'Skinny' Website Calls Kate Upton Fat: So True or So Wrong?

When 20-year-old Kate Upton made her debut on the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue this year, men wanted her and women wanted to look like her. Well, except for the people at a website called Skinny Gossip. The "pro skinny" site has slammed the model for having “huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs." Find out what else the site had to say in the video below!



"Is this what American women are 'striving' for now? The lazy, lardy look? Have we really gotten so fat in this country that Kate is the best we can aim for? Sorry, but: eww! Fashion is supposed to be aspirational—and the kind of people who aspire to look like this shop for clothes at Wal-Mart. She looks like she would work in the back of a motorcycle shop in Nashville and give [a sexual favor] for $25."

Whoa! That's pretty harsh! And a big diss to Wal-Mart! According to Gothamist, Skinny Girl responded to the outrage with the following statement: "As a thin person, I was annoyed by our double-standards around weight. For example, people think nothing of telling a thin woman—to their face, in front of an entire group of people—how skinny they are and even to suggest what they should eat." She also says she's not pro-anorexia, even though she's been posting a "Starving Tip Of The Day" for years. Do you think "Skinny" should shut up? Or is she right about Kate Upton?

    really? is this even a serious question? i mean i know that actresses and models keep getting skinnier and skinnier but if that's considered fat then there is something very, very wrong

    There is indeed something very wrong, my friend. It has been very wrong for a long time, and it is only getting worse.

    It's stupid comments like this that puts pressure on girls to starve themselves so they can be "perfect". It going to get to the point where no ones good enough. These people need to shut this website down and reevaluate their life. I'm so over this!

    One really doesn’t see fat women or men in Europe, both east and west, and most of the rest of the world.

    They walk much more than Americans and ride bicycles FAR more than fat-assed Americans.

    You are actually envisioned and associated with the fat-assed, cellulite-assed slobs of the world.

    Ride to-and-fro too much, set on your asses too much, and eat like swine.

    Ride around the parking lot just to find, or get a closer place at work or the market.

    Now I notice most of the hot women for Victory Secrets, and other Super Model type magazines in America are mostly from other countries.
    Hard to find an American that their fat has not ugly-fied up their face and body.

    Besides you have run the gambit of ugliest marrying not so ugliness and vise-versa, which has run out your genetic pool to normal fat and ugly-fied people of the world.

    OK, now, go take that donut break.

    No, that young lady is not fat in the slightest. She is very pretty, though her build is more rectangular than apple shaped or pear shaped, so I wouldn't call her "curvy" in that regard. And no, her thighs are not "huge." And from what I understand some men enjoy the more "tom boy" / big breast look as opposed to the "curvy girl/big butt" look. My husband isn't in that camp, but he would say she is pretty, but not his type.

    why do we need to obsess over women's bodies in this way? the amount of misery, illness and death it all causes. why not put the same amount of energy trying to improve opportunities for the poor, feeding the starving and curing the sick. you're a moron if you think there should be any issue about this woman's weight or anyone for that matter. they are still a person and deserve due respect, whether they're thin or fat, or "normal", as this woman appears to me. if you think she's fat, you really need to go and do something more useful with your life - and start with getting your eyes tested.

    Calling her fat is like calling Harry Reid smart.

    "Skinny" focused websites are fine for those naturally very thin and don't have to go to extremes to maintain their physic. Funny that some of those would get a boob job up a couple of cup sizes for appearance.

    Overall, the "Skinny" mindset is an issue for therapists when normal looking people aasre seen like 400 pounders. It is a wonder any one really pays attention to such extreme propoganda

    We shouldn't be making fun of those who weigh 400 pounds either, but point taken.

    Well, after 6 days at Panama City Florida, at the beach, I can say they may be SHOULD be required to look in a mirror PRIOR to approaching the beach in a 2 piece swimsuit.

    She's not fat, but she's not skinny either. However, she is is too big to ever be a Super-Model or runway model. She won't fit into the size 2 clothes.

    While her abs are not well-defined, she is still an attractive woman with full breasts and a slender body- not athletic, per se, but slender. What would this person have said about Marilyn Monroe?

    No disrespect intended, but why the weird spelling? You have really strong points that are obscured by peculiar spelling of common words.

    I'm not attacking you as a person in any way, but making a critique of your style in making comments. Writing as seen in the first comment gives the impression that this is a person who doesn't care about education, they are just trying to be cool. You're obviously better than that. You don't have to write in a formal way to make comments, just use normal English and your intelligence will shine through! Intelligence is not something to be ashamed of, by the way. I've never understood why some people try to make smart people feel bad for being smart.

    Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize having an amazing athletic, muscular, and curvy was being "fat". That website is clearly run by a bunch of bitchy females that are so skinny they don't even menstrate anymore.
