Australia's Miss Universe Contestant Anorexic or Just Skinny?
With supporters claiming it to be her "Macedonian body type", Australia's Miss Universe contestant Stephanie Naumoska threw contest officials and the entire pageant into an uproar when she hit the stage on Thursday. Doctors and dieticians declared her malnourished and suspect of having an eating disorder.
Standing at 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 108 pounds, it would be hard not to agree. Doctors also found that Naumoska's body mass index is just 15.1. That is just under the malnutrition level, which is 18.
I don't know what the Macedonian body type is, but it certainly can't be that gaunt! The thing is, she's a pretty girl, but with the obvious weight deficiency, I'm surprised she made it that far. The contest is also about promoting a normal, healthy body type, and that sure ain't it!
Stephanie ended up being edged out for the win by Rachael Finch of Townsville. Even so, she will not soon be forgotten like most contestants!
