Keira Knightley sues paper for saying she’s thin

Keira Knightley is suing the Daily Mail over an article which implied she lied about having an eating disorder. Her lawyer says:

“The article made reference to what it perceived to be Ms Knightley’s very slim appearance. 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. We wish to make clear that Ms Knightley has the deepest sympathy for the girl’s family. Ms Knightley has publicly denied suggestions that she might be anorexic or have a similar eating disorder, including in a prominent way at a well-publicised press conference to mark the European premiere of Pirates Of The Caribbean 2, in London last summer. Accordingly, in the proceedings, Ms Knightley will argue that the Mail’s article suggests that she has dishonestly sought to mislead the public about whether she has anorexia or a similar eating disorder and will show that she does not have anorexia; and 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.”

Maybe Keira Knightley doesn’t know what anorexia means. She probably thinks it’s some kind of dinosaur. That would explain a lot of things, like how she’s so very anorexic but thinks she isn’t. “No, no, I’m not an anorexic. I think those went extinct like a billion years ago.”

    Redneck bridge & tunnel girl??? hhmmm. OOHH, you mean your exgirlfriend from NYC that dumped your ass because you got too fat and now you’re jealous of & hate everyone from the enitre state of NY? That one? I heard you turned her straight and that she’s fucking Richport now. What up Hundo!

  2. scottica

    the only thing separating her from michael jackson is her dark skin tone.

    Jrz: I don’t know if you can answer this…is Lowlands a retarded Swede? I keep hearing the voice/grammar of an old Swedish roomate when I read those mid-boggling posts. He wasn’t retarded, but I’m pretty sure Lowlands is.

  4. Lesbianesque

    bitch, why would a straight girl be screwing a gay guy?
    I forgot you’re not a bridge and tunnel girl, you live in that abandoned car on 146th in the Bronx, right?

  5. biatcho

    I’ve only been to the bronx once to see the Skankees because I think the Bronx is the equivalent to Queens (gross) but I am pretty sure 146th Street is considered Washington Heights, i.e. upper Manhattan.

    And if I live in the car then I imagine it is not abandoned now is it? Let’s think before we type fats.

  6. Lesbianesque

    no, no I read about you in the paper, you got arrested for living in one of those abandoned buildings, so you’re living in an old car without a roof that someone left on the street.

    at #13 being naturally thin means that you dont have much fat on your body therefore meaning that you have no fat on your boobs and bum….(10)

    I’m so tired of all these skinny actresses parading around with their bones hanging out,and saying that they don’t have an eating disorder. It is obvious that they eat very little, and they all must have some screwed up mirrors in their house. HAVE A SNACK KEIRA!

  9. omelette ze roar

    She’s obviously not anorexic. Anorexics can’t have that much muscle definition. She’s just one of those beanpole built women.
    There’s lots of those around.

    (i think she’s qt)

  10. RichPort

    Damn Wally (Brain Embolism, lastactofdefiance, Imsuicidal, richport, etc.)… so bored you had to come in as Lesbianesque to pick fights? And then claiming your other sorry personality is trying to bone me? (shudder)

    Sloppy. Sloppy. Sloppy.

    You’ve lost your touch dude, and I feel AWFULLY bad about that.

    PHN: I’m not saying suicide is funny. I’m saying HIS suicide is funny.

    (passing Ms Knightley a copy of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, bookmarked at “thin”)

  13. “… more COCK!

    I gotta have more COCK!”

  14. spineofsnake

    everybody stop picking on this dude, there’s nothing wrong with the way he looks!

    except maybe the women’s bikini.

  15. There once was a man from Nantucket.

    Who blew me…

    Rhymes are not important when you are gay.

  16. Mick

    I THINK SHE HAS HONESTLY THE MOST PERFECT BODY I’VE EVER SEEN IN REAL LIFE.

  17. Mick

    She is not TOO thin. She’s perfect. All the fatties need to accept they are fat and stop pretending like they are normal and girls like Kiera are too thin.

  18. kathleen170

    Ew. Gross.

  19. Dan

    I’m not saying she’s not unusually thin, but she does seem to be kind of muscular–look at her stomach. Anorexia wastes muscle as much as anything else. Some people’ll be thinner than normal no matter what just like some people’ll be heavier than usual even if they exercise, eat right and are healthy otherwise.

    We call those thinner people “celebrities,” by the way. We live in a sedentary society that has a lot of extra food. If there was a shortage instead, the top 2% or whatever of heavier people would probably be celebrities. Look at old paintings and statues and shit.

  20. Dan

    116: Where else would you look at a body?

  21. anyone for a game of hungry, hungry hippo?

  22. mommy_long_legs

    jrzmommy…I don’t know you and I don’t CLAIM to know you…but damned if you don’t have the funniest things to say sometimes. Instead I categorize myself as “one who would probably like you in real life.”

  23. Michael1

    Her body IS perfect… if you like 14 year old boys. I don’t so I’m not stressing my zipper over these photos. Jessica Biel on the other hand…wowza!

  24. i don’t like her. she’s too thin! a girl can be thin and beautiful, but she’s not.

  25. RichPort

    Jrz and mommy_long_legs…sittin’ in a tree…

  26. jrzmommy

    103–I dunno what lowlands deal is. but you may have angered the Retarded Swede lobby by making that analogy. :)

    122–thanks. i’ll try to keep up the good work at being the sarcastic shrew that I am.

  27. Mick

    #20 I’m saying she has the best body I’ve seen in real life as opposed to airbrushed ones in magazines.

    127–The Superficial website isn’t real life. Try again.

