Katharine McPhee shared in an interview with People magazine that making it onto American Idol saved her life. Prior to making it on the show, Katharine struggled with bulimia. Kat shares that her habit of continually bingeing and purging potentially could have eliminated the possibility of ever having a career using her voice because of the damage it inflicts on the vocal cords.
“When I made it onto American Idol, I knew that food–my eating disorder–was the one thing really holding me back,” McPhee tells People. “I was bingeing my whole life away for days at a time. So, when I got on the show, I said, ‘You know what? I can do well in this competition. Let me give myself a chance and just get a hold of this thing.’ “
I believe Katharine has an amazing opportunity to serve as a role model to many girls in America and around the world. Girls and women of all ages need encouragement and understanding that Katharine can provide by having gone through these struggles in her own life.
