As we reported earlier, Marie Claire blogger Maura Kelly wrote a harsh post demeaning people who are overweight. And Sharon Osbourne is not happy about it.
Here’s an excerpt from the post on Marie Claire:
├óΓé¼┼ôI think I’d be grossed out if I had to watch two characters with rolls and rolls of fat kissing each other … because I’d be grossed out if I had to watch them doing anything. To be brutally honest, even in real life, I find it aesthetically displeasing to watch a very, very fat person simply walk across a room…├óΓé¼┬¥
Sharon Osbourne let loose on The Talk earlier today:
“This woman [blogger Maura Kelly] is a discredit to other women… I am now cancelling my subscription to the magazine. I am so close to tears. If this woman was here I’d tell you she would get such a mouthful from me. People like this are adding to the problem that we have today with our kids, boys and girls, about being anorexic, having low self-esteem. How dare she.”
She continued:
“I’m 30 pounds overweight right now. Should I not be allowed to kiss my husband? Or my children or walk across a room? This is no better than Nazi Germany saying that everybody should be tall, slim, blonde with blue eyes. And that’s the way I feel. How dare they.”
We think Sharon is right. Kelly’s comments were uncalled for and cruel. Marie Claire needs to take action!