  30. acatnamedfrank

    Why do these women always wear those stupid bathing suit tops?? They don’t look good on anyone. Their tits are always hanging out of them… and not in a good way.

    Haha; damn right!

  32. Jnicole28

    Okay i must say, she loosk skinnier than she did in some of her movies, but come on, thats not anorexia, shes tall and works out, if she had bigger boobs you wouldnt be saying shes anorexic, me for example, i can eat pretty much anything and not work out and i am skinny! now i dont have the abs she does, and im much shorter, but i’ve probably gained 5 pounds in the past couple of years and i rarely work out and eat whatever i want
    so despite the fact that those pictures dont make her look the greatest, doesnt mean she is anorexic, she always been thinner (unlike linsday or nicole)

  33. nidge

    Love her or hate her, she’s just really skinny with small breasts; there’s no eating disorder here.

    She’s got weight in her face, weight in her thighs, and weight in her arms. Not a *lot* of weight, but she’s proportional in a skinny way — neither skeletal nor sickly.

    Skin tone is normal, and the hair looks normal. Two things that go strange with eating disorders.

    Likewise, neither her elbows, hipbones, or ribs are standing out.

    As others have said, you can’t have muscle tone like hers if you’re anorexic.

    Eating more pasta wouldn’t kill her, but I’d bet money she’s not barfing up her food.

    Nothing to see here (unless you think she’s hot). Move along …

  34. Mick

    #127 that photo above isn’t airbrushed to make her look better… infact most of the time the photos on the internet are airbrushed to make people look worse.
    So you can try again.

  35. lola dee

    she looks like a man. and no, thats not sexy on a woman, unless you’re a dyke.

  36. licklick

    This woman has ZERO sex appeal and the UGLIEST ass in the world. She should talk to Britney about how to put on some weight.

  37. Dee

    #13-LMFAO!!!!
    there’s no way anyone could honestly say that this fugly broad is attractive!

  38. iamsuperbleeder

    How in god’s name did she get her boobs too look as large as they did in Pirates of the Caribian? Geez, that woman’s thin! She needs to eat something! It doesn’t help her image that she has absolutly NO hips at all either. There’s athletic skinny, then there’s anorexic skinny; she’s defantly anorexic, or is just not keeping her food down, because that mess isn’t normal. About the only thing that looks good on her is her belly piercing. She would look funny as hell pregnant, lol. She’d look like a length of string with a gimungus knot in it. She probably couldn’t pass a child with those hips though…

  39. yeah, sues them cause that’s a way understatement….she’s a freakin rail!

  40. Laila

    She’s skinny, not anorexic.
    You should come to belgium because here a lot of young girls and women look just like her: tall, skinny and often gorgeous.
    To the reporter who started this discussion: wonder if you would like to be displayed in a boxer short on the internet and let people comment if you’re fat or not, pretty or ugly? Guess not…

  41. Zara

    I got no time for these anorexic whores – clearly public opinion isn’t gonna sway them!

    But she is gross, unattractive, ugly and disgusting at the moment – who the fuck would want to do her? She would probably have to stop half-way through and throw up the celery stick she had for lunch.

    She needs to gain some weight, get some tits, get rid of the six pack spray-on and get some better taste in clothing.

  42. wtf

    Um, wow. I am easily as thin as her. I eat all I want. I just exercise alot.

    retards

    Although I’m not a fan of her acting, I think Kiera is one of the more normal celebs out there. I think she tries to be true to herself as much as possible. The fact of the matter is that she’s just a skinny girl with little boobs, and I think she’s sort of fine with that. I think I’d get angry too if people were making up lies about medical conditions that I don’t have. I don’t understand why people hate her so much. Honestly, the only logical explanation is that people are jealous because she is naturally so thin, and therefore feel some need to harass her and tell her to eat cookies and cheeseburgers and stuff. The men/women who talk about how they’d never have sex with her because she’s so little – that’s fine, that’s your opinion. But a lot of people like a slender woman with smaller breasts. Or even moreso, a lot of people like a woman who doesn’t change herself – have surgery, etc. – for the sake of others. I think people ought to be ashamed of themselves for making such a big deal about one of the more natural women in hollywood.

    And for the record, 141, I’d like to know how one goes about “getting” tits. Are you suggesting that everyone below a size B gets implants?

    i do not think Keira Knightley is anorexic.
    some people are just born skinny and tall.
    I, like Keira, am very tall, 5’9″ and weight about 115 lbs.
    i LOVE to cook and eat food. i eat ALOT of food too.
    I eat more than my fair share of 3 meals a day and cannot gain a single pound.
    I dont know why these people from the paper are saying awful things about her.
    she is very good actress and very pretty.
    she is an excellent role model and i look up to her and many others do too.
    Everyone was made perfect they way they are.
    can’t people respect that?

  46. claire87

    Keira is also a unique celebrity.
    she is not fake and doesnt have huge fake boobs.
    she is a good role model unlike some of the other celebs out there.
    i think that people are jelous of her and thats why they say the things they do.
    she is naturally thin and gorgous and people just want to say stuff about her to make themselves feel better about the way they look.
    i have the same body type as Keira; very tall, skinny, and small boobs, (yes i do and im not ashamed of them either)
    And i absolutely HATE to work out. i hate exercise.
    I eat as much as the next person but it just disappears.
    Some people are just like that.
    and plus everyone wants to be skinny so why do they say stuff about keira being as skinny as she is?
    its not anorexic skinny, its just her body type.
    someone is always getting picked on for stupid shit.
