There was a made-for-TV movie back around 1989 that featured Ricki Lake as a kind of loser girl trying to get a boyfriend (yeah, it was for Valentine's Day). Filmed in Toronto. Throughout three days of shooting, she seemed kind of sad, and her co-star made a very noticeable effort for to cheer her up. I found out why when the movie came out.

The script called for the fattest girl in Hollywood. The movie was a rom-com. Most of the "com" revolved around how fat and unattractive she was, and how unlikely to get a guy like Craig Sheffer.

The next time I saw her on TV after that, she had her own show ... and was amazingly thin. Looked really good, actually, I was impressed.

Yeah, I know why she lost all that weight ...

But the point is, she lost all that weight.

BMI 37: obese. Truth is a sufficient defense against libel.

Is that the Burger King in the background? I didn't know he was in Iraq.

In Islam the husband provides for the family and a woman's money is hers to spend, even if the kids are starving.

But... She's textbook obese. Does she really want to go to court and have that adjudicated?

Complaining about publicity is also publicity, and a whole new audience thanks to our cultural fixation on outrage.

If she were industrious enough she could turn this into a lucrative OnlyFans career taking money from chubby-chasing whales.
