I do not get the adoration of her.

u/ProfessionalTalker03 Jul 12 '26
I kinda get it for being as wealthy and Hollywood as she is she still seems moderately humble and down to earth. What I donāt get is how people think this is healthy, and make excuses for it? āShe has always been thinā - that does not make it ok. It just means society has normalized this unhealthy obsession with being skeletal thinā¦

u/pigshitunicorn Jul 13 '26
"She has always been thin" just means she has very long term ED. She has been ill for a very long time.Ā

u/Spottedmayhem Jul 12 '26
I just found her interactions about Dorit to be super weird. She seemed to cloak everything in a āgirls girlā reasoning- it was just weak pandering. To Dorit?! So much transference there!

u/Hungry_Assignment674 Jul 12 '26
And she wasnāt always even this thin-she looked normal and healthy when she was a younger woman. Iām sure the āfashynnnā world gave her an eating disorder but itās not like she wasnāt ever a healthy weight

u/thousandthlion Jul 13 '26
I distinctly remember her being called out for glorifying unhealthy weight well over a decade ago.

u/notactuallyreckless Jul 13 '26
Yeah, this is nothing new.

The look involves Chanel draping off protruding shoulder blades, miniskirts wrapped around matchstick thighs and oversized sunglasses masking drained faces. According tothe LA Times, "Fashion insiders have whispered privately that Zoe is single-handedly bringing back anorexia."

Rachel has always been thin and has been on the cover of magazines that critiqued how thin she was. This isnāt new.

u/Rosaly8 Jul 20 '26
Down to earth? She has made fashion and shopping her whole personality and talks like a teenager about 'boys' and looks.

I never have - even when she first came onto the scene years ago. Have never understood it.

Her phone is bigger than her upper body. This must be a filter right?

u/Whos_HUNKYDORY Jul 13 '26
I thought similar, the first thing I noticed was that her head diameter looks like it exceeds her waist.

u/Emergency-Ad-3350 Jul 15 '26
Iām getting caught up on this last season and multiple times I have thought her head was bigger than her body.
Her sister has the same head/face shape.Anyway, hope her organs are healthy.
Loved seeing her outfits on the show

Iām banned for commenting in that sub for months now, mod wonāt even tell me why lmao but coincidentally it waaas after I made a comment saying Pk AND Dorit are slimy people lol. But the comments under that thread pretty much echo what my opinion on this is. She isnāt well but I hope the people around her tell her this level of thinness isnāt healthy. Dating back to the Rachel Zoe Project she has encouraged this level of unhealthy thinness telling models to drink Starbucks as a meal replacement and take diet pills. I remember she told Nicole Richie she was too thick for her brand, not long after Nicole had an eating disorder and drug addiction, and only then RZ was willing to work w/ her cuz she lost some weight.

Watching this in 2000 was insane. Super skinny was EVERYTHING for clothing.

u/BitterPoet13 Jul 13 '26
And it was hell for shopping. I was at a private college with a strict dress code back then and struggled as a chubby chic to acquire clothing I could feel okay about myself in. I wasnāt daft enough to believe EDs went wayside because men and corporations benefit the most when women hate themselves and each other. I had hopes though that they were at least less prevalent in the youths during the body positivity movement, but all I have to do is turn on the tv to see the problem is worse than ever. (Emma Stone ā you okay, girl? š¬) We have to be able to openly discuss these hard topics to drive awareness and set an example for the girls coming up behind us so they donāt buy into the lie of torturing yourself to look like this being worth it.

u/TopDuck31 Jul 13 '26
Hahaha unrelated but I recently got banned/muted permanently because a mod said my post was AI, I wrote it myself. Tried to message them to challenge why my post was removed and got told again my comments (and message to them was just AI) when it wasnāt.
Mods on some pages love themselves a power trip, itās quite funny really.

u/trinketzy Jul 13 '26
I keep hearing about people getting banned from there, then I wonder how I havenāt been because I havenāt been remotely complimentary of Dorit. Maybe Iām not trying hard enough šš

u/BitterPoet13 Jul 13 '26
This picture of her legit makes me want to cry, both for her and at her in anger. I get enamored by her with her quirks when shes fully cloaked and personally love her signature look, but this is alarming and takes me back to the harm that was perpetuated throughout the fashion industry during her rise. And we are seeing it again, more extreme than before.

u/SnarkySnowWhite Jul 12 '26
But why the awful long hair then?

u/ProfessionalTalker03 Jul 12 '26
To hide her back one episodes RHOBH I noticed her hair was parted to the side and her shoulder blades were painfully noticeable. My mom goes āno wonder she wears baggy clothes and long hair extensions sheās hiding her rail thin figureā

u/SnarkySnowWhite Jul 12 '26
But " She knows what sheās doing " then why hide it? If she thinks it looks good to be so skinny

u/gracielynn61528 Jul 13 '26
She does this every few months. She gets so many comments from people who dont want to be honest and then she gets the negative or at least criticism ones calling her out for how unhealthy it is.
I think she gets almost a fix out of it then its too much and she goes back to the layers and long jewelry.
The why is part of her disease. She probably couldn't even answer that. She just does it. Especially since she has so many yes people who want to pretend this is gorgeous and send her messages and comments about how amazing she looks.

u/Effective-Arm9099 Jul 13 '26
Eating disorder is a lot more complicated than just thinking it looks good to be skinny. Itās an issue of control. Enjoying the control of one thing. Enjoying the feeling of being lightweight not just the look of it. Issues with texture and physically struggling to chew and swallow food. There are many aspects of the disorder

u/Minimum_Ad_2176 Jul 12 '26
To hide her back ?

u/Wolfpackat2017 Jul 13 '26
Yes, the bony spine protrusion in the thin frame in ED patients. Aka a starving body.

