A teenager whose mother wrote a viral article about putting her on a diet at age 7 has spoken out, saying her confidence is a "constant struggle".
Betty Kovy-Weiss, now 17, was flung into internet fame after her mother, Dara-Lynn Weiss, wrote a feature for US Vogue about putting her then 8-year-old daughter on a restrictive diet the previous year, she told the Telegraph in a new interview.
The article sparked immediate and fierce backlash from other parents who called her a "narcissist" and accused her of "embarrassing" her child by taking food from her in public.
