Recently in the entertainment news there has been talk about a new actress who doesn't fit the criteria of Hollywood. The actress who stars in the movie Precious, Gabourey Sidibe is the one being targeted by Hollywood critics. Sidibe has been told by people that she doesn't look like she belongs in Hollywood. Howard Stern has called her " the size of a planet" a weight loss supplement company has came to her saying that they would give her a years worth of their product if she will endorse it. Gabourey Sidibe hasn't let it hurt her. When asked how she felt about her weight she said "I learned to love myself, because I sleep with myself every night and I wake up with myself every morning, and if I don't like myself, there's no reason to even live the life,". She goes on to say "I love the way I look. I'm fine with it. And if my body changes, I'll be fine with that."
My Response:
I think that it's wrong for people to criticize her on her weight and tell her that she won't be able to get good roles in Hollywood because of her weight. It's not your size that gets you the good roles, it's the quality of your acting. It's also very good that she is laughing off the comments that people are making and is keeping her head up. I think that she should be a role model for people who have issues with their weight because she shows that you could love yourself at any size you are!
