The Producers Decided: Jessica Stroup and Shenae Grimes Are Too Thin
Us Weekly runs a story on the incredibly tiny Beverly Hills duo, Jessica Stroup and Shenae Grimes. Here is what they have to say about the skinniest girls on TV:
Beverly Hills, 90210 stars are so thin that show producers and costars are poised to take action, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue, on newsstands now.
“They want the girls to gain weight,” a show source tells Us. “They are trying too hard to be skinny, and it’s started to wear on them. It’s just not healthy.” Stroup, 21, is 5-foot-8 but weighs 100 to 105 pounds while Grimes, 18, is 5-foot-3 and stands at a mere 90 pounds, Beverly Hills-based weight-management expert Dr. Joyce Peters estimates to Us.
“I’ve never seen Jessica or Shenae eat,” another show source tells Us. So shocking is the situation that their 90210 male costars are contemplating an intervention. “I heard some of the boys on the show are going to sit down with the girls and talk to them,” an additional show source tells Us. “The girls were all skinny when they started, but they’re definitely thinner now,” the source adds.
So, that would be a BMI of 15.9 for Shenae and a Bmi of 15.2 - 16 for Jessica, as in severly underweight. With the hope that we won’t receive “OMG, how great they look!” comments, let’s hear your thoughts!

They do not look great! Jessica looks worse though. I do not find either of these girls attractive, nor do men. Hope none of you find these girls healthy.

they look too thin. they look unhealthy, and its actually frightening. they’re beautiful girls and i hope they’re taking care of themselves. honestly-if they gained 5-10 pounds each it would make a world of difference.

They look horrible. I think Jessica looks the worse. I can’t even believe how they themselves would think that this is a good look.
I think that without the makeup they looks painly sick.

People should stop saying these chicks look “unhealthy” because unfortunately girls obsessed with their weight don’t care about being healthy. The only thing that matters to them is being fit / skinny / tiny…..
I know it’s sad, but we should highlight how much their effort to be perfect is making them ugly instead…… for I believe Anya resumed it perfectly by using words like “horrible” and “the worse”.

I watched this show for the first time last night. I couldn’t believe how painfully thin these girls were. Not attractive! They don’t look attractive - just like a bag of bones. Egh.

so that’s why in America european S size in mean XS,you people have very diferent perception about being healty and skinny. here,in Europe girls like this are just thin,sexy and classy. size 8 UK is mean size 4 in US,for God sake!!
why on earth someone will need extra weight to carry? and why fat girls are never called ‘unhealty’,they’re just called ‘big’ or ‘curvies’,is the fat excces a healty thing in US? is is celulite a sign of beauthy there?? does enyone know what damage of the body make being that FAT? or the political corectness crap has gone that far?

Kimi,
I don’t know in what European Country you live…… I live between France, Spain and Italy, and I can assure you girls so underweight are definitely NOT perceived as classy nor sexy….. Men definitely prefer some meat on a woman’s body (Mediterranean girls are EXTREMELY successful here, sigh!)
Did you know in Spain they forbid models to get on the catwalk if they are too underweight?
Anorexia is a serious problem among teenagers and young women and I know very very well what I’m talking about because I nearly died because of it.
I’m not saying that cellulite and fat rolls have to be the rule, people are just lacking some kind of discernment….. and to me a bag of bones is so ugly.

They both look gorgeous an neither of them is too thin. They look radiant, healthy and extremely attractive. Why would either of them want to become an ugly fat girl? They’re skinny, sexy and incredibly beautiful just the way they are.

Exactly Kimi. I totally agree with everything you say. As for the clothing size thing, being thin myself it’s frustrating that a US 00 is too large. Why can’t we just get uniform sizes in Europe and in the US so that an XS here would actually be EXTRA SMALL.
And WizardElements I couldn’t say it better. Really, thay both look super thin and fit and beautiful. Leave them alone.

[...] seen Shenae looking very skinny at recent events (click here to see), yet I’m not spotting the scary skinny, unhealthy figure on this occasion. Tiny, yes. [...]

they look like some girls i’ve seen walking on the street. sure, gaining a few pounds will not hurt them, but we need to understand that nothings wrong with them. theyre skinny girls. we need to realize that women come in differnt sizes and shapes. before, it was all abotu being thin and fit, now its about being curvy and voluptious. we need to stop setting up trends and “healthy” body types. so what theyre skinny? so are half the girls in america.

they shouldn’t be exploited like this. if the producers/directors whoever of the show thought they were too skinny, they should of done it a better and confidential way. imagine how they feel right now? yeah its a wake up call, but theres a way to do things. thats my opinion.
