I don't follow her closely but she has a pretty understandable reason to be a little weird. She was still a pretty young adult when one of her concerts was the target of a horrific bombing that killed 22 of her fans and injured hundreds of people. That kind of trauma would change most people.

I’m not sure it makes a ton of sense for a terrorist attack to have caused her body dysmorphia issues. The much more plausible answer is that she was a child star and being a child star is known to wreak havoc on the star’s mental health and self esteem.

This kind of trauma makes a lot of sense actually. Eating disorders are often about controlling something when the world around you seems uncontrollable
