Katie Price continues to spark concern as she shows off her very slim legs in new video
KATIE Price has continued to spark concern, as she showed off her very slim legs in her latest video. Fans have recently become worried about the former glamour model's shrinking frame in her social media posts. 5 5 Over the last few months Katie, 47, has appeared slimmer than ever. In her latest video, the mum-of-five can be seen modelling her latest outfit. The paisley playsuit she was wearing looked baggy on her small frame, and her legs looked tiny. Writing next to the video, she said: "Rainy Sundays at home 🤎🤎 outfit," Fans were quick to comment on the video, with one saying: "You look beautiful but your legs are so tiny." While another added: "Omg your legs babe you need to put on weight." WEIGHTY ISSUE Katie recently hit back at fans who have said she is "too skinny" by filming herself being filmed. The mum-of-five, believed to be 5ft 4in tall, showed her weight as 7st 12lb. Katie Price admits she's facing being made homeless as she can't find a guarantor for new rented property days before moving Attempted to put fears to rest, Katie said in the recent video : "Everyone is so obsessed with my weight. This is what I weigh. That. That is what I weigh." However, with the combined weight of her 2120cc breast implants removed - which are thought to weigh around 4.87lb each - her implant-free body is closer to 7st 2lb. That puts her BMI at 17.2 which is below the healthy range and in the underweight category (18.5 and under). It also sees Katie dangerously close to being classed as moderately underweight, a sub-category defined by the World Health Organization as a BMI below 17. 5 The podcaster previously tried to shut down fears over her weight loss, saying she decided to slim down after a long-standing foot injury and attempts at IVF made her put on weight. Speaking on her Snapchat in May, Katie said: "Yes I've lost weight. "Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. "Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. "So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." Some fans have asked Katie whether she has taken popular weight loss jabs to shed the pounds. However the star, who has been open in the past about procedures she's gone through, has strongly denied it.

Social Media Users Blast Lizzo For Slamming 'Thin Presenting' People Who Criticize 'Bigger Bodies'
Actor and singer Lizzo has once again sparked intense controversy among fans over weight and body image. In a new video shared online, the "Juice" performer shared her thoughts on "thin-presenting" people who allegedly shame those with "bigger bodies," essentially telling them to stay in their lane. In a passionate clip shared on TikTok, Lizzo opened up once again about body image and said she felt called to address this because she's someone who really "cares about people." She then took aim at "thin-presenting" people who she feels have a need to criticize those in "bigger bodies." "It's not your place to criticize how they choose to live in that body, how they choose to change that body, and it's not your place to criticize how they share that experience on the internet or with anyone," she said. Lizzo also singled out those who have lost weight and now speak negatively about others with bigger bodies, calling their behavior "inappropriate." She stated, "You of all people should understand that bodies change." On TikTok, many users agreed with Lizzo and praised the "About D-mn Time" singer for "educating people on body acceptance." Another user chimed in, offering a broader perspective. "It's no one's 'place' to speak on anyone — big or skinny," they wrote. "The entire conversation around body positivity tiptoes pessimism [and] projection." There were some users, however, who disagreed with Lizzo's message completely, and they were determined to make their voices heard. Still, on TikTok, one user shared their experience as someone in a smaller body, explaining that they also receive hurtful messaging from people in "bigger bodies." "Telling me I need to eat more still hurts," they shared. "People in smaller bodies get body shamed just as much as people in 'bigger bodies.'" On Instagram, users shared similar responses, with several blasting Lizzo for making her "whole identity" about "her body." Someone else wrote, "Thin presenting? Like her whole career finna be bout weight?" Another fan challenged Lizzo, telling her that if she posts her life on the internet, she's giving users access to comment. "You're making it everybody's business and people will judge it," they wrote. "That's the nature of social media." Lizzo's own significant weight loss over the last several years provides context for the current debate, as she has showcased her journey every step of the way. In the past, she's been accused of using the weight-loss drug Ozempic; however, she denied the claims, saying she works her "a-s off." Her trainer, Shaun T, known for popular fitness videos like "Insanity," also slammed trolls who accused her of using Ozempic, calling the claims "wildly annoying." "I think that generally people think because now something is available and popular, they're not going to give people props. People would rather hate before they give people props," he said. Shaun-T then celebrated Lizzo's fitness journey and her ability in the gym. "I have trained Lizzo. Like, I have worked out with her, I have danced with her. Lizzo is very fit," he said. "People think, like, just because someone's like a quote-unquote plus size person ... they're not fit." As Shaun-T continued, he shared a message similar to the one Lizzo shared in her TikTok above. "The second thing I want to say, which is absolutely important, is for people to mind your business," he stated. "Because the people who are actually talking about, 'Oh my gosh, that person's using Ozempic,' you're probably not even working out. And the people who are working out, most of them are like, 'Cool, if they are using Ozempic, I hope that they're eating healthy,' or something like that." Lizzo, on the other hand, didn't seem bothered by the claims during a previous interview, admitting that she was being very "intentional" about her weight loss and wasn't focused on looking a specific way. "Even at the end of my weight-loss journey, I'm not going to be considered thin by any means," Lizzo explained. "I will still be considered morbidly obese on the BMI. But I will be happy."

