Unfair Criticism

Recently some pictures of Jennifer Love Hewitt on a Hawaiian vacation with her new fiancé have surfaced. People have been totally bashing her for being fat, and she got upset, went on her blog, and told people how she felt. She wrote that “Like all women out there should, I love my body,” and that “A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful.” She also said that she has “sat by in silence” for too long while women are unfairly criticized about their bodies. She added that “I’m not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image”. She finished by saying “To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini – put it on and stay strong.”



I think really highly of Jennifer Hewitt for making these statements. The world today is way too focused on how much you weigh and whether or not you’re skinny enough. In addition, she is surrounded all the time by some of the skinniest people out there, but she hasn’t let that affect her. First of all, she’s tiny, and even if she’s gotten to a size 2, that’s still tiny. Yet even in the midst of all of this negativity, she still has not let it get her down, and says that she’s more upset for all the other girls out there that are struggling with their bodies. I think that this really shows what kind of person she is and how strong she is. To be able to stand up to all of this criticism is incredible, and the media should leave her alone. She finished her post by encouraging all the girls out there who might not be the skinniest to still be proud of themselves. In today’s world, it is so common for women to be insecure about themselves because the media focuses more on the size of a woman’s body and than their talent. I believe that Jennifer Love Hewitt has really made a difference in at least one person’s life because of her openness to the subject now. I hope that more people will become more sensitive to the subject because it is not fair to treat people differently or high light one’s weight regardless if they are in the public’s eye or not. We should be more focused on what people can, than how they look in a bathing suit.
