We just hope she’s healthy! Forest Whitaker’s wife Keisha set off a few alarms when she showed up to the Independent Spirit Awards this weekend looking even more slim than usual. We’ve been saying she could use a pork chop or two for awhile now, but “an expert” tells RadarOnline that she may be down as much as 35 lbs from past years and it could be a major health concern:
When Forest Whitaker’s wife Keisha attended a series of Academy Awards events on the arm of her A-list husband, her gaunt appearance proved to be distressing for onlookers. Indeed, one doctor has told RadarOnline.com that the actress is taking many risks with her extreme weight loss!
Keisha, who turns 42 this week, has lost up to 35 pounds, predicted Dr. Fred Pescatore, who has not treated her.
“She is most likely about 110 pounds now but was 135 just a few years ago,” he said. “Or even she could be down to 105 pounds from 140 pounds.
“She runs the risk of premature aging of her heart and bones,” Dr. Pescatore, author of The Hampton’s Diet, added.
“Most importantly, going up and down like this wreaks havoc on the metabolism and makes it increasingly difficult to continue to stay thin without more and more effort. Possibly to the point of starvation and pills.”
He warned that drastic measures are never healthy, suggesting: “Looking good for the Oscars is one thing — looking like a poster child for a death camp is another.”
It’s pretty harsh to call her a “poster child for a death camp” but we’d agree we share some concerns.
Keisha for her part has long defended her thin frame and tweeted within recent months that she’s comfortable in her skin.
She also doesn’t seem to be on any kind of strict diet, she tweets about eating pizza and taco and such.
But after searching some photo archives, we can see a considerable difference over the years. Hit the flip to see.

Nobody is making light of this situation, it looks like she’s struggling to hold her head up. We genuinely wish the Whitakers well and hope that Keisha is taking good care of herself.
