Lily Collins is continuing to speak openly about her past battle with eating disorders, describing her recovery journey as ongoing while acknowledging that sharing her experience publicly has been both frightening and meaningful.

The Emily in Paris star, 36, marked Eating Disorder Awareness Week with a reflective Instagram post in which she highlighted the importance of awareness and support for those struggling. Collins praised the work of the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), describing the organization as doing "lifesaving work."

"I want to take a moment to acknowledge Eating Disorder Awareness Week," she wrote, emphasizing her long-standing commitment to encouraging open conversations around the issue.

Collins first spoke publicly about her experience after portraying a young woman living with an eating disorder in the 2017 film To the Bone. She later expanded on her personal journey in her essay collection Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, where she revealed that her struggles with anorexia and bulimia began at age 16 following the divorce of her father, Phil Collins, from her stepmother.

Reflecting on that difficult period, Collins previously wrote that she "couldn't handle the pain and confusion" surrounding the family split while also trying to balance teenage life with demanding modelling and acting careers that placed heavy emphasis on her appearance. She admitted that eating eventually became "a chore and a punishment," adding, "My plan was working! I was in control! I was skinny!"

Zara Larsson is making it clear that there are certain artists she chooses not to support with her streams.

In a recent appearance on Cosmopolitan's Cheap Shots series, which aired Tuesday, Feb. 24, the "Lush Life" singer spoke candidly about her music preferences. When asked to name an artist who would never appear on one of her playlists, Larsson did not hesitate. She revealed that she has blocked several artists on Spotify, explaining that they are people she considers abusers.

"You certainly wouldn't find a Chris Brown song," she said directly.

Chris Brown has faced multiple legal issues over the years. In 2009, he pleaded guilty to a felony after physically assaulting then girlfriend Rihanna. In 2014, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault related to a 2013 altercation in Washington, D.C. In addition, his former girlfriend Karrueche Tran was granted a five year restraining order against him in 2017 after a turbulent relationship.

Larsson has voiced her criticism of Brown before. In a 2016 interview styled like a Tinder inspired game, she rejected his song "Hotel," a collaboration with Kid Ink. At the time, she acknowledged that while she believed he was talented as a singer and dancer, she did not view him as a good person.
