“She was the envy of everyone.” How the world’s most famous doll-like girl has changed over the years
In the realm of beauty contests, Eden Wood was the epitome of every mother’s dream for their daughter. With her doll-like appearance, she gained popularity at a tender age, waltzing into her first contest when she had barely taken her first steps.
However, beneath the surface of this fairy tale-like life, Eden’s childhood was far from magical, and she now prefers not to look back on those days.
Born in 2005, Eden’s mother, Mickey Wood, saw immense potential in her daughter’s modeling prospects, and she was proven right when the little girl secured victory in a staggering 300 contests. But even at the tender age of six, Eden decided to step back from the spotlight.
It was soon apparent that the pursuit of fame and fortune came at a steep price. Mickey took control of every aspect of her daughter’s life, from makeup to hairstyles, and even her finances. The driving force behind it all seemed to be money, rather than Eden’s well-being and happiness.
As she grew, the pressures of being in the limelight began to take their toll. Hyperactivity and red spots on her face and neck hinted at something amiss. The truth came to light – Eden’s mother had been giving her energy drinks and supplements to keep up with her demanding schedule.By the age of two, she was already navigating the world of adult beauty treatments, strutting around in heels, visiting hairdressers, and makeup artists while traveling all across the country.
This excessive lifestyle wreaked havoc on her health, causing problems with her cardiovascular, endocrine, and digestive systems. Eden’s mother controlled her diet, replacing regular meals with protein shakes, and even subjected her to painful procedures, all in the pursuit of beauty.
Thankfully, Eden’s tumultuous beauty contest days have come to an end. Now an adult, she leads a more ordinary life as a teenager, far from the glitz and glamor that once defined her existence. Despite the trials she faced, Eden’s natural beauty still radiates, even without makeup, as she embraces her true self at fifteen.
