Kristin Davis Reveals Weight Pressure, Faints on Set

In recent interviews, Kristin Davis reflected on her time as Brooke Armstrong on 'Melrose Place,' revealing the immense pressure she faced to maintain a certain weight. She recounted a conversation with co-star Thomas Calabro, who informed her that producers were concerned about her weight, telling her, 'Just don’t gain any weight.' This pressure led Davis to overexercise and restrict her food intake, ultimately causing her to faint from exhaustion. She described feeling light-headed and sometimes even forgetting her name due to the stress of trying to meet unrealistic beauty standards on set. Davis highlighted that such weight-related discussions were commonplace in the 1990s, noting the overwhelming presence of 'gorgeous and super skinny' co-stars. Her experiences reflect a broader issue within the entertainment industry regarding body image and health.
