Yesterday my blog has received a lot of traffic to the post called “Tyra Banks is FAT” and some site claimed that Tyra Banks herself is upset by the fact that these pictures of her were published (and of course by the comments they got), so I’d like to clarify a few things.
First of all, I was not the only one, nor the first one who published these pictures. They are apparently scanned from a magazine (I don’t know which one).
Secondly – I honestly thought that in those pictures she wore a “fat suit” (read this article). That was the only reason I called her “fat” and made comments about her weight (that, and of course the fact that she is part of the industry that glorifies thinness). I still have absolutely no idea if she really gained weight or not.
I just want to make it clear for anyone (and for Tyra too, if she happens to read this blog) that I don’t care about her weight, she can be as underweight or as overweight as she likes, but she is a celebrity (a MODEL) and people will always make comments about her weight, whether she likes it or not.
