Troian Bellisario Talks Personal Struggle with Anorexia

Troian Bellisario, Spencer on PLL, recently talked about her struggle with anorexia. “With anorexia, a lot of it is about presenting a front of everything is okay, as you’re slowly killing yourself. Gone were the days where I was just a happy, carefree kid who was running around and suddenly I felt this inability to interact with people and to nourish myself” Troian explained in this PSA video.
