"I am not a woman whose self-worth comes from her dress size."
1. Lizzo
2. Ariana Grande
In 2015, some loser wrote in a now-deleted tweet, “Got asked if I’d prefer Ariel Winter or Ariana Grande lol. It would definitely be Ariel. Curves are sexy. Sticks aren’t.”
The singer responded to the skinny-shaming on Twitter, writing, “We live in a day and age where people make it IMPOSSIBLE for women, men, anyone to embrace themselves exactly how they are. Diversity is sexy! Loving yourself is sexy! You know what is NOT sexy? Misogyny, objectifying, labeling, comparing, and body-shaming!”
3. Jennifer Lopez
In 2016, the singer told E! that she faced pressure to slim down early in her career. “They kept telling me to lose weight. I was a dancer, and I was athletic, and even my manager at the time — who I no longer work with — was telling me, ‘You need to lose weight. You need to be thinner,'” she recalled.
But J.Lo was not having it. “I was like, ‘No, I don’t. If I lose any more weight, it won’t be me.'”
4. Jonah Hill
Early last year, the Daily Mail published a pic of the actor shirtless at the beach. Jonah shared a powerful post on Instagram, writing, “I don’t think I ever took my shirt off in a pool until I was in my mid 30s, even in front of family and friends. Probably would have happened sooner if my childhood insecurities weren’t exacerbated by years of public mockery about my body by press and interviewers.”
Later in the year, Jonah also shared a message on Instagram asking people to stop commenting on his body. “I want to politely let you know it’s not helpful and doesn’t feel good,” he wrote.
Throughout 2015, the singer dealt with constant body-shaming. On one of her Instagram posts, a commenter wrote, “You need to work out! Please stop eating junk food.” In a second comment, they continued, “She’s an actress; she needs to tone her body. In the business, sadly, the image — it’s important.”
Selena replied, “You’re disgusting. I’m IN the business, and I could care less about what ‘they’ or you say I should look like. I don’t need to do anything other than love myself, [and] take care of my work, fans, family, and friends.”
6. Kristen Bell
The actor faced heavy criticism for weight gain during both of her pregnancies. During a 2013 interview with Redbook, she spoke about her postpartum body, saying, “I refused to worry about something I could not change, and I still refuse. … I had to surrender to not worrying about the way I looked, how much I weighed, because that’s just part of the journey of having a baby. I am not a woman whose self-worth comes from her dress size.”
7. Melanie Lynskey
Earlier this year, the Yellowjackets actor slammed body-shamers who claim to just care about health.
“Bitch you don’t see me on my Peleton!” she wrote. “You don’t see me running through the park with my child. Skinny does not always equal healthy.”
In 2015, British TV personality Katie Hopkins wrote now-deleted tweets fat-shaming the singer. In the first, she wrote, “Jesus, what happened to Kelly Clarkson? Did she eat all of her backing singers?” In the second, she said, “Darling, if you had a baby a year ago, that is not baby weight. It is fat. Quit calling it cute names to make yourself feel better.”
During an interview with Heat, Kelly responded to Katie’s cruel words: “She tweeted something nasty about me? That’s because she doesn’t know me. I’m awesome! It doesn’t bother me.”
9. Lily Allen
The same Katie Hopkins also made disparaging remarks about Lily’s post-pregnancy body. During an interview with Heat, Katie said that for Lily Allen, becoming a mother “largely involved gaining 2 stone and looking pretty hideous.”
Lily responded in a series of tweets: “Yes, after tragically [losing] a child so late into my pregnancy, I may have gained a few pounds. I am one of many that find comfort in food. The two pregnancies that followed were terrifying because of what had happened before and I was pretty much on bed rest for 20 months.”
She continued, “I wasn’t exercising because I didn’t want to take any risks, and funnily enough, the survival of my children felt more important than being thin.”
10. Sarah Hyland
In 2017, the actor received a wave of hateful comments on social media telling her “to eat a burger” and that her head was “bigger than her body.”
In a long message shared on Twitter, she wrote, “I am not a fan of ‘being skinny’. Which many of you have told me that I am too much of. ‘Eat a burger’ ‘your head is bigger than your body and that’s disgusting’ And you’re right! I should eat a burger! Cause they’re fucking delicious! […] but considering I’ve basically been on bed rest for the past few months, I’ve lost a lot of muscle mass. My circumstances have put me in a place where I’m not in control of what my body looks like.”
After a shirtless pic of Charlie leaving the gym made its way around social media, negative comments were made about the singer’s body. Soon after, he tweeted, “Hey just a very quick reminder that it’s not cool to body shame anyone. Not entirely sure what the purpose of it is. Sorry I don’t have an 8-pack like damn…”
In 2016, the Olympic superstar tweeted this picture of herself. Some commenters mocked her appearance, with one now-suspended man writing, “Your back has more muscle than mine does.”
In 2016, the model made an Instagram post calling out someone who’d called her thighs “cellulite city.”
“I now realize these thighs tell a story of victory and courage. I will not let others dictate what they think my body should look like for their own comfort, and neither should you. #beautybeyondsize #effyourbeautystandards,” she wrote.
14. Jennifer Aniston
After yet another whirlwind of pregnancy rumors in 2016, the actor penned a powerful essay for HuffPost addressing the nonsense: “For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up. I’m fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body-shaming that occurs daily under the guise of ‘journalism,’ the ‘First Amendment’ and ‘celebrity news.'”
