Rhea Ripley Reveals She’s Dealing With an Eating Disorder Amid Weight Loss Rumors

Rhea Ripley has addressed the ongoing conversation about her body—and this time, she revealed she’s been dealing with an eating disorder.

After previously denying claims that her physique change was tied to muscle-related back pain, the situation took a more serious turn following a new round of discussion online. Fitness influencer M.K. Angeletti posted an Instagram video breaking down Ripley’s transformation, pushing back on claims and explaining that her leaner look is more about fat loss than losing muscle.

That’s when Ripley stepped in herself—and this time, she didn’t just dismiss the rumors. Responding directly in the comments, Ripley revealed what she’s actually been dealing with behind the scenes, making it clear the speculation had completely missed the mark: “Just a little eating disorder that I’m actively trying to handle ✌️.”

Instead of internet theories about training changes or “losing aura,” Ripley made it clear there’s a real, personal struggle involved—one she’s actively working through. This comes after earlier claims falsely linked her physique change to back pain, which she had already shut down as completely made up.

Now, with her own words out there, the focus moves away from speculation and toward what she’s actually dealing with. With fans and online voices continuing to analyze every change in appearance, Ripley’s comment is a reminder that not everything is as simple as it looks from the outside.
