The threat of a hospital stay prompted actress Christina Ricci to fight her anorexia issues as a teen.
The star was just 16 when doctors and her parents urged her to consider a drastic cure for her eating disorder - but Ricci wasn't happy about the idea of being strapped to a bed for weeks.
She tells Black Book magazine, "They were going to hospitalize me, and I was worried about people force-feeding me through a tube. I didn't want that, so I fought the disease."
Ricci won her battle and now insists she'll never go back to starving herself to stay thin: "I still think about it, but I could never do it again. I remember the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness when I was in the middle of it. My brain had basically become my biggest tormentor. I'd become afraid of myself."
And she'll never forgive the unnamed Hollywood producer who revealed all about her private battle with anorexia.
The Sleepy Hollow star adds, "I was outed in a magazine article when I was, like, 17, even though I'd been in recovery for about a year.
"The interviewer talked to a producer, who, being a total jerk, said I wasn't eating on set.
"I think that was the thing that caused me to be ridiculously open about everything, or like someone was holding something over me."
