'Anyone who's had an eating disorder knows you've got a life of hell': Fifi Box gets emotional talking about Kendall Jenner's 'appetite suppressing' home decor advice
Kendall Jenner recently claimed she decorated her bedroom with a shade of pink which is 'scientifically proven' to suppress appetite.
But radio personality Fifi Box claimed the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was sending a 'bad' and 'destructive' message to her millions of young fans.
The 39-year-old became emotional on Fox FM's Fifi, Dave, Fev & Byron on Friday, telling listeners: 'Hunger is a natural body function that you require to live.'

Speaking out: Fifi Box (L) said Kendall Jenner (R) is sending a 'bad' and 'destructive' message to her young fans by recommending a shade of pink which is said to 'suppress appetite'
The former Neighbours star said: 'My issue is that Kendall Jenner is a role model for young girls and young women.
'And here's the thing, and I hope there are girls listening to this right now, hunger is a natural body function that you require to live.
'And suppressing your appetite is such a bad message - because you need an appetite! Because then you eat and your body continues to function and you get to enjoy your life.
'She is a role model for young girls and young women': Fifi said of Kendall's controversial decor advice, 'Messages like this are so destructive to little girls and young girls'
'I'll tell you when you don't enjoy your life - when you have an eating disorder.
'And anyone who's had an eating disorder knows you've got a life of hell ahead of you because you never break free of it.
'Messages like this are so destructive to little girls and young girls - and boys for that matter,' she continued.
Slim figure: Kendall, who rose to fame on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and is know a successful fashion model, has over 73 million followers on Instagram
'I know that she's got 73 million followers on Instagram and that's just one social media platform,' said Fifi. 'That's three times the population of this country.
'That's how many people who have now read: "Oh that lovely colour colour of pink means I won't have to eat and I can be as skinny as Kendall Jenner".
'That kills me. I know we certainly don't have 73 million listeners of this show, but I just hope there are girls listening who realise, "When you're tummy tells you you're hungry that's a great thing".'
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Kendall's representatives for comment.
Fifi, 39, made the comments on her Fox FM breakfast show Fifi, Dave, Fev & Byron on Friday
