Mischa Barton Told To Lose Weight

This is just absolutely ridiculous, it has been reported that Mischa Barton was ordered to lose some weight.

Mischa, who recently had a breakdown and was put under involuntary psychiatric care, is said to have been “shocked to tears” at the orders.

She was told to lose 10lbs for her role as a model in her new TV show, The Beautiful Life.

A source said, “she knows that means they are calling her fat behind her back. She knows she is heavier than she needs to be but to hear it like that? it really shook her. How can Mischa play a model when she’s looking so heavy? She’s broken down in tears more than once before shooting. It’s a lot of pressure for someone who is just out of hospital.”

Apparently she is determined to lose the weight as quick as she can, “she’s always been able to lose weight fast. Everyone knows she’s been struggling, so people are just really rooting for her.”
