When Jay Mohr essentially called Alyssa Milano too heavy for her size after having a baby, we thought his body-shaming was a result of one of two things:
Either he’s blind – because gurl is looking fantastic! – or he’s just talking out of his a** to get attention!
But the comic has come forth with his hat in his hand and his foot out of his mouth with a third option. He tweeted:
' @perezhilton @alyssa_milano She's stunning. I mistakenly thought the absurdity of what I was saying would have ben taken as a joke. #fail

So “fat-shaming”, as she put it, a girl as great-looking as Alyssa was such an absurd comment that it couldn’t be taken as anything, but facetiousness?
We’ll give Jay the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t MEAN to be mean. Comedy is tough, and not every joke gets across, especially in print where you can’t always hear sarcasm.
But Jay, you’ve been happily married for seven years! You’re telling us that joking about a woman’s weight has EVER worked out for ya? And a mother’s weight at that??
We sincerely hope Alyssa accepts the apology; forgiveness is good for the soul. But still, you should know better, Jay.
