Some of the most surprising instances of celebrity body shaming, from Gal Gadot to Jennifer Aniston
Body shaming has reached every corner of the web, from teens to activists to pregnant women.
It’s easier said than done, but it’s important to remember that harsh
words from haters are truly meaningless in the face of your own
self-esteem. One thing that may help? The fact that A-listers — the
celebrities we’ve sometimes literally voted the sexiest people alive — have to deal with body shamers too.

The star of Wonder Woman, for one, has had to fight back against misogyny and trolling related to her body. As Gal Gadot explained to Rolling Stone, she’s
gotten complaints that her body doesn’t have the pinup proportions of
the original — which, friendly reminder, is a comic book character, so
it’s literally impossible for anyone to measure up. She said an
interview with the magazine for its recent cover story, “I told them,
‘Listen, if you want to be for real, then the Amazons, they had only one
boob. Exactly one boob. So what are you talking about here? Me having
small boobs and small ass? That will make all the difference.’”
Gadot’s not the first — and certainly won’t be the last — glamazon to get blasted. Below, a few more:
Jennifer Aniston
Body-shaming rumors got so bad for Jennifer Aniston that she had to pen an essay disavowing
the pregnancy rumors that have followed her for most of her career.
“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,” she wrote. Even with her scorched-earth takedown,
journalists have found new ways to ask Aniston about her body by
inviting her to share her feelings on the persistent rumors. Here’s a solution: Ask this accomplished actress about her work.
Halle Berry
When
Halle Berry walked the red carpet with her hands on her belly at this
summer’s Chrysalis Butterfly Ball, tabloids fell over themselves to
speculate that she was expecting. Her rep had to confirm to People that
she wasn’t pregnant, all due to a bit of belly and a hand
position. Berry found her own way to address the rumors on Instagram.
“Can a girl have some steak and fries?” she wrote.
Rihanna
Even Queen Rih has dealt with discussion over her body weight. Rihanna, just like the rest of us, values her snacks. She laughed off a comment on Instagram, writing, “Somebody called me too fat?” This year, she got cheers
from fans for “that thick Rihanna,” and dozens of articles speculated
about a potential pregnancy or indulgences that led to a few extra
pounds.
Lady Gaga
Lady
Gaga dove into the Super Bowl covered in gemstones, but the next day,
among the praise she also heard about the “pot belly” that haters
thought was visible in her skintight leotard. She weighed in
immediately. “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,” she said at the time. “No matter who you are or what you do.” Supporters descended on her photo to thank her for her encouraging words.
Hilary Duff
When you’ve grown up in the spotlight, you’ve learned exactly how to deal with critics. Hilary Duff posted a photo earlier
this month showing off her “celeb flaws” on Instagram. “I am posting
this on behalf of young girls, women, and mothers of all ages,” she
wrote. “Ladies, let’s be proud of what we’ve got and stop wasting
precious time in the day wishing we were different, better, and
unflawed. You guys (you know who you are!) already know how to ruin a
good time, and now you are body shamers as well.” The hashtag?
#kissmyass.
Let’s hope
these accomplished, intelligent (oh, and gorgeous) women can serve as
role models for anyone out there dealing with the body-hating
bullies. Next time you get a nasty comment on Instagram, just channel
Wonder Woman. Or Rihanna.

Tristan Thompson Goes
Househunting In Calabasas Amid Rumors He Proposed
Posted on Wed Jul 4th, 2018 11:25am PDT By X17 Staff
We have so many questions!
Tristan Thompson went house hunting with a bunch of realtors yesterday
in Calabasas, and either he's looking for his own pad, or he and Khloe
are looking for a new place they can share for a fresh start. We doubt
the reality star would want her baby daddy living under his own roof,
with all the freedom in the world to cheat as he pleases!
A source tells X17:
"Tristan wouldn't say why he was looking at houses, but it was
pretty clear Khloe had sent him out to find places he liked and report
back. She wants him to feel comfortable in LA, and she thinks having him
move into her home makes him feel like he's just a visitor. She wants
to find somewhere where they can establish a home base together, and
decorate together and all of that. This is just another example of her
bending over backwards to make him happy."
The new mom has been wearing some new bling on her ring finger, and
rumor has it the athlete recently popped the question on the down low.
"Tristan gave it to her. She’s being coy about what it stands for, but
everyone assumes it’s an engagement ring. It’s the biggest ring I’ve
ever seen. She is planning a huge party in a few weeks, which she’s
saying is for her birthday, but my guess is that’s when she’ll tell
everyone she’s engaged," a source dished to In Touch.
If they're really engaged, there's good reason she's not shouting it
from the rooftops, too.
"Ninety-nine percent of Khloé’s friends and family are against it.
[Khloe] is determined to have this wedding no matter what. [Kim] might
not even attend. She hasn’t forgiven him for cheating on Khloé while she
was pregnant, and Kim knows he’ll do it again. Kris hates what Tristan
did to Khloé, and she thinks this will end badly," the source added.
Khlo needs to give this some serious thought before walking down the
aisle, if that's her plan! Read more at: http://www.x17online.com/
