i was on www.news.ninemsn.com.au and i found this article:

Keira Knightley has filed a libel suit over a news story she claims suggested that she has anorexia and is responsible for a girl's death from the disorder.

What on earth! I read and that's horrible. I am sympathetic for the girl's family but how can they blame it on kiera! She's not anorexic! One of her personal quotes is "The most exercise I get is flicking the remote." Lol, she's ver thin but not anorexic! I think this unfair of the media! "She is of fault because she set a bad example!" AHHHHHHHHH the media drives me crazy sometimes!

omg that is absolutely ridiculous!!!!!

Ive got two friends that are approximately keira's weight, and they eat like pigs! lol

I think it has something to do with your metabolism.
Aswell as this, it has alot to do with your bone structure.

There is nothing wrong with keira.
Sure she is a little on the skinny side, but her bone structure, height and and metabolic rate come into play with all of this...

I have read in interviews that she has stated that her grandma suffered from anorexia, and that it does run in her family, but that is not to say that she does have the disease...

Omg, i cant believe a family would blame her for causing the death of their daughter...

another thing...has anyone seen those 'pro anorexia' websites?!
they absolutely disgust me...why anyone would want to become anorexic by lifestyle choice is beyond me...

Sorry for my rant lol
this is just a sensitive subject as i have struggled with my own weight since i hit teenage-hood.

I fluxuated between 154lbs (thats right...i was over weight at 13) and just under 105lbs at the age of 15.(this was during a time when i kept wanting to lose weight...and it was the stupidest thing i did, considering i am 5"7 (not too sure how tall that is in inches lol).

I am now a healthy weight (not sure what it is in lbs lol) and i dont want to change anything about myself...

I just dont understand why girls feel the need to comply with the amount of stress they are under reguarding weight loss....

it makes me feel incredibly sad

"Simon Smith, a lawyer with Schillings law firm, said the 21-year-old star's lawsuit was filed against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail, for an article on January 11.

Smith indicated Knightley was unhappy with a link the newspaper made between her and a teenage girl who died of anorexia, an eating disorder in which the victims starve themselves but still think they are overweight.


The article made reference to what it perceived to be Ms Knightley's very slim appearance," Smith said.




It "carried a photograph of Ms Knightley, taken without her consent, whilst wearing a bikini and relaxing on a beach on holiday," Smith said.

"The article then reported the recent, tragic death of a teenage girl who suffered from anorexia and contained an interview with the girl's mother," he said.

"We wish to make clear that Ms Knightley has the deepest sympathy for the girl's family," he added.

"However, Ms Knightley has publicly denied suggestions that she might be anorexic or have a similar eating disorder," Smith said.

On July 4, after her appearance in a revealing gold Gucci dress at the European premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Knightley said her family has a history of anorexia but she insisted she did not suffer from the disorder.

In the lawsuit, Smith said, Knightley "will argue that the Mail's article suggests that she has dishonestly sought to mislead the public about whether she has anorexia or similar eating disorder and will show that she does not have anorexia."

He added the suit "further will challenge the suggestion that she is responsible and to blame for the tragic death of the teenage girl by setting a bad example."

The case is expected to go to jury trial at London's High Court either late this year or early next year if it does not settle sooner.

In July last year, Knightley admitted that her grandmother and great-grandmother had both developed anorexia.

But the actress claimed to be surprised when people started inquiring about her own eating habits."



its absolutely ridiculous, its their daughters own fault, shes in her teens and should know its not right to be anorexic, after what theyve "said" about mary-kate, lindsey lohan etc.... and its extremelly unfair, at ur teens, you shouldnt worry about ur weight and looks, you havent started growing, and its her fault for wanting to have her looks, her parents shouldve done something, its unfair that keira is just like that, when i was ten i was skinny as, i ate soooo much, but i never gained anything, now i gain, kinda easy, why put so much pressure over keira, when shes not the cause of it......*soz, im sposed to b in bed, i have no idea what words hagve meaning.......*

Why won't they leave Keira alone....the media are just assholes..

i agree chiki.

I would hate to be famous...

i wouldnt...well i wud cos ov all the rumours nd ppl tlkin behind ur bac nd the paparazzi nd nt gettin any privacy but yh i wudnt mind being famous lol sorry totally off topic

carry on

lmao at SarahB

either the tabloids pick on u coz ur fat, or too skinny...and there NEVER Seems to be a happy medium

Take Kirsty Alley (actress) for example!

She put on loads of weight...and then lost it....and the media critized her for looking 'bad' for both of them!!!!

its riduculous

I don't want to be famous. I just want to act. Even though it could lead to "famous"--I said could lol

But I wouldn't care what the media would say. I'll take those damn media news and use it as toilet paper

lol!

i like how they have taken all of their skinny models off the catwalks in Milan...that shows a good sign!!!

but i mean...ok, look at vanessa paradis.

shes about the same size as keira, i rekon.
They look about the same, anyway...

but does SHE get shouted down about her weight??

NO!

And why not???

Because she is not a young woman in the media all the time, thats why!

...the media seem to think that any beautiful woman within the range of 19-27 has got anorexia or some other problem...

gah! ... tabloids...nothing but spazdicated-nipple-bashers!!!!!

That's the challenge that some actors know that it will come in their way: the media.

