A mini-controversy erupted when the directors for the "Promise of a New Day" video chose to use an effect that stretched the picture lengthwise. Non-Paula fans decided this was an attempt to make Abdul appear thinner. The drama continued later that year when Abdul appeared on the MTV Video Music Awards. She wore a one-piece boustier outfit which purportedly made her look egg-shaped. It was due to a poorly-placed microphone pack, but that didn't stop morning radio shows from blasting her the next day. Abdul had actually lost weight during this time and she later revealed she had been suffering from an eating disorder for many years.
