Mary-Kate Olsen in Eating Disorder Rehab

Mary-Kate Olsen has entered a clinic for treatment of an eating disorder, sources tell PEOPLE.

"Mary-Kate Olsen recently entered a treatment facility to seek professional help for a health-related issue," Michael Pagnotta, a spokesman for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who turned 18 on June 13, said in a statement Tuesday. He did not specify what that health issue was.

Pagnotta added: "She is thankful for the encouragement and support of her friends and family who are with her every step of the way."

The sisters, who each boast an estimated net worth of $150 million and will enter New York University as freshmen in September, admitted in a PEOPLE cover story last month: "Being in the public eye, you're labeled that you have an eating disorder," said Ashley. "You have a drug addiction," said Mary-Kate.

Ashley, however, was quick to add: "We don't have problems! There's nothing to worry about."

Insisted Mary-Kate: "If I had a drug addiction, I would be in a thingy – like Promises, the Malibu (rehab) place. You don't see me there. So, like, come on. It's crazy."

Mr. Stefani · 06-22-2004, 01:21 PM

It has nothing to do with Full House.

Most Olsen-Twin related comments are on the Full House boards, and a little while ago we werre having a discussion about Mary Kate's possible eating disorder.

Mr. Stefani · 06-22-2004, 01:24 PM

Thats nice. If thats the case then i'd have to put it in all the other boards of their crappy shows as well as the movie forum.

Yet, when was it when they were saying nothing was wrong?

consentida · 06-22-2004, 01:34 PM

I knew she had a problem. She's been looking really thin and frail for a while now.

The Olsen's Full House days are behind them. This is a current event about a celebrity. Those who frequent the Chit Chat board, and not the Full House board, may want to discuss this.

With all that money, why would they eat in a disorderly way?

And why are they going to college?

Warm & Fuzzy · 06-22-2004, 01:48 PM

I find it weird that it didn't say which eating disorder they have. But nonetheless, I really hope they get well from it soon. Any eating disorder is horrible to have. It takes your soul, happiness, self-esteem, and the very last bit of good in you away. Utlimately, it takes your life away too. So, I'm glad they're seeking professional help. Best of luck to them.

A TV People:
It's quite hard to admit a problem like this, so you can't exactly blame them. It's not abnormal to initially be in denial.

I am Him:
I think that was a very offensive comment you made. I know many friends with an eating disorder, and it's not at all parties or games. They're physically and emotionally hurt, and some of them are slowly rotting away. I have an array of eating disorders myself. So I must say I am quite offended...

Again, I am VERY offended.
"With all that money, why would they eat in a disorderly way?"
Well, believe it or not, even if you had all the money in the world, you can still develop one. Just because they have money, doesn't mean they're an exception. The next thing you're gonna tell me is that because they have money, they don't have, say.... the flu? Allergies?? My point is, money has absolutely NOTHING to do with disordered eating.
