Coco Tried To Diet Away Her Butt After Being Told She Was “Fat”

March 13, 2012 by Hollywoodite

In a new interview, Coco reveals past issues with food stemming from criticism of her weight as a teenager.

Coco gives an interview with Sister 2 Sister Magazine, during which she elaborates on dabbling with an eating disorder in an attempt to starve away her curves; instead resorting to quick fixes, like diet pills and cleanses. From the sounds of it, a photographer with little tact pulled Coco, real name Nicole Austin, aside during a modelling/ casting appearance during which they said lose weight or you won’t be hired.

She recalls: “When I was 18, the J. Lo butt was not in. To have a booty was not the thing. You were considered fat if you had a booty. I was being cast in stuff where you’ll see all these really beanpole-looking white girls with blond hair and big boobs. That’s what I wanted to be… I was pulled aside during a photo shoot and a director told me that I needed to lose weight, that I was getting fat.”

She tried, unsuccessfully, to lose the weight: “When I heard that I went into full craziness. I went and tried everything from diet pills to cleansing to everything you could possibly do to get rid of your butt. Bulimia. I tried that but I love my food too much.”

Recently, Coco tried to prove her butt was real with an ultrasound. Although, it proves nothing because some forms of augmentation like fat transfer do not have the form to show with that kind of test.
