out to public with her partner. How the photographs were leaked is still a
mystery.

stand and used those photos as a way of revealing her identity to public. She

point. She came out as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian">Lesbian</a> in 2005 and the couple got married in
2008. After marriage, name was changed to <a href="/biography/portia-de-rossi">Portia Lee James DeGeneres</a>. 
‘Unbearable lightness’
which is a book about de Roxi’s unscientific approach to weight loss is a huge
seller. Her notes on the book are honest as any model can relate to it. She
clearly describes how she always felt overweight when she touched her fat on
the belly. Her mother being ignorant about the dieting and its harmful effects

she ate, de Rossi vomited in the bathroom so that she could stay thin. Some of

events in the book. She also said that through this book, she would like to put

survive in the industry. This is a must read book for models and those who wish
