SKIN AND BONERS –
Mar. 9, 2022 – With the help of mental health professionals, Euphoria’s Chloe Cherry has recovered from an eating disorder, but it’s something she’s not sure she would have developed if it wasn’t for her time in the porn industry.
Cherry, 24, explained on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she had never thought of herself as fat until that was something “an agent in pornography” told her.
“It all started when this agent that I had when I was porn said to my face that I was fat,” she recalled to host Alex Cooper. “He said, ‘Everyone says that you’re fat and the fastest way to lose weight is by not eating.’ He said that to me and I was like, ‘What the f—.’ “ Cherry said that she adopted a vegan diet and tried to limit her calories to 200 a day, which left her “miserable.”
Over time, she started picking up on ways to heal, from working with mental health professionals to listing podcasts focused on eating disorder recovery and reading about other women who shared their experiences.
