Star Mgazine wrote a not-so-nice and unnecessary article about Mary-Kate Olsen’s supposed weight gain. Mary-Kate was spotted out in New York recently with a fuller face than normal.
This could be attributed to a million different reasons – jet-lag, fatigue, illness, bad camera angle and yes, weight gain. But, being Star, the chose the option that’s perceived to be the worst – weight gain – then spin it as negatively as possible.
According to Star, MK is now 130 pounds – 20 pounds “heavier” than her ideal weight. The tabloid claims her excessive partying is taking a toll on her body. Alcohol causes weight gain, bloating and bad skin.
However, MK is supposedly taking care of the issue. “Mary-Kate’s weight gain is definitely freaking her out,” a source says. “It was kind of shocking to everyone – no one thought she could gain so much weight! But now Mary-Kate’s working out and trying to cut back on partying, so she’s getting back on track.”
I hate how the tabloids focus on star’s weight. They’re always too thin or too fat and when they are, it’s an eating disorder or pigging out. They can’t ever undergo normal weight fluctuations that happen with lifestyle changes and just the season. It’s really unfair.
You can see a scan of the article here. It’s the September 7th issue, with John Travolta and Kelly Preston on the cover.

i love marykate olsen! how can you say shes to fat? she may of put weight on but its for the best! she was so skinny now shes just right. i dont think she will ever be fat at all!! x
plus what they are taking into account is that in the first picture she is about 17 years old and now she’s a 23 year old growing into her body… i think adults know better than anyone that we typically fill out of our teenage bodies as we get older.
First she’s too skinny, now she’s too fat. Is there ever a point when someone is “good enough”? What kind of picture is this sending to all the girls reading the magazines that may be struggling (even if just a little bit). If MK’s weight bothers her, then that should be her choice. If it doesn’t bother her, then good for her! Either way, she’s beautiful and much more successful at such a young age than the jerk who wrote the article will ever be!
I think that is ridiculous. First of all the fact that people are saying she is bloated is extremely stupid: have you seen how thin she is? Second of all, 130 and 5′ does not mean she would be a lot heavier. I’m 127 at 5’1 and I may not be skin and bones, but I’m not fat either. It depends on muscle and all that other crap. And the pounds have nothing to do with whether she looks good or not. It all depends on the person. She’s still thin, weight gain or not, so people should just leave her alone. She needs to be happy with herself without worrying what the tabloids are gonna come up with next. She went through enough with her weight. Articles about her are NOT going to help at all.
you dont tell someone who has struggled with anorexia that they’re bloated. not face to face and especially not publically by writing an artical about it. its the ultimate reason to make someone fall back into their eating disorder and whoever the ‘journalist’ is who wrote this shit should be ashamed of him/herself. sometimes I wonder what the world has become she’s just a normal girl like everyone else the only difference is that she’s famous she goes through struggles in her life like all the rest of us why do people make it so hard? the people who read and believe the bullshit in these magazines are people who are so disappointed in their own lifes and so unconfident that they find it thrilling to pick on other people who have more then they could ever dream of.
I agree Megan – there’s no way she’s 130 pounds. But even if she was it’s no one’s business but hers…
I can’t believe the stories magazines try to spin these days about “unhealthy weight” it is ridiculous. They have no idea what they’re talking about.
The way they write, anyone would think she was morbidly obese. She’s not even close to being overweight.
there’s no way she ways 130 pounds in the last picture. i’m 5’4″ and 130 pounds and i look healthy (as she does in the last picture). at only 5′ tall, she would be much heavier if she actually weighed that much.
Actually if MK was 130lbs she would still be in the normal BMI range for her age & hight. Take that f*cking Star!
Marykate has been sick for a really long time now, i think the pictures that are shown of her above are great. I think people such as the media should stop picking on her, people that are not in the public eye gain and lose weight every day and they dont get picked on so why should they? marykate is a human like us, who has feelings and problems and she should be treated in the way. I think if she wants to go to the gym to be healthy than do it, but dont go because you want to be skinney again, its not healthy. Marykate is beautiful no matter what weight she is
