It's the double standards that gets me. She being overweight expects nothing but compliments and an insistence that men change their preferences. We all know there is no body positive movement for men and that a man with a beer gut would be told in no uncertain terms to hit the gym and get fit with zero tolerance for any divergence from that advice.
There also appears to be a push to paint criticism of a woman as misogyny but not the other way round.
There is a theory that women might be complimenting her as a form of intrasexual competition because men generally don't want overweight women and keeping her overweight is one less woman to compete against. If anything, the body acceptance movement could be one large intrasexual competition play.

One thing is for sure , women are conniving and manipulative and love nothing more than to talk shit behind peoples backs
I'd say your theory is spot-on.
The one time in my office we had a temp-worker come in whom was unobjectively attractive, and ever other woman in the office lost their goddamn minds.
Moreso than normal, that is.
The kicker was, she wasn't even that pretty. She looked good, yeah, and could actually rock it with skin-tight jeans, but she wasn't going for obvious sex appeal or the like. She just looked good and dressed well, and all the other older and/or fat women couldn't fucking stand it.
