Here's a question. I did not know about the problem she was having during the show. I was shocked to here that she had a binge and purge problem. And anorexia. I am very much a fan of hers growing up and i often wondered why she looked that way.Kinda like she was sick or something. I know it was written for her to be half baked. And that was something that i wished that they did not write for her to be. But i wonder if she was in pain on the set. And did any one know and if so was she getting help. I feel bad for her. I always thought that she was a good actress. She is one of my favorite stars. She could be perfect for a role like Raiders of the lost ark. Or something like the tv show crossing jorden. But on the other hand i am happy to hear that she is a born again christian,that's the most exciting thing to hear about her. Wonderful!

I wonder what her health was like during her brief stint on the ill fated "Men Behaving Badly" series. I kind of remember her being a little bit bigger than she used to be.

I feel like such a $#!* for not seeing any of that show. I bet it wasn't the best show but i will be sure to catch it when i can.

I don't think she had the problem in that show anyway. It was said that she had the problem for ten years in the family ties days. also it was said in this website that she overcame the problem by becoming a born again christian. And im sure with the love of her family.

Justine Bateman is a born again Christian? Isn't she Jewish?

michaelknight777 · 02-16-2002, 01:45 AM

There are jews who are christian. "jews for Jesus" as they are called. Any way that's another subject.

As for the question my friend,i don't know for sure if she is.
It sure is possible.

alf8mycat · 02-16-2002, 01:52 AM

Men Behaving Badly was a good show it would of lasted had Ron Eldard stayed on. Apparently he wanted to leave the show and the whole show was built around his character and Rob Schneiders.

Yeah Justine was anorexic, belemic, and a compulsive eater during Family ties. In 1993 she started this diet thing to help her, and became a born again Christian. I did not know she was jewish? I did not think justine looked sick on Family Ties just very skinny!! I feel really stupid for asking this but someone said she was anorexic and binge prudge. What is binge and prudge? (or however you spell it!!)

That condition is an eating disorder called bulemia. It's when a person eats vasts amount of food and then induces vomiting. It's a serious disease that can ruin your teeth and your stomach. I'm glad Justine worked through her problems. She seems very sweet.

Fixed a non-working UBBC tags for you. /Daniel

That's right,well she has beat that disorder. And she is doing great as her new fashion design company has really been growing. check it out.

I hope she becomes the greatest fashion designer in the world!

okay this might be a little bit off topic but I heard somewhere that Justine took speed during family ties. Is that true? I wouldn't think she was. Especailly after they did that episode where Alex took speed. But that was tv.

michaelknight777 · 02-18-2002, 02:22 AM

I had no idea she was anorexic/bulemic. I heard that about Tracy Gold from Growing Pains, but not Justine. It's great that she turned her life around.
