Madison De La Garza, who started on “Desperate Housewives” at six years old and stayed for four seasons, says “horrible” online comments about her weight resulted in her trying to starve herself.
"I think most of what I've learned from her I've just watched through her experience and what she's done," the"Bad Teacher" star said of her big sister."She obviously gives me a lot of great sister advice, but I think it's more powerful to see her in action and especially seeing her tell her story.
She added,"I think her honesty, her bravery and being 100% honest and open and being an open book, I think that is what drives me." De La Garza said she now gets to be"that example for other people, and I could not be happier. I'm grateful for that."Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration National Helpline (
