A scary moment last night when Amber Riley of Glee collapsed on the red carpet prior to a screening of the show for Emmy members. She had just walked the red carpet when she suddenly collapsed. She later Tweeted that she collapsed because of all the flashbulbs. I feel like she collapsed because she has been starving herself for the past few weeks ever since comments were made about her weight. She got where she is with the body type she is so she shouldn't have to conform to some ideal that can never be reached. I'm glad she is ok.

ReplyDeleteShe shouldn't have to conform, but if she wants her star to rise higher, she'll be told to.
ReplyDeleteShe needs a grammar coach, though.
Yeah we can expect a People cover in a few months about her amazing diet plan.
ReplyDeleteShe's probably picking up bad habits from Lea. I wish women, especially young women, in Hollywood would focus more on their craft and a lot less on fitting into sample size designer clothes on loan for a weekend. Then they complain about not getting cast (b/c they can't act) and convince themselves it's b/c they have to lose even more weight. Ugh! So frustrating!
ReplyDeleteShe has lost a lot of weight. I have a feeling you are right Enty. She's not doing it the healthy way. I hope she's alright.
ReplyDeleteI hope it isn't due to not eating, but I am sure it is hard to not be emaciated if you are a young actress. However, there are lots of reasons someone might faint besides hunger. Maybe she stood up too fast from getting out of her car. Then the flashes from all the cameras really could have exacerbated that headrush and caused her to faint.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself Amber. You are gorgeous just the way you are!
ReplyDeleteWhy do we have to become thin before the world will show us love? That's what I'd like to know.
ReplyDeleteFlashes going off create a strobe light effect and can (and regularly do) trigger seizures. Hopefully she'll see a doctor, to rule out seizure disorder.
ReplyDeleteI think she's using an iPhone. My stupid phone always changes "so" to "do." Drives me up the wall.
ReplyDeleteIf she wants to lose weight, good for her. It's a healthier choice. Hopefully she's doing it in a healthy way but maybe not. I know I high-five myself if I skip a meal and I never eat breakfast. It's bad, makes my husband mad but it's what I do.
She probably collapsed because she had worked a 14 hour day and then had to go do promo afterwards. It's happened to me and I wasn't starving or dieting, I had just been really busy at work that day, hadn't eaten much, was probably a little dehydrated and got a bit light headed. I don't see drastic weight loss in Amber, I don't think she is starving herself at all. They are cramming in the last days of taping and recording for the season, they are one of the few shows still shooting right now. I'm sure she'll be okay.
ReplyDeleteHope she is okay, a truly gifted young woman!
ReplyDeleteStarving isn't the way, I've seen too many friends do this your body needs fuel.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I doubt the flashes did it... that seems rather far fetched, if it hasnt been a problem before. I hope she stays safe, I think she is great on the show.
ReplyDeleteanita_mark, actually, it's incredibly unhealthy to lose weight quickly. Trying to lose weight in and of itself is not smart. Eating healthily and exercising more should be the goal, not weight loss. Starvation can cause permanent damage to your body, and in the long run leads to even more weight gain.
ReplyDeleteI noticed on last night's show she looks like she has lost weight. I love her voice and always have liked her on Glee--hope she's ok.
ReplyDeleteBlood pressure meds, or untreated high blood pressure for that matter, can make one dizzy. Believe me, I know. This is not at ALL a jab at Amber's weight, but it's quite likely that she COULD have BP issues. Throw in the strobe-light effects of flashbulbs and who knows?
ReplyDelete@FS Glee wrapped recording and filmig like a week ago IIRC
ReplyDeleteIt's tough being human. Human things happen to all humans. I'm glad she's ok, and I'm glad the photogs didn't go crazy taking photos of her on the ground. She seems cool and down to earth...at least, so far.
ReplyDeleteDiabetes can cause it too....a quick blood sugar drop.
ReplyDeletebet it's the HCG diet,aka The Controlled Anorexia Diet.
ReplyDeleteif you're on it, get off fast unless being skinny is worth your immune system.
I did one round of HCG. Best thing I ever did. It showed me how addicted I truly am to sugar, and I've been able to change my eating habits. I did this a year ago. Lost 30 lbs during the diet, an additional 20 in the 6 months following. I've maintained for a year & I've never been more healthy.
Delete@Mooshki, I know. ***hangs head***
ReplyDeleteWhen I skip a meal, I get so hungry and then I make bad food choices so it's a really stupid cycle.
Cinephreak, a few of them have commented on twitter that they are still filming this week.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor works out and did the HCG and it helped her tremendously... I'm hesitant to do it, but I've 30 lbs in the past 4 months just cutting back on junk!

ReplyDeleteeveryone starves themselves to fit into a red carpet gown. I'm surprised more don't faint. I'd do it too bc those pics last forever and can make a career!
