Jaime Pressly: I Watched My Friend Get Stabbed!

November 25, 2008


The road from tiny Kinston, N.C., to Hollywood stardom has been a long one for Jaime Pressly, and fraught with more twists and turns than a soap opera!

In the Dec. 8 issue of Star, on sale now, we have a preview of the new book, It's Not Necessarily Not the Truth, written by the My Name is Earl beauty, which chronicles how she overcame her troubled past and family dramas.

Her ticket out of Kinston began when she moved to California at 14. She soon got an offer to model in Japan. But at 118 pounds, she was told to shed some weight before signing her contract. When diet and exercise didn't work, Jaime says she began "bingeing and purging" — the classic signs of bulimia.

Modeling was a problem, but so was her life after her modeling career ended early. Jaime moved in with her then boyfriend, Chris, a gang leader who had been in and out of jail. Their neighborhood was rife with violence: Once, at a high school football game, Jaime watched one girl stab a friend 11 times.

For much more on Jaime's book, including the violence in her own family and why she decided to write the tome, pick up the new Star today.
