5. Victoria Justice
Everyone loves Victoria Justice, her seemingly endless optimisms and that perpetual but honest smile on her face. Who could imagine that this beautiful and upbeat young star might suffer from an autoimmune disease? You’d think that Victoria never once caught a cold in her life.
In fact, Victoria suffers from a condition called Hashimoto’s disease or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The disease affects the normal functioning of the thyroid, causing a number of systemic symptoms. For Victoria, it caused weight fluctuations and acne.
She went on an extremely strict diet where she could eat sugar, dairy or wheat for two months. She has also come forward about the psychological effects the disease had on her, lowering her self-esteem and making her more self-conscious. According to Victoria, she is now “back to normal”.
