Wilson Phillips star Carnie Wilson sacked as diet spokesmodel
Carnie Wilson has been fired! The Wilson Phillips star — who once weighed a whopping 300 pounds and famously underwent gastric bypass surgery in 1999 — has been axed as the spokesmodel for healthy food service The Fresh Diet amid allegations she cheated on the eating plan while promoting her own range of cheesecakes.
“Carnie was promoting her cheesecakes while she was supposed to be only eating our three meals and two snacks a day,” Ezzy Duchman, publicist for The Fresh Diet, told America’s Star magazine.
“We had to take her off the corporate website because she has not been a successful case. She didn’t stick to it, and she didn’t lose weight. We had to cut ties with her.”
Carnie has previously revealed she managed to lose weight by cooking for her reality TV pals Bobby Brown and Maureen McCormick on Outsiders Inn.
“I just wanted to feed people. I got to cook every day, and that brings me a lot of comfort,” she said back in 2008.
“I’ve been really changing how I eat. It’s great. I cooked really fattening food on the show but I lost 11 pounds while we did it.
“I cooked for everybody on the set every day. I’d wake up early and bake and then I wouldn’t be eating the food. I would eat and spit, taste and spit.
“Then I made my tofu. We were cooking healthy. I was doing a bunch of dishes at the same time. I made my vegetables.”
