Retired beauty queen and makeup artist, Royat Assaf, Warns against the thin trend that has recently returned to grab headlines. All of this is making headlines following an item we published on Bar Refaeli, For receiving sharp criticism that it encourages eating disorders, and following the reaction of Judith Bowman to our publications, who turned to Bar Refaeli and asked her to educate her children about more important things in life. Now Royat Assaf enters the picture and warns.
The retired beauty queen appeals to mothers and begs them to keep a close eye on their daughters. “There is a thinness that is legitimate and genetic and there is a thinness that is destructive, that we turn our lives upside down and lose all human image,” Assaf said and shared about her modeling career in the nineties, in which she was asked by the agency in Spain to shed five kilograms of her weight, but decided that it was wrong and unhealthy for her and therefore Stopped it.
“I managed to stop it, but our childhoods usually don’t stop it,” she said and added an appeal to mothers: “I’m begging you mothers, pay attention to what’s happening at home. If your girl looks in the mirror all day or suddenly she doesn’t eat all day because she goes to the beach at noon or wants to buy a size small jeans. I also have a teenage girl at home and it’s the friends and environment. I accompany anorexic girls and I am in hospital wards, I see what happens there, it hurts my heart.”
