Glee star Lea Michele is reportedly wasting away, since the tragic death of her boyfriend and co-star, Cory Monteith. New photos of the super skinny actress have many worried that the grief-stricken starlet is getting too thin. Is Michele's sudden weight loss dangerous?
After a recent red carpet appearance at the Elle Women of Hollywood event last month, reports began to spread that the starlet was losing too much weight. The Glee actress looks notably thinner than ever before. OK! recently quoted a few anonymous sources who claim that it was Lea's grief that caused her to lose so much weight. One unnamed insider claims, "Lea has plummeted down to about 98 pounds on her 5-foot-3 frame, which is not good at all.”
The source later added:
"She's wasting away to nothing, the second week after Cory died she lost eight pounds in seven days.”
A separate insider echoes the comments, claiming:
“Lea just has no appetite. She doesn’t really make eating her top priority because she is still grieving. She knows she’s lost weight, but doesn’t feel like she’s scary skinny. She isn’t going to listen to criticism anyway because she’s either ‘too fat’ in this industry by being five pounds overweight or ‘too skinny,’ so she just dismisses it all.”
Last month, an unnamed source spoke with People about how Michele is handling the tragic loss:
"It's getting a little easier. She still misses him every day, She talks about Cory all the time."
The source later added:
"She really struggled. It was hard to get up every morning. But now, she's doing okay."
