Jessica Simpson Visits Anorexic Model Isabelle Caro

During her recent guesting on Oprah, Jessica Simpson shares a video clip of her visit to Paris to meet Isabelle Caro, a former model who suffered a severe case of anorexia.

Isabelle Caro has made headlines when she posed nude at 62 pounds for an anti-anorexia billboard.


Along with her friends Ken Paves and CaCee Cobb, Jessica Simpson listens to Isabelle Caro as she tells her story in French. Then the interpreter shares:

"There was the fashion designer who told her you need to lose ten kilos if you want to be in the fashion world. She really decided to stop eating and to lose weight. So that's how she ended up being an anorexic. Three years ago she was in a coma. The doctor said that there was no hope left, but she survived. And after that, she decided that she had to start eating, little by little... And now Isabelle is trying to pass a law in Parliament which says that you can't model when you're too skinny."

Brought to tears by her story, Jessica Simpson tells the brave Isabelle Caro, "To us, what you're doing right now makes you one of the most beautiful people that we have ever seen."

After watching the clip, a teary-eyed Jessica Simpson tells Oprah Winfrey:

"It makes me very emotional because just the pressure that women feel to be thin or to be beautiful - the pressure that the media puts on women - is so unfair and so disgusting."
