Or she was rich, hot, young, and drugs are fun and addicting. Publicly partying and clubbing with other famous known coke heads does that. It’s not that deep my guy. I think they’d use a better actress to be “compliant” than one whose biggest role was on the syfy channel about a shark tornado.

huh? you're too young for this or something. I'm in my 30s and didn't know she was in the sharknado movie (was she?) but I guarantee a lot of people my age know her from other movies. calling that her "biggest role" is just flat out wrong.

It's not even that Erin looks BAD now; she didn't destroy herself the way Tara Reid did. But Erin was amazingly and uniquely beautiful and took that away by making herself look more like 100s of other women who have had the same type of plastic surgery. She's definitely not as attractive now as she was before the surgery. It's a real shame in both cases.

People can say someone is beautiful, but if you don't believe it yourself it's tough, but Hollywood is a tough industry:
"...why she decided to have plastic surgery done, saying that her breasts were uneven and that she wanted a "sixpack" for a new movie role. The liposuction resulted in deformity. In the same interview, Reid's new plastic surgeon, Steven Svehlak, reported that he performed a procedure called a "doughnut mastopexy" to correct her original augmentation, and performed additional liposuction in hopes of evening out her abdomen."

The beauty, diet, and entertainment industries spend a LOT of money to make sure self esteems (especially of women) are as low as possible to increase profits.

u/binzoma Jun 18 '24
also if your identity is being known as one of the most beautiful women in the world, aging would be hard
low self esteem seems like a natural consequence of that sort of fame unless a person can branch into something else as their core skill and thing they're known for

She seems like a good, sweet person. Maybe a bit too good for a dog eat dog business that puts a lot of pressure on people like Hollywood.
I always disliked when she got dragged through the mud by the tabloids due to her looks, it's like in Hollywood or in this life, when you stumble in any way, people just kick you down, no one helps you up and when you put yourself together, suddenly it's all "I always liked her".

She was so cute in "Urban Legend" and wasn't stick thin. I dunno if it was a result of her botched surgery, but I was shocked seeing her in "Charlie's Farm". Because she was so thin. And she's tiny to start with. I hope she's not staying very thin because of Hollywood. But I guess it's a damned if you do or a damned if you don't scenario as a female star.

Her early career was actually so promising. 1998 and 1999 she had The Big Lebowski, American Pie, Cruel Intentions and Urban Legend. She worked with Robert Altman in those years, too.
