Fans of Desperate Housewives will definitely remember plump Juanita, Eva Longoria's on-screen daughter. At the time of filming the series, the young actress Madison De La Garza was seven years old. And fame did not come easy for the girl. After all, she had not only many fans, but also haters.
And the haters did not mince words when commenting on the appearance of the little girl. First of all, of course, they criticized the girl's figure. This could not help but offend her. At some point, Garza even began to starve herself to lose weight. As a result, she developed an eating disorder.
