Hilary Duff blames media for weight loss

03/20/2007

Duff has gone from a baby-faced teen queen to a super-svelte starlet in the public eye. And the actress-singer admits that her weight loss a couple of years ago was motivated by media criticism of her figure.

The 19-year-old “Material Girls” star admitted to the U.K.’s Mail on Sunday that “I did get skinny. I’ve felt that pressure like everyone else in my position. When a newspaper comes out that says ‘Duff Puff — she must have gained 15 pounds’ or something like that, how would any normal person react?”

Hilary laments, “It’s so mean, but everyone keeps buying that stuff and talking about it, so it’s not going to go away.”
