'Housewives' star Rossi: 'I was bulimic'

Rex Features

Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi has revealed that she has struggled with bulimia.

The 31-year-old told The Insider that she has suffered from the eating disorder since high school.

She said: "I was a lot heavier back in high school and in college. I wasn't even fat, I was only 130 pounds. But compared to what I look like now at 115 pounds, I thought I looked fat."

The Bravo reality show personality stated that she "got healthy" through therapy and now has a better outlook on her body image.

She added: "My boyfriend Slade gives me the compliment that my butt is my best feature, so I try and make sure my butt looks cute in whatever I have on."

Rossi recently claimed that Orange County is classier than the other series in the Real Housewives franchise.
