“Unfiltered and Fierce: How These Stars Turned Body Shaming into Empowering Comebacks!”
Rihanna responded to the haters on Instagram by posting a video of herself picking out a pack of Cheetos along with the caption, “Somebody called me too fat? 😂 😂 😂 ”
Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet opened up about how body shaming has personally affected her: “I had been bullied at school. They called me Blubber. Teased me for wanting to act. Locked me in the cupboard. Laughed at me… I wasn’t the prettiest. I was even told that I might be lucky in my acting if I was happy to settle for the fat-girl parts. [Casting agents] would say, ‘You’re just not what we’re looking for Kate.'”
“I fought back,” she went on. “I had to ignore the negative comments. I had to believe in myself. I had to choose to rise above it all, and I had to work hard. You have to be indestructible to do what you love, and believe that you are worth it. And sometimes that’s the hardest part… You are being your best and you own that. Nobody can take that away from you ever.”
Sarah Hyland
People have been criticizing Sarah Hyland on social media for being too skinny. Some people even accused her of being anorexic. Sarah’s low body weight is due to some serious kidney issues she’s been living with since she was a child.
Sarah tweeted, “I’m not in control of what my body looks like. No, that’s not Photoshop, those are my legs, those are my arms. I write this because I’ve been accused of promoting anorexia, in, ironically enough, an anti-bullying post. And I want young girls to know that’s not my intention.”
