I don’t know why this is still a thing, but it obviously needs to be said: commenting anything negative (or gross!) about someone’s body is not okay.
If it’s not plus size women getting harassed, it’s “skinny” women being criticized.
RELATED STORIES
Being a woman in this world is exhausting.
Gal Gadot
Not even Wonder Woman is immune to criticism.
Even though Gal Gadot is clearly very physically strong and fit, people still saw fit to call her “too skinny” and that her breasts were “too small.”
Gal simply said that those comments are “empty talk.” She’s right, and she should say it.
Tara Reid
In response to being called “scary skinny” and being bullied for her thin frame, Reid went and starred in a movie about bullying, called Worthless .
And as for the accusation that she doesn’t eat? According to her, that’s BS. “Everyone knows I eat more than anyone. I’m just a thin girl,” she said.
Giuliana Rancic
Nothing like bullying a cancer survivor, huh?
After being called “shockingly skinny” and all other manner of names, Giuliana Rancic revealed that she’s so thin because she’s been on a cancer-suppressing drug since 2012.
Denise Richards
Denise Richards has been bullied by [multiple outlets] for her body.
In response, she brought up her daughters. “What bothers me is I have three daughters. I’m such an advocate for health and fitness.”
Imagine if her daughters had to hear that horrible stuff being said about their mother.
Ariana Grande
It’s a big mistake to try and come for Ariana. Not only will she respond, but she’ll do it with grace.
Since everyone has an opinion about her life, she decided to speak up.
Also, comparing women’s bodies? That is and will never be cute.
Sarah Hyland
People are horrible sometimes.
All Sarah Hyland did was post a tweet with a picture of herself attached, in which she was shouting out Dirty Dancing on ABC.
And what happened? Well, someone thought they should open their mouths.
She stood up for herself
Big time. In two tweets, Sarah explained that health issues led to her loss of muscle mass and overall weight loss.
She had kidney displasia, and received a kidney transplant. She has ongoing health issues.
See why it’s so ignorant to just throw hate at people?
Magdalena Frackowiak
The Victoria’s Secret model had no intentions of entertaining stereotypical model questions during an interview at the VS Fashion show.
“What? No guys, not with these kinds of questions, this is stupid!” She said.
What a queen.
Gigi Hadid
Just because a person exists, does not mean we get to demand access to every part of their lives.
When Gigi Hadid models, we should be looking at what she’s modeling — not criticizing her body!
Zendaya
When a comedian accused Zendaya of being a “thinspo” (thin inspiration) model for young people, she wasn’t having any of it.
She asked if the comedian found it funny, and then followed it up with a tweet full of love.
Khloé Kardashian
“I need to remember the date today!! Never would I have ever thought I would be in the media for being ‘too skinny’. What on earth?!?!
“First I’m too fat and now I’m too skinny. I love this game!!”
There’s no winning.
Kelly Ripa
After her husband, Mark Conseulos, posted a picture of her in a bikini, the comments section blew up with all sorts of nastiness.
He stood up for her, of course. He wrote:
“She works extremely hard in her professional life and her commitment to exercise, healthy diet is admirable and the benefits show. Yes she’s wearing a bikini at age 47 and will no doubt wear one for many years to come.”
Keira Knightley
After being repeatedly shamed for years on end, Keira Knightley spoke out about her experience with the press as a teen.
When asked if she would advise a hypothetical teenage daughter to take up acting, she said, “I would 150 million trillion percent be totally discouraging of [her] doing anything like that.”
Ruby Rose
After fans accused her of promoting an unhealthy lifestyle and asked her to be a better role model, Ruby decided to fire back.
When talking about body shaming, she said: “I hate it because it uses no logic and basically is just someone projecting their experience and expectations on others.”
Emma Stone
The always well-spoken Emma Stone had some thoughts on the culture we live in, especially when it comes to people commenting on her being “too thin.”
She said: “It can be really challenging in today’s world for anyone—especially girls and women—to feel good about their bodies.”
A friendly reminder that judging the way someone else looks is not cool. Remember, if you don’t have anything nice to say…
