She reveals the elaborate rituals and extreme measures taken to control her weight, even as her career reached new heights. De Rossi masterfully explores the complex interplay between fame, the fear of exposure, and the profound isolation of living in the closet, all while her eating disorder consumed her life. This powerful narrative offers a transparent look into the behaviors and emotions of someone battling an eating disorder, ultimately leading to a journey of recovery, self-acceptance, and advocacy.
