Stephanie Pratt admits she was once bulimic. Shortly after joining The Hills cast back in 2007, Stephanie felt monostrously huge next to co-stars Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge and Heidi Montag. She tells Us Weekly that feeling fat next to the other girls caused her to spiral into an eating disorder.

Stephanie graces the cover of Us Weekly and if headlines are to be believed, also tried to kill herself at some point. Wow. Those Pratt kids. What went wrong? Anyway, she tells the magazine:

“The 5-foot-7 23-year-old reveals she began bingeing and purging after watching a scene she shot with Lauren Conrad in 2007 after first joining the cast: “I was horrified. I remember saying, ‘I can’t believe how huge I look walking over to Lauren.’”nother time, when filming in Hawaii in bikinis, the size 0-2 Pratt –- in a bikini and cover-up — asked costar Audrina Patridge, “What looks better, ‘shirt on or off?’” Patridge said ‘On.’” Says Pratt, “The producers never put pressure on us to lose weight,” but adds, “It’s embarrassing working with skinny girls.”

We never thought Stephanie looked fat, per say. Truthfully, Audrina looks like most of her body weight is in the chest region, so we’d take Stephanie‘s physique over hers any day of the week.