She continued: “The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing. The way I am portrayed by the media is simply a reflection of how we see and portray women in general, measured against some warped standard of beauty.”
15. Melissa McCarthy
In an Observer review of Melissa’s 2013 movie Identity Thief, critic Rex Reed called her “tractor-sized.”
The actor told the New York Times, “I felt really bad for someone who is swimming in so much hate. I just thought, that’s someone who’s in a really bad spot, and I am in such a happy spot. I laugh my head off every day with my husband and my kids, who are mooning me and singing me songs.”
16. Jason Momoa
After a shirtless picture of the actor on vacation went viral, many people fat-shamed his supposed “dad bod.” When a TMZ reporter asked Jason if the body-shaming hurt him, he replied, “Not at all…tell TMZ I’ll show you my dad bod soon.”
17. Jennifer Lawrence
In a 2014 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the actor revealed that producers fat-shamed her early in her career. “Somebody told me I was fat, that I was going to get fired if I didn’t lose a certain amount of weight. They brought in pictures of me where I was basically naked and told me to use them as motivation for my diet,” she explained.
“If anybody even tries to whisper the word ‘diet,’ I’m like, ‘You can go fuck yourself,'” she said.
18. Lady Gaga
After the singer killed it at the 2017 Super Bowl, she faced tons of criticism online about her stomach.
She addressed that nonsense with a beautiful Instagram post: “I heard my body is a topic of conversation so I wanted to say, I’m proud of my body, and you should be proud of yours too. No matter who you are or what you do. I could give you a million reasons why you don’t need to cater to anyone or anything to succeed. Be you, and be relentlessly you. That’s the stuff of champions.”
19. Gabourey Sidibe
Social media trolls body-shamed the Precious actor when she attended the 2014 Golden Globes. Twitter users wrote cruel hashtags like “ImSurprisedSheCouldFitInTheFrame” and “IThinkSheAteTheGoldenGlobes.”
Gabby tweeted the perfect comeback: “I mos def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night.”
In 2018, a photo of the Riverdale star made its way around social media, with many people saying that she looked pregnant.
The actor addressed the chatter through a series of posts on her Instagram story. “This is just my body. And sometimes I’m bloated. Sometimes an unflattering photo is taken of me. Sometimes I go through periods of time where I gain weight. My body is something I will NEVER apologize for.”
21. Jameela Jamil
In 2018, a man approached the Good Place actor at the gym and told her that every time he saw her, he thought, Ah, what a shame, she could look so amazing. He informed her that there were so many different things she could do to improve her body.
“I’m comfortable, I enjoy my body, I enjoy my curves,” she said in a video after the encounter. “No one needs this. I don’t need this man. To that man, don’t walk up to anyone, don’t walk up to a woman ever again and say anything like that. I don’t need your advice, I don’t want your advice, I didn’t ask you for your advice as to whether or not I’m good-looking enough. Just fuck off.”
22. Bebe Rexha
In 2019, the singer shared a now-deleted picture on Instagram of herself performing. The comment section quickly filled with criticism over her weight, with one person calling her “tubby.”
Bebe responded with a series of tweets: “To all the people tweeting mean things to me about my weight you just want a response and you will not get it.”
In 2007, photos of the supermodel in a bikini were plastered across the tabloids. Articles mocked her weight with headlines like “Thigh-ra Banks” and “America’s Next Top Waddle.”
Soon after, she addressed the fat-shaming on an episode of The Tyra Banks Show: “To all of you that have something nasty to say about me or other women that are built like me…I have one thing to say to you: Kiss my fat ass!”
24. 50 Cent
After his performance at the Super Bowl a few months ago, haters mercilessly fat-shamed the rapper. He offered an iconic response in an Instagram post: “Fat shaming only applies when [you’re] ashamed of your fat.”
25. Alyssa Milano
In 2013, radio host Jay Mohr hosted a NASCAR Awards event, where Alyssa was a presenter. Later that month, Jay made some horrible statements about her post-pregnancy body on the radio. “It seems like she had a baby and said, ‘I don’t really give a shit.’ I read it on her gut. … Somebody sat in the director’s chair and was not wearing Spanx, and I was like, ‘Jesus Christ.'”
Alyssa responded to his crap with a very classy tweet: “So sorry you felt the need to publicly fat-shame me. Be well and God Bless. Please send my love to your beautiful wife.”
Two years ago, the reality TV star shared pics of herself in a bikini on Instagram. One commenter decided that she looked pregnant and said so.
27. And Finally, Zendaya
During E!’s Fashion Police coverage of the 2015 Oscars, Giuliana Rancic infamously said Zendaya’s locs made her look like someone who smelled of “patchouli oil” or “weed.”
The actor shut down Giuliana’s horrific comments with a beautifully written response she shared on Twitter.
“There is already harsh criticism of African American hair in society without the help of ignorant people who choose to judge others based on the curl of their hair. My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough,” she wrote.
Zendaya responded, “Do you find this funny? I will write another paragraph to educate you as well.”
“Now….everyone go look in the mirror at their beautiful body, and love that shit. #thickgirlswinning #skinnygirlswinning #weallwinning,” she concluded.
A round of applause to all these celebs for putting body-shamers in their place!!
