This WNDU article explains why she left.

Click on The Players' Tribune in the article and you can read her statement




She specifically uses the words "depression" and "anxiety"

Did you read the article from Bleacher Report that is being discussed? Here are two quotes:

"That anxiety that I had around having to make a certain weight and look a certain way…"

"I feel that anxiety and depression again every time I'm on that campus"

Here is one more:

"I felt like a burden to the teachers. I lost my appetite, and I would do extra workouts just to feel the pain. We weighed in once a week, and because I wasn't eating, I was always underweight."

That does not sound like the behavior of someone who was well and happy.


Why blame it on ND? *
