Kate Upton Finally Responds To Attack From ‘Pro-Skinny’ Site

The blogosphere has been up in arms recently over a blog post that called Kate Upton “lazy”, “lardy”, and “fat”, and now the 20-year-old model has made a statement about the comments.

The post, which was published on pro-anorexia pro-skinny blog SkinnyGossip, made an extended metaphor comparing Kate to a cow and shaming her for not being a size 0. According to the Sun, this is what Kate had to say:

“I’m not going to starve just to be thin. I want to enjoy life and I can’t if I’m not eating and miserable.”

Her rep had a few words as well:

“It’s absurd. Kate is gorgeous and very healthy.”

Good for Kate for not dragging herself down to their level with her response. We’ve already discussed why what the anonymous author of SkinnyGossip said was so wrong, but hopefully this discussion doesn’t fade into the background any time soon. Body shaming is not just petty, but incredibly harmful to all girls’ self-esteem and relationships.

We’d love to hear what you have to say about the issue in the comments below.

    jealousy truly is unbecoming…

    the type of “skinny” some people advocate is only going to make them attractive corpses

    I’ve noticed how far too many Hollywood actresses go for the anorexia-look.  It’s unbecoming.  Perfect example, take a look at Denice Richards when she starred in Starship Trooper and look at her now.  Notwithstanding the age difference, back then she had a natural beauty.  Now, she’s just skin and bones.  No thanks!

    I’ve always preferred thick thighs and ass myself.

    SkinnyGossip should have a burger and STFU.

    If you don’t love Kate Upton then you have got to be a lord of insanity.

    This young lady is hardly “lardy” or “fat,” for heaven’s sake. She’s actually quite slender compared to most women. Do the “skinny girls” on that blog think that being freakishly bony = beautiful and superior? I’m guessing most guys would choose Kate Upton over every single one of those bony, jealous, petty, hateful girls based on both looks and character.

    The only reason I am posting on this is that I have never given a comment section an all thumbs up before:)

    I bet she has a BMI that places her EASILY in the “normal” category, and perhaps even in the “underweight” category.

    If you look at her and think that she’s obese, or even just overweight, then you might have an actual eating disorder yourself.

    Kate Upton is not fat…But as a skinny guy myself, I’ve been meaning to put on a few pounds…And I sure wouldn’t mind putting on Kate Upton…She’d look good on me.

    You said it, or Geri Halliwell. The stick figure look is unhealthy, I prefer a gal who looks like a woman not a total anorexic.

    If that’s heavy, mark me down as a fat fan.

  • DrewDiGGi

    Yes! If KAte Upton is fat then call me a chubby chaser!

    This is unbelievable. Any straight man who finds Upton unattractive needs to be compelled to be sexually converted into a liberal woman with a lifetime membership in NOW, and any children they might be having should be forcibly removed from their control upon birth. Tax dollars should be used to make all of this happen. Much better than using our money on things like Solyndra. And cheaper too.

    Morons. They’re all miserable and killing their bodies to look good for eachother. Straight men love curves; woman who have the body of a 9-year-old boy is a turn OFF! You all look gross to us. Kate’s hot.

    I wish I was as ugly and fat as Kate.

    Please don’t bring BMI into this. It’s totally outdated and quite frankly useless.

    I think Kate Upton is still very pretty, but she’s leaning toward an Anna Nicole Smith Kentucky Fried Chicken eating physique. Let’s hope she doesn’t go that route.

    To the writers of that skinny blog, Johns HOpkins has a unit that could help you with your eating disorders.

    WHY would ANYONE (especially a heterosexual male) want ANY woman who looks like a 9 year old BOY?

    Of COURSE, everyone has their own preferences, but I’d MUCH RATHER have someone like Kate Upton or Queen Latifa, than twiggy or Michelle Obama!

  • tanyafacefromouterspace

    I wish I could be as “fat” as her haha, although I have to agree on the things they say about her dressing trashy and in stuff thats too small, but I dont see any men complaining and thats who she’s dressing for, so whatever. If I had that bod I would dress it a little less like a trailer park stripper, but thats me. 

  • Fran

    nobody seems to understand that these women who strive for super skinny bodies couldn’t care less what men want.., their body own image is completely warped and how they look at others is so distorted. its not naturally thin they like, they like the edge of death skinny. they need help. and also many men like thin and thick bodies so no shaming the naturally thin women please.

  • Fran

    also people should lay off kate, she found her niche, she is making money and she is very young. she seems like a decent girl, its not like she is mouthing off, complaining. she has a good attitude 

  • http://www.twitter.com/lhyzz Elhyzzabeth

    you misspelled ‘hideous’

  • http://www.twitter.com/lhyzz Elhyzzabeth

    I am trying to understand what being liberal or belonging to NOW has anything to do with this… this comment makes so little sense.

    As a woman, and a damned good looking one at that, I have never on my best day in my best dream looked as good as Kate Upton. She’s 20 years old for f**ks sake, lay off her.
    As for that blog, keeping this issue alive feeds traffic to their site. I will not mention their name and neither should anyone here who is offended by their criticism of a red blooded American beauty. 
    I don’t care if her clothes appear trashy, small, whatever – those are props for photo sessions – and we don’t know how she dresses at home in front of the TV. Probably in sweats and a t shirt. 
    So let’s let this story drop and don’t give any more attention to these publicity craving harpies.
    Real women don’t trash other women. 

    PS My husband thinks she’s magnificent, but he still prefers Halle Berry.
