Shenae Grimes: ‘Sorry … but this is who I am’
Looks like Silver isn’t the only 90210 gal who blogs.
Shenae Grimes, who stars as Annie Wilson on the show, recently updated her MySpace blog to defend her image.
“Now, as you all know now probably, I graced my first major magazine cover, only to be called ‘too skinny’ alongside my co-star Jessica Stroup,” she wrote.
“I would like to say once again that neither me or Jessica have issues with our weight or bodies. I happened to be very small built, and ive always been skinny. So I personally think that people need to stop criticizing everyone in the media these days about their issues.
“Im sure you wouldnt like it if someone pointed out all of your flaws and all of your mistakes… but thats what the media does to us.”
It doesn’t end there. TMZ and Perez Hilton have both criticized the 18-year-old’s smoking habit. Both posted pictures of the Canadian actress lighting up while holding a bag full of cigarette packages.
“I cant say that im proud of it, but there are so many people struggling with addiction nowadays,” she continued.
“I started smoking at about 16, and 1 in 5 teenagers smoke.
“Im not going to really go into the issue, but my hope is that you will all just stop hating and get on with it. I smoke. My choice. Im sorry if you dont like it, but this is who I am.”