I know it. I havent studied this in school or at my university but I know what I'm talking about. I have been "studying' at my own home since I was 5--hollywood that is.

mmmmmmm yh its like the younger u r the more u get tlked bout nd criticized(?) bout the way i look

I LOVE KEIRA!!!! There is no need to blame her for anything because, yes my sympathys are with the family of the girl who died, but bottom line Keira didnt hold a gun to the girls head and said BE ANOREXIC.....i may sound like a B****H for saying this but the family really needs to face reality and denial and understand that their daughter did this to herself!

yeah she just has like high motabolism I have friends like that they eat all the time and never get fat its actually quite annoying but its just the way they are

That's awful! I would be quite irritated if I was Keira..

yeah me too

I would be irritated but the more irritated you get, the more publicity you make. The more they get on you because you get pissed...more pissed, more publicity, more money for the media..

this is true man I wish it wasn't always like that no matter what you do something bad comes out of it, I mean your a guy you hug a friend thats a girl someone gets a picture all of a sudden you have a 'secret affair' must get annoying

It is. But what can you do If you make a scene about it "LEAVE ME ALONE" again...more publicity.

You have to know how to handle these kinds of situations. Make a statement that its not true and bla bla.

they should offer classes to the celeb's thats what I plan on being so maybe I should practice now... just in case u know i happen to get famous...

i'll be rooting for ye, mate

It's not people in the media's fault that people are anorexic. It's a psychological disorder, often stemming more from a person's make-up and previously established habits than outside influences. I get so sick of people assuming every single thin actress is anorexic. Keira is not sickly thin. She has a very athletic build, which is sadly how more people would look if they just ate right and exercised. People need to learn about who to really blame in situations like this.

exactly, have they ever heard when keira is on the red carpet "i do sit ups occasionally", which obviously means, she excercising....

Her abs are awesom.

Yes because even though Keira is real thin....she doesn't look SICK....if she was anorexic, u'd be able to tell in her face and she'd be weak....and she would not have been able to do those sword fights sequences what so ever!!!!

true! very true!!!

That is so true, PirateDiva.

She would've been weak and wouldn't be able to do all those kick ass moves she made in AWE.

Yes.....i know this because i hav a very close cousin of mine who is annorexic....this made me real depressed....and so i researched it to better understand her! I'm no expert....but Keira (although a very Tiny woman) i strongly believe she isn't! I've SEEN HER IN PERSON AND SHE DOESNT NOT LOOK SICK!!!!

but the thing is...

the more keira fights back, the more the media will accuse her of being anorexic (because apparently in the world of show business, the more you deny, the more guilty tyou are...apparently)

Its twisted and cruel, and i feel very sorry for her.

The only way is to ignore. Not in a bitchy way because that gives more publicity, again

She could go just go, "Well, I think it's rather offensive to those who are skinny and must fall into the category of anorexic"

Or just say "meh, not true."

if they keep bringing it up just say no or something or ignore.

They get tired, eventually.

That is true the more u deny it....they'll just say ur in Denial or ur Guilty....Horrible World!!!!

I Blame the Press for all these celeberty couples breaking up!!!

exactly, hmmm...ive said that alot in this thread.

Its awefull, most women are jelous if her just because she gets to kiss johnny and orlando....uh....GROW UP!

I'm jelous, but I don't hate her. Shoo, the more kissing I see of Jack and Liz the more happier I get lol.

Uh Huh Me Too !!!

Keira! hehe

pocky, there's an error on the link you posted

ah! there fixed it.. it goes to the page now and not just the picture..

nvm thats not keira lol

http://www.padawansguide.com/decoy_theed_gallery.shtml

there.. thats keira..

Wow! Keira looks sooo young.

I know she a Babe!

You can't sue for libel if you are a celebrity.

I would sue them....they have no right going onto her like that--they are not ****ing doctors..

Yes Plus dumping this on her....they are only going to Ruin her IMAGE!!! I can see it Now...... Nicole Ricci, Kate Bosworth, Keira Knightly....How Low Can their Weight Go, Before they Break In Half!!!

Keira so doesnt deserve that kind of Nasty Publicity!

its like mary-kate olsen, like the band Bowling For Soup, fair enuf, its just to go in with the song, but "how did mary-kate lose all that weight" is in there song "High School Never Ends" But Mary-Kate never said she was anorexic, did she? but they crowded her, the press should just get over themselves, damn papparazi

^^ Well actually Mary-Kate did admit to anorexia and said she was entering treatment for it! I remember for a period of time Ashley would go places by herself and they would always ask her how her sister was doing in her treatments!?

Im so angry at these ass farts. They have no right of blaming on Keira for that girl's death. It's horrible, it's sad! But don't blame it on Keira--she's not even sick!!

Thats just them in Denial....and wanting to blame someone else cause it's easier and not there daughter, who did that to herself....don t get me wrong i do sympathize for their loss....but if they are gonna blame someone....blame it on someone more realistic like: The Girls Boyfriend who always called her fat and support her not eating....or something...but not someone the girl doesnt even know (maybe just idolizes)

I agree. There are guys like that. But it's not Keira's fault. The deceased's mother is being in denial, not Keira.

people just like to make drama its the way of the world

True Story!

well....maybe keira (if theyre giving her a hard time, like she doesnt like it) she can just agree that shes the cause of this teenagers death, who can make up her mind, and that was the way she wanted to be, and the teenagers parents cn just sue her, and she cn giv them money, she has money, lol......i dont know anymore, woke up...again.

^^ what that would be giving in to STUPIDITY if Keira did that!!! RIDICULOUS doesnt matter if she has MONEY...they r trying to blame her for a death that serious!

yeah i no, i just come up with stupid solutions, coz im bored really. but my solution to everything, is that evry1 blows up and dies.

I wish for peace

I wish for AWE (the Movie that is...lol)...lol!

I don't think shes anorexic, i used to but her abs are pure muscle and if you are anorexic...that's just impossible.
She's just really skinny , and works out a lot.

She is just beautiful and they are jelous lol

YuP YuP YuP and Claudia Black has a really big Point there!

Her abs kicks ass!

Yup YuP YuP!!!

She has really nice legs too!
