Aussie actress Portia de Rossi is putting pen to paper and is writing a book which will address, among other things, her battle with an eating disorder and her marriage to Emmy-winning American Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres.
“I’m writing a book. It’ll be published in the fall, so… I have to be done with it before then. It will deal with all the secrets that nearly killed me. Nobody can really get inside the anorexic’s mind like the anorexic,” she told The Advocate Magazine. “It will deal with all the secrets that nearly killed me….Nobody can really get inside the anorexic’s mind like the anorexic. I abused my body. I had bulimia. I would use (US diet drug) fen-phen. I wanted to talk about all that.”
De Rossi, born Amanda Lee Rogers, explains that the memoir — due later this year — will discuss the public “outing” of her sexual orientation while she starred on the hit FOX sitcom Ally McBeal.
