The following article mentions an eating disorder.
In the early 2000s, the country music legend starred in the popular WB TV series “Reba.”
In the beloved sitcom, McEntire played a single mom of three kids.
As she later explained onE!
So whatever happened to Scarlett Pomers?
Let’s break it down.
At the time, she was hospitalized for anorexia, after her weight dropped to 73 pounds.
Yet she didn’t think she had a problem until she found herself hiding her eating and exercise habits.
Her weight, however, was something she thought was within her control.
She toldPeople,“It was very stressful, and my weight became something I centered on.
I became obsessed.”
Pomers did clarify that no one involved with “Reba” ever told her to lose weight.
Her co-stars, however, noticed that she was struggling, especially when her personality changed.
“I was very depressed and withdrawn and nothing like I’ve been,” she said.
While Pomers said that angered her at first, she started seeing a therapist once a day.
“I was away from my family, my home, my work.
I just went, ‘This isn’t worth it.
I have to get better,'” she recalled.
She also wanted people to know that she was getting help.
As she said on"Today,““An eating disorder is a long-term battle …
I think I will fight it for a long time.”
Her acting credits on her IMDb end in 2007, with her role on “Reba.”
However, it appears as though she didn’t have a major role in the flick.
She had a good run though: She worked consistently ever since she got her start as a toddler.
It was apparently something she had been interested in since she was a kid.
She gushed to Kriselen.com, “Music is such an exciting challenge for me right now ….
I am so lucky to be learning and working with the talented people.”
Three years after “Reba” ended, Pomers’ debut EP, “Insane,” came out.
The former actor embraced this new chapter.
As she said on E!
In her aforementioned chat with StarTrek.com, she shared that she was as a professional photographer.
At the time, she was working in both fashion photography and snapping pictures of bands.
While Pomers' work with musicians mostly consisted of promo shoots, she did photograph some concerts too.
She later posted about her work on her Facebook page.
Pomers even appeared in some of the photos she took.
These days, Pomers shares the occasional snapshot on her Instagram.
It is unclear though, as Pomers doesn’t give much context in her captions.
Much like music, writing has long been a part of Pomers' life.
“When I started pursuing my music career, I began using my poetry for song lyrics.”
So, could Pomers one day dive back into the music industry?
Only time will tell.
For all we know, she may be entertaining the idea of putting her pro musician hat back on.
Scarlett Pomers sold jewelry that she made
Scarlett Pomers' artistry and creativity seemingly knows no bounds.
Pomers promoted her business by creating a page for Mermaid’s Lure on both Facebook and Instagram.
There she showed off her creations either alone or on different models.
Most of the jewelry Pomers posted consisted of big crystals or stones.
Many also had a whimsical element like a charm of a moon, unicorn, or seahorse.
At the time, she wrote onFacebook, “Keep an eye out for new products very soon!”
However, as of 2023, the link to her online store no longer exists.
From 1998 to 2001, Pomers appeared on “Star Trek: Voyager” as Naomi Wildman.
She’s also said Jeri Ryan, who played Seven of Nine, was so nice and professional.
Pomers even attended “Star Trek” conventions years after her time on the show ended.
Pomers gushed, “It’s been a great experience.
Just coming to the conventions, it’s been so much fun.”
Nowadays, Pomers sure seems to be sentimental about her time on “Star Trek: Voyager.”
She’s shared photos of herself in character on her Instagram since 2021.
She also posted a throwbackphotoof herself doing the Vulcan salute.
“My favorite picture ever when I was little,” she wrote.
Would Scarlett Pomers be open to a Reba reunion?
Pomers isn’t the only former “Reba” star who still has love for the sitcom.
Many of them have remained close friends too, which would presumably make the project all the more delightful.
Maybe one day we will see her back on our screens with the rest ofthe “Reba” cast.
If you need help with an eating disorder, or know someone who does, help is available.
