Here are some of the best celeb responses to fat shaming.
Tyra Banks
When it comes to shutting down fat shamers, Tyra Banks is queen.
She started out with some context, stating, “I love my mama.
Sick of the haters, she delivered the final blow.
It was fat shame take-down history, and it blew everyone’s minds.
It still does today.
The fat shamers struck again in 2017 after her Super Bowl performance with their usual criticism.
No matter who you are or what you do.
That’s the stuff of champions.
thank you so much everyone for supporting me.
I love you guys.
“She does look like she’s eaten her backup singers.
Iskra Lawrence
That’s not all, either.
Talk about the heroine we need!
Gabourey Sidibe
And when she heard there were haters?
She continued, “I keep hearing that people are ‘hating’ on it.
I’m not sure how anyone could hate on love but that’s okay.”
She finished, saying, “You may have your memes.
Honestly, I’m at work too busy to check Twitter anyway.
Hope you enjoy next week’s show!”
And with worldwide fame, unfortunately, comes worldwide scrutiny of your body if you’re a woman.
But she was fat shamed before she was a household name, too.
She toldHarper’s Bazaarthat it began when she was young, at the beginning of her career.
“It was just the kind of s*** that actresses have to go through.
It was just that.”
And even though it hurt then as it stings now, she didn’t let it break her.
She continued, “I know it’ll never happen to me again.
Talk about a girl on fire!
Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham is a complete and utter bombshell.
She was thefirst everplus sized model to appear on the cover of theSports Illustrated Swimsuit Issueback in 2016.
And Graham, class act that she is, had the perfect response.
Clearly she can handle it, as well as call it out for what it is: bigoted.
And what that means is that we really need to change the industry.”
Thankfully the industry already is, and Graham’s success is proof of that.
Melissa McCarthy
Melissa McCarthy just keeps getting better.
Obviously he’s wrong, as she was thesecond highest-paidactress in the world in 2016.
At first, she was confused.
and then I looked at my video and I was like, ‘It’s my own video.'”
And even though she was involved in the editing process, this was done anyway.
And she was surprised, continuing, “I don’t know how you would shave my waist off.
Like me, as the ‘All About That Bass’ girl.”
Fortunately, Trainor quickly took action.
I need to fix this now as soon as I can.'”
And thankfully behavior that used to be acceptable, like policing what women eat, has become unacceptable.
And that’s good both for women today and girls who will grow up to be women tomorrow.
