Check out actress Gabourey Sidibe's classic reply to weight critics

The Oscar nominated plus size actress stood up to weight critics in the best possible way. She took to twitter to write what you see above after people slammed her red carpet look at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. Instead of feeling bad, the Precious star had the perfect answer for the mean-spirited tweets directed her way after the awards. Way to go Gabby! See some of the tweets after the cut...

Interesting! For me I think Her shape and weight is bad. But, I think she's using it as a figure or a brand in the Film Industry ..But, I wish she would watch it cos of her heart. Shalom!

But this Gabourey sef? why didnt she use body magic? what is the need of replying when u know u r so obviously overweight.

Unknown said...

Lolzzzz.... But she's proud of herself!

Unknown said...

But the size isn't good enough.
She should work on herself jor.
It's not all about sounding mean on twitter and what have you, does she feel cool with her shape.
God didn't create her like that.

What use will d PJ and dream job be when obesity kills u??? Yea it's mean but she needs to do smth about her weight for her own good

mmykel said...

Humans won't cease to amaze, do u want her commit suicide jst bcos she's fat

BUT seriously her stylist should be jailed for 14 years..why this dress ?? what ever happened to looser fitting black or midnight blue eh???.....buh i get the feeling that she is stubborn and styles herself

Anonymous said...

Her retort is weak. Obesity will kill her if she doesn't take measures to control her weight.

Unknown said...

Pls let her be. Only God knows what she is going thro abt her weight. Acidic comments abt it only add 'insult upon injury'. Battle with d bulge is a life time affair, may God help her.

Hehee... Good to go girl! But mean while you do need to loose that weight, it's not only unattractive but also a health risk. Join 'weight watchers' or something if you need motivation. If Jennifer Hudson can do it, so can you.

While it is ok to feel good about yourself no matter what, she should also know that it is a health issue. Obesity kills so, one should be very careful about how one goes about it..

Mbok she shuld loose the weight instead of replying. Shez just too big and d annoying part is dat dere is sumtin she can do abt it.

Unknown said...

Good for her but she should watch it cos of health problems. I wonder who does her cos its gonna take a lot of work(spreading, digging and pushing of flesh) to reach the prize. #sonotsexy

SHE LOOK'S TRAGIC . LOL.

Like ur confidence girl.... But U̶̲̥̅̊ are BIIIIGGG.

But she is fat o.

Anonymous said...

Doesn't matter how many private jets she's flying. She can and should do something about her weight, ugly and fat, not a good combo.

Anonymous said...

Reality check though: she is morbidly obese (very very fat)! I am an obese woman and I know that we all WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT no matter what we say. You only know how much you desire it when it starts happening, otherwise some stay in denial. Being very fat has health risks - arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep disordered breathing and snoring, high cholestol, sudden heart attacks, reduced mobility and social issues, restrictions while flying by air, nightmare buying clothes, etc... She needs support to address it, but lashing out is also not the right response

Na wa oooO bt realy nw fat b d@ *confusedfaced

Anonymous said...

Common guys, using ones mouth to downgrade som1 cos of their looks isn't nyc......there ar a lot of pipo sufferin frm health challanges, I gues her kind of obesity is caused by abnormal excessive growth of her cells thereby makin her grow bigger by d second......I guess she might evn tried goin on weight watchin diets all to no avail......pls go easy on d criticism, there's no perfectly perfect human being anywhere...... Peace!!!!!!

Unknown said...

Lol at d last tweet..do u knw d muffin man...cracked ribs..hahaha

Anonymous said...

Wants to believe she,s doing a whole lot on herself behind d scene. She can,t join others in condeming herself bcos low self esteem kills faster than death.

Anonymous said...

She needs a better stylist ...Haba!...why would anyone advise her to wear that figure hugging shimmering gown?...she needs to find a better outfit coordination that will enhance her figure type..and spare us the eye sore...

jaybeyblu said...

Poor u! But your situation and hers are similar only if u r not eating. Being obese is unhealthy, so is starving! She needs to lose that weight and u need to eat. If it's ur nature tho then yea ignore d world as long as u eat healthy

Anonymous said...

If she lose weight the possibility of death is gone abi? Take note of all d hollywood

Well everyone cannot be chopstick,if ur health is safe then no quams. Rock yah bodiii

ROFL! Doesn't change the fact that she's grossly overweight! Plus size? Don't make me laugh.

Charmie said...

Lmao dey r hating on her while she's cryin on a private jet goin for a job hmmm I wonder if d haters ve a job to go to?lol.but gurl u need to watch dt cos of ur heart...

zoomzoomzoom said...

Body magic can't work any magic on Gabourey's body, she's big &the tummy is bulging. The dress is pretty&Gabourey is very confident coming to GG in this dress. An A-line dress would have been beautiful on her....

Anonymous said...

Bullshit, she looks smelly abeg. Make dem tell truth. Who gives a fuck about entering private jet? How much does it cost to board one?

Maggie said...

what a shame...and all the people criticizing her are blacks...we really do hate ourselves.

Jade said...

Yeah,its easy to respond and say sumfin witty when pple call u fat,but when you go back into the privacy of your room,does the reflection you see in the mirror bother u? If it does do sumfin about it! Simple!

Newlife said...

It is a demented world when people look at private jet for happiness. She need to bring that body down some bit.

Her size does not look healthy, I like big women but hers is on the extreme side. I will be afraid to be her friend!

olori said...

But she really needs to lose some weight on a more serious note,being obese is so unhealthy, I used to be obese and I started havin high bp,I jst had 2 work on it and nw my bp is bk 2 normal

Anonymous said...

Most of una na real mumu, so if she reduce now she no fit die again abi? Even u wey dey talk u know wetin go kill u? U fit dey avoid sugar,meat,butter, and all those things but na car fit kill u at d end so abeg let's live our life joor.

Phaeton Phoenix said...

I like her. I really like her for who she is. Health wise she could do with shedding a few pounds but if it not endangering her health and future, then she is fine.

dhobiz said...

Leave her,as fat as she is,she still dey enter private jet when she's suppose to be trekking

At least she has money....is better than being skinny and hungry at the same time

Why she go wear that kain cloth sef? There are dresses for full figured women na. Queen Latifah won't be caught dead on something like this. Exposing all the folds and handles. Chai. As my belle big, it's always empire waist or layered dress. There are some things that are best kept in the dark.

Obesity is nothing to joke about, she needs to hit the gym or get surgery ASAP!!!

White people are means a** people! That's why God punished them with natural disasters and suicide! They pretend to be sensitive but deep inside, hell is brewing.

This girl is obese. She should stop acting like she loves it. This is not hating, she should watch it cos of Herat problems. Well as long as she's healthy, she should go ahead . But she sure ain't easy on the eyes though.

Sorry but who is she? My God the pic caught my attention. Is she preggy? Damnnn

Anonymous said...

I love this lady,her acting is on point and her supposed self confidence is contagious,however in the light of all the beautiful attributes she should make sure she's healthy and she eats right and does a little bit of exercise.if the mentioned criteria are met,then she can ignore the world otherwise she should do something fast!!!!!!

FunmiD said...

In as much as i love and admire her confidence,it is of great importance that she loses some weight for her health sake.she needs to realize that she needs to lose weight not for anybody but herself so she should take it seriously.

kunle said...

Fat is ugly. Get slim down and the difference must be clear.
