Mandel confirmed, “She does eat, I am a witness to it. She should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for someone who can consume that many calories and stay that fit.” As for where Klum’s diet rumours began, the “AGT” judge shared that she did reveal her true weight after being asked to use a scale by a fan — which showed she weighs 138 pounds — and commentators jumped to conclusions from that number. “Someone asked me how much I weighed and I got on the scale and showed how much I weighed and, I don’t know, people just put things together and just write a bunch of crap,” Klum said.