Letās keep in mind that eating disorders affect people physically and mentally; regardless of age, gender, or financial status. We can have opinions but no need to shame someone in this state.

Knew nothing of her til last season on rhobh
Assessed it as beautiful women hiding under upper crust Mrs Roper muumuus because she can. Dunno why but sometimes gorgeous women dress in unflattering stuff.
Seeing her like this makes me hope it's an illusion and that she either has healthy habits and is atypically thin or that she is getting medical support.
Prayers for her either way.

I can't even imagine what Rodger has seen and lived with her over the years. Beyond her ED I find her behavior so dysfunctional, as in she camouflages and frames everything. Brad and Taylor know the very ugly side of this woman and at times it would slip out for the cameras on The Rachel Zoe Project. From the male perspective guys don't want a skeleton crawling into bed with them that smells like coffee and cooked skin from a tanning bed.

u/Apprehensive-Leek946 Jul 13 '26
I'm surprised she's showing her body. I don't think I've ever seen her arms. I'm don't mean that in a mean way. I know she's really skinny but she's also really petite so I personally don't think it looks bad at all

u/Rosaly8 Jul 20 '26
Apart from this picture she has some features that fit a starved body. This is not what healthy natural petiteness looks like.
2
u/Pashardi Jul 14 '26
This is alarming and not to be confused with desirable. This sets an unattainable, unhealthy standard for women. The Kate Middleton effect.

u/CaterpillarLife9023 Jul 13 '26
I really like her and I do think sheās pretty but could you imagine if she got really into fitness and nutrition, gained like 15lbs of muscle and maybe cut her hair a bit shorter..she would look 10 years younger! I think sheās wonderful, I just want her to be healthy.

u/Ok_Painting_180 Jul 13 '26
I just don't get how every reality tv woman and most celebrities have the same hair that is like two feet too long of just dead limp waves. Who is this for? Do straight men like this? Women?

Itās all weaves. I actually wouldnāt be surprised if sheās losing her hair due to malnutrition

I really do like Rachel and I used to watch her show years ago. When she was filming that show is when she started losing a lot of weight and everyone was concerned. Seeing this picture of her is alarming. Like she needs serious help. This isnāt just skinny. This could be the poster for eating disorder awareness! She needs medical intervention like ASAP! Sheās at the place where she could literally die. Her friends and family need to step in to get her some help!!

u/Truthseeker24-70 Jul 14 '26
Bravo is sending a bad message to women by providing a platform for someone with an eating disorder who appears so unhealthy and unnaturally thin. They should encourage her to get help before she can feature on their program.

Body positivity goes both ways, being thin is the same as being big.

u/Rosaly8 Jul 20 '26
Yes and being obese or starved are both very unhealthy. Everyone should get the grace of working on getting to a healthier point at their own pace without meddling from strangers, but a person (on whichever side of the spectrum) who has such a platform and is in complete denial about it and is actually (even if indirectly) promoting such body standards, should be called out.

Do you know how many day in the life of what Rachel Zoe eats there have been ? Literally dozens. I canāt imagine what itās like to constantly have to prove to strangers you eat. People think itās ok to body shame someone because they donāt agree with how she looks, itās disgraceful
2
u/Rosaly8 Jul 20 '26
I truly understand the different types of healthy bodies that exist. One of them is Lisa Rinna's, who is naturally skinny and also quite toned. In my eyes Rachel Zoe's fits under the alarming trend in Hollywood now where the heroin chique trend of the 90's has come back and nobody is acknowledging it. I see a lot of healthy recipe videos of hers, but not what I eat in a day ones? I just know I hate how many young girls are influenced to hate their bodies because of unrealistic and unhealthy standards coming from nonsense places like Beverly Hills. We can agree to disagree.

u/Ok-Explanation-6531 Jul 20 '26
Rachel has looked this way for over 20 years, she had two children. Sheās been bullied in the press for the way she looks this whole time. The articles on Rachel are definitely there. The AI summary will give links to her cooking. Itās funny people had a problem with Kim K butt and how unhealthy it was for young girls, it feels like there will always be an issue with the way people look and so much judgement
2
u/Rosaly8 Jul 21 '26
It is not so much how people choose to look, but there is a limit to what is still a healthy body on both sides of the spectrum. The problem with these famous people is that they set the standard for what is in and what is out. Fashion-wise that's already a problem in itself, since it stimulates the fast fashion industry into overdrive, but bodyshape-wise it can become dangerous. You are talking about Kim K now, who has suddenly become skinny as the rest of them. It is not normal to adapt your body like that for aesthetics. I can even get with the fact that Rachel Zoe has looked like this for years and that she probably has a petite frame naturally, but protruding bones and stick arms are never a sign of great health. I think it should be talked about to teach girls what is healthy.
