earlier in the month). Chloe
tells how she has had anorexia for 2 years but has come out of it
now.
When asked what Chloe would say to people believing that she's
still suffering, Chloe replies No matter what I
say, people are always going to have their opinion - oh she's so skinny
so she can't be.
Chloe says she doesn't want to be known as Olivia's
daughter who's sick.
She wants to concentrate on her album. When asked
about the particulars of her illness Chloe says that part of her life
is a really big blur to me. I don't remember it.
They show
the photo of Olivia and Chloe out shopping that caused the original
controversy. On a more positive note Chloe is shown in the studio
performing Delicious
from her upcoming album. They also show snippets
of Olivia performing Grace and Gratitude.
Chloe tells how her
album and writing helped her recovery and that that she used every ounce
of pain and every life lesson for it.
In the second part of the interview Olivia talks about Karen Carpenter. That was the first time that Olivia heard the word anorexia.
Olivia is very proud of Chloe - I'll continue to say how proud I am
of her to have the courage to sit here and talk to you about this. I
think she's amazing. And that fact that she wanted to talk about it
rather than be talked about. And I just have a lot of admiration for
her.
Chloe also talks about her admiration for her mother with the greatest compliment - I hope to
be like her one day.
