Olsen twin home from facility

Mary-Kate Olsen has left the facility she entered last month for treatment of what was reported to be an eating disorder and is trying to return to a healthy weight and restore her spirits by hanging out with friends and family in Los Angeles, her publicist reports.

Eventually, she plans to come forward, but for now the 18-year-old actress is keeping a low profile, Michael Pagnotta said.

“She’s home,” he said. “She’s doing really well. She looks great, but even more importantly, she feels great.”

Her ordeal does not seem to have affected the popularity or business appeal of Olsen and her twin sister, Ashley, he said. Instead of rejecting their fallen teen idol, many of Mary-Kate’s young fans have embraced her vulnerability, forging an even deeper bond with the star they know from direct-to-video movies, a clothing line and merchandise including toothpaste and dolls.

“Not only have the fans been supportive, but all of the business colleagues, the retail partners and so on -- who certainly can make judgments based on things other than pure sympathy -- all of them have been incredibly supportive,” Pagnotta said.
