Dr. Drew Pinsky's Daughter Paulina Speaks Out About Her Eating Disorder

“Paulina Pinsky, the daughter of Dr. Drew Pinsky, tells PEOPLE that her recent disclosure about her years-long battle with anorexia and bulimia has caused the public to unfairly lash out against her mother.

“This is no one person s fault. This was the product of a lot of different pressures,” Paulina, 21, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
