At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if she’s fat, and being fat isn’t a bad thing. What matters like another poster said, is her lying about her body size and editing her body to appear slim.
Shaming people for being fat isn’t cool though. There have been studies that have found that people who are shamed for being bigger, feel worse about their bodies and in turn do not make healthier lifestyle choices.
My issue with Lauren is the crazy filtering and editing of her pictures, the lying about surgery, the lying about what she really looks like and the message that sends out.
I think tho, we have to be real to where her behaviour comes from. There’s a huge status quo in our society for all women to live up to, which for a lot of us is looks and weight - both which cater to the male gaze. The pressure is immense to fit into ‘what is attractive’ as a woman.
Lauren definitely isn’t alone in her behaviour, but it is true that people within the public eye, should know better about the messages they put out.
