The rumor began to circulate after Klum participated in a Q&A session on Instagram where she supposedly shared with her fans what she eats for breakfast and then weighed herself on a scale.
“I just got home, and some friends are sending me these articles that have been written saying I only take in 900 calories,” Klum said in a video.
“I mean, I think I’ve never had to count my calories in my life, and I don’t believe everything you read.”
The model went on to speculate that the false claim about her diet likely arose after her Q&A session was misinterpreted.
“Someone asked me how much I weighed, and I stepped on the scale and showed how much I weighed,” she said. “And I don’t know, people just piece things together and write a bunch of nonsense, and it’s very sad because real journalism doesn’t exist anymore.”
“People make up stories. One person writes and then everyone jumps on it. And it’s very sad because people read this, believe it, and possibly follow it.”
Klum isn’t the only celebrity who has drawn attention for her eating habits. Earlier this year, actress Gwyneth Paltrow made waves on social media after revealing her practice of intermittent fasting with a low-calorie diet that includes bone broth lunches.
