The weight loss drama started when the husband of Whitney Eve fashion line founder Tim Rosenman expressed concern about her weight and said he would find her more attractive if she gained 10 to 15 pounds.
Following the backlash surrounding his comments, the television producer joined his wife on an episode of her With Whit podcast to clarify, with the couple claiming his comments had been blown “out of proportion.”
While he realized that she was in good health, based on the results of her blood tests that he had seen, Tim was concerned that “(Whitney) had kind of a strained relationship with food that kept him out of the public eye.”
Highlighting growing concerns about her weight loss, the British and Irish Next Top Model host revealed in a newer episode of her podcast that she had visited a nutritionist.
Whitney explained that it felt “affirming” that the nutritionist agreed with her that she did not have an eating disorder and elaborated on the nutritionist’s detailed prognosis.
According to the Almost Royal star, the nutritionist believed she was showing symptoms of “disordered eating” due to “neurovegetative depression.”
The Hills: New Beginnings star agreed with the diagnosis, adding, “I think it’s just all these underlying things that have slowly chipped away at self-confidence and added a little bit of what (runs in my family).” .
She continued, “I think this is affecting my weight and my food intake.”
The Previously on the Screviously co-host also blamed her “ruptured esophagus” (a result of an illness) from keeping her weight back.

Although Whitney has dedicated herself to gaining weight in a healthy way, according to comments she made on her podcast, she hit back at Instagram followers who continued to comment on her body.
“I’m so done with this conversation about my body being carried without me,” she wrote after someone commented on her weight in a little black dress she wore to New York Fashion Week.
She added, “If I post certain photos, it’s because I think the shot was cool. I knew my legs looked skinny on that pole, but I also knew it was an angle.”
Fed up, the former reality TV personality kept clapping back with, “Why do I even have to justify this? Instagram has always been a supportive place for me, but the amount of comments about my body is frustrating.”
