Katie Couric had bulimia in college
Former NBC “TODAY” Show correspondent Katie Couric returned to morning television on April 2, 2012, taking on hosting duties for rival ABC’s “Good Morning America” for a week.
Katie Couric is making news of her own on her new talk show.
Couric admitted Monday on "Katie" that she struggled with bulimia while a student at the University of Virginia, the New York Daily News reported.
“I wrestled with bulimia all through college and for two years after that," Couric said. "And I know this rigidity, this feeling that if you eat one thing that’s wrong, you’re full of self-loathing and then you punish yourself, whether it’s one cookie or a stick of gum that isn’t sugarless, that I would sometimes beat myself up for that."
ABC News reported Couric made the comments during an interview with singer Demi Lovato, who also battled eating disorders.
