Donetella's daugther receives treatment for Anorexia


"Our daughter, Allegra, has been battling anorexia, a very serious disease, for many years,” Versace and Paul Beck said in a statement released by spokesman Robert Zimmerman.

“She is receiving the best medical care possible to help overcome this illness and is responding well. As parents, we are doing our best to protect our daughter. However, due to numerous media reports, we want to let everyone know that we appreciate their concern for Allegra, and we ask that her privacy be respected at this time.”

This is what happens when your mother is Donetella FUCKING Versace! I'm not saying it's completely her fault. Obviously not everyone who grows up in the fashion biz becomes a friend of 'Anna'. I mean look at Margherita Missoni. She grew up in the same environment as Allegra, yet has so far managed to avoid entering any type of treatment centre. However the fact that this is an achievement, for the child of a celebrity, certainly says something about how fucked up their world's are. I mean besides the backstage scenes, full of bony models with empty stomachs and even emptier minds, imagine living in Casa de Versace? Picture little Allegra, eating her breakfast in the palatial kitchen as a wigless Donetella stumbles in, ciggie in mouth, lips seeping collagen, eyes blazing red, white residue caked in her nose creases- 'Darrrrling, moommy, has a terrible headache. Be a pooossum and rub my feeeeet while I scream at the fridge.' That's enough to turn anyone off their food!
