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.
