"I've watched my beautiful, self-confident, brilliant daughter be berated and ridiculed for her looks and weight to the point that she almost died," Sebert told the magazine. The doctors told me her blood pressure and sodium levels were so low, they'd never seen it that low except with someone who'd had a heart attack or stroke. They said it was a miracle she hadn't already dropped dead on stage. Sebert says her 26-year-old daughter's body image issues were exacerbated by the constant criticism she received from her producer her former manager David Sonenberg. One time on a conference call, Sonenberg was screaming, 'You need to lose weight! I don't care what you do ... take drugs, not eat, stick your finger down your throat!' Sebert added to the mag. She drove around afterwards thinking about killing herself. She added that her longtime producer Dr. Luke also berated her about her image. He has just always been very disrespectful about her weight. He'd say it in certain ways, like 'Why don't you try running?' She was doing everything and not getting thin fast enough, and that's when she first became bulimic.
