13 Times The Media Brainwashed Us Into Thinking These '00s Celebs And Characters Were "Fat"

In response to Caroline Moss' tweet, @britneyqueers_ pointed out how supposed fans of the film body-shamed Kate Winslet following the release of Titanic in 1997. It wasn't just fans who made fun of Kate's supposed "fatness" though, with director James Cameron famously using the nickname "Kate Weighs-a-lot" to refer to the actor.

In 2022, Kate spoke about the "borderline abusive" body-shaming she received at the time, saying, "Apparently, I was too fat. Why were they so mean to me? They were so mean. I wasn't even fucking fat. I would have said to journalists, I would have responded, I would have said, 'Don't you dare treat me like this. I'm a young woman, my body is changing, I'm figuring it out, I'm deeply insecure, I'm terrified, don't make this any harder than it already is.' That's bullying, you know, and actually borderline abusive, I would say."
