Heather Morris is opening up about her eating disorder, and how her late 'Glee' co-star, Naya Rivera, came to her aid.
podcast Thursday, hosted by her former co-stars Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale, Morris recalled a particular occasion in which Rivera followed her into her dressing room to confront her.
"I had developed an eating disorder. I stopped getting my period. I was so in my head about food and what it was doing for me," Morris shared, noting that things escalated when the success of the Fox musical comedy led to a concert tour in 2010. While she didn't specify her eating order, Morris said that she would often look at the food being served to her cast on tour but not eat -- something Rivera noticed.
"I can't remember exactly what she was saying, but she was approaching me about my eating disorder because I know she herself had eating disorders, and she was very open about it in her book. So, she of course was the first to speak up about it," Morris shared. While she admitted she later realized that Rivera had good intentions, Morris said she blew "it off" at the time, telling Rivera that she was OK, and never spoke about her eating disorder with her co-star ever again.
