“I would just spend a crazy amount of time reading through these comments, and most all of them were just atrocious,” the actress recalled on a podcast.

De La Garza, now 21, said the cruel comments “definitely affected [her] mental health and ultimately played into [her] developing an eating disorder at a very young age.”madisondelagarza/Instagram

De La Garza joined the hit ABC series in Season 4 as Juanita Solis, the adoptive daughter of Eva Longoria’s Gabrielle Solis and her husband, Carlos Solis . The child star shared that she knew Longoria understood her pain while filming the mystery drama and even “went out of her way” to make her feel better.

“The whole joke of my character was that Eva was this thin, beautiful model and her daughter turned out to be quite the opposite. And so I think she was very aware that this was going to affect me,” De La Garza said, noting that they “never explicitly discussed it.”“[Longoria] definitely went out of her way to make me feel like I was pretty and like I was special, and she made me feel like I was family,” she added.
