During an interview on an American talk show, Richie, 24, talked about speculations that she is suffering from anorexia. The star told Tyra Banks that her weight loss is the result of stress. The Simple Life star explained, "I think I look OK. A lot of people gain weight under stress and a lot of people lose weight under stress and I am one of those people that loses weight. I am naturally a thin person and I am 5′ 1" and putting on five or 10 pounds, that looks like a lot on me."
