Kate Winslet Slams People Who Body-Shamed Her For ‘Titanic’
Kate Winslet became a global star literally overnight thanks to her performance in ‘Titanic‘. However, there were people who weren’t happy with its ending and hence body-shamed her.
In an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the actress slammed the toxic fans who blamed her weight for Jack’s death. “Apparently I was too fat,” she said.
“Why were they so mean to me? They were so mean. I wasn’t even fucking fat,” she continued. She said that would have told the journalists that her body is changing and she is figuring it out. The Oscar winner actress added, “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.”
Throughout her career, Winslet has been body-shamed by people. In an earlier interview, she was told to settle for “fat girl” parts in acting school.
