Knightley's mum slams anorexia claims

Keira Knightley's mum Sharman Macdonald has slammed the press for claiming that her daughter suffers from anorexia.

Macdonald, the screenwriter for Knightley's new film The Edge Of Love, likened the media's behaviour to playground bullying.

She told OK!: "She has always been thin. She's her daddy's daughter, with his long body. It's a playground situation that we're looking at with the press - it's a form of bullying - but what can we do?"

Last year, Knightley won libel damages from the Daily Mail after the tabloid published an article suggesting that she had an eating disorder.
