Olsen Twin Enters Treatment For Eating-Related Issue
Mary-Kate Olsen Enters Treatment Within Last 10 Days

POSTED: 1:25 pm EDT June 22, 2004
One of the Olsen twins has reportedly entered a treatment facility to seek professional help for an eating-related issue.


According to "Access Hollywood," Mary-Kate Olsen's publicist has issued a statement, saying that the actress has "recently entered a treatment facility to seek professional help for a eating-related issue. She is thankful for the encouragement and support of her friends and family who are with her every step of the way."

Mary-Kate Olsen entered the center within the last 10 days. The teen millionaire still plans to attend New York University this fall and will be traveling later this summer, according to the statement.

Mary-Kate Olsen and her sister, Ashley Olsen, have made headlines recently for their first big screen effort "New York Minute" and for reaching their 18th birthday.

The fraternal twins started in the entertainment business at 9-months-old, sharing a role in the hit sitcom "Full House." They've since gone on to create their own home-video and merchandising dynasty.

Personally I hope she recovers soon.. she's turned out to be a pretty young woman and remains very talented. I hope she gets better soon.

I wish Mary Kate the best and my prayers/thoughts are with her.

Good for her, although they joked about it when they both appeared on SNL a couple of weeks ago.

Cheers to their parents also, although they should have helped with the eating problem long before this. But at least the girls were able to have control over their money (so much so that they'll be billionaires WITH A "B" by the time they're 21). So many times, we hear about child stars whose parents or managers squandered the child's money before they could have a legal say-so in the matter.

Like Gary Coleman or Macauley Culkin for ie.

There have been all sorts of rumors going around about her having an eating disorder - especially after some recent photos showing nothing but skin and bones!

I hope that she does well with the program.

I hope she does well too. May god be with her

Prayers going Mary Kate's way.. I really hope she looks more than just skin and bones right now. She's a very pretty girl..
