Donatella Versace revealed that her daughter, Allegra, is suffering from anorexia. The renowned fashion designer stated that her 20 year old daughter has been admitted to a specialized clinic to be treated for the eating disorder. Versace released a joint statement with Allegra’s father asking the media to respect their privacy. “Sadly she has been suffering from this disease for some years and the cures have only been temporary. For some time the situation has become worse and that is why we decided to place her in a designated specialized clinic where she is receiving the best possible treatment.”

Allegra inherited $700 million upon her 18th birthday from her uncle, Gianna Versace, fashion icon and leader of the Versace fashion House. Gianna Versace was gunned down by Andrew Cunanan who committed suicide shortly after the murder. Cunanan was also responsible for 4 other murders during a three month period in a cross-country journey.