‘What happened?': Decade long reality Lena Dunham hasn't been able to escape
Lena Dunham is back in the public eye, and all these years later, her weight is still a conversation. The 39-year-old was just 24 when her critically acclaimed show Girls debuted on HBO in 2012. It instantly cemented itself as a grittier version of Sex and the City. The show followed four privileged women in their early 20s, who were often unlikeable, rarely had good sex and certainly weren't glitzy or aspirational. It wasn't just must-see television, but after every episode aired, a new cultural debate would erupt about everything from abortion to consent. Dunham was the showrunner, the star, and mastermind behind the success, but instead of her body of work being discussed, it was her body that made the most headlines. She was in her early 20s at the time and her weight and body were dissected, scrutinised and criticised throughout the show's six seasons. At some point, there was even some disturbing online discourse that Dunham wasn't attractive enough for it to be believable that she was dating the men she cast as her love interests on the show. For years, the commentary on Dunham's body was treated almost like a sport. She was too thin, or too fat, or not thin enough in the right places, or not the right body shape; it was endless. It would have been immeasurably tough on Dunham, who was just in her 20s at the time, and the ultimate irony was that she always looked great. It was also tough on any woman who read anything cruel about Dunham's body because most women look more like Dunham than a Hadid sister. It became bizarrely normal in pop culture for Dunham to be torn apart physically. After the show wrapped, and following a public breakup with producer Jack Antonoff, known for his work with Taylor Swift and Lorde, Sabrina Carpenter. Dunham took a break from the spotlight, moving to London, where she married indie musician Luis Felber and she has carved out a quieter life for herself. She has worked mostly behind the camera, including on the critically acclaimed coming-of-age film Catherine Called Birdy. At the moment, she's back in the spotlight again, promoting her new Netflix show Too Much, which she wrote and directed, and stars as a supporting character. Once again her weight is back to being a discussion. Between 2012 and 2025, we saw the rise of the body positivity movement, which then morphed into the body neutral movement. For a second there it seemed like we were getting somewhere. One of the most famous models in the world is Ashley Graham, who is plus-size, and singer Lizzo was also leading the charge of self-love. Fast-forward to now, and Lizzo's been partly cancelled and is on a weight loss journey; body neutrality has fallen by the wayside and has been replaced with the thinness epidemic. Most women in Hollywood have become so gaunt that they all kind of look the same, but we can't really say anything because that would be shaming women. For god sake even low-rise jeans are back. Just as Dunham re-emerged back into the spotlight, we're back at square one. Dunham told the New Yorker that the reason she's playing a supporting cast member instead of the star of her new show, Too Much, is because she wasn't ready to open herself up to being body-shamed. 'Physically, I was just not up for having my body dissected again. It was a hard choice,' she said. Similarly, in a profile with Variety, Dunham claimed body-shaming in Hollywood is 'pretty inevitable' in 2025, and not much has improved since she first became famous in 2012. 'Just because I've become used to it for myself. Doesn't mean that I feel comfortable about it for anyone else,' she added. 'I have been in Hollywood at every size. I have been a sample size, I have had my body change because of life, illness, ageing, menopause and it is merciless wherever you are.' So there you go. It has been over a decade since Dunham first became famous, and under a TikTok I just watched of her promoting the new show, someone commented, 'What happened to Lena Dunham?' A clear crack at her weight gain. The real question is what happened to the culture? Why are we going backwards instead of forwards, and why the hell are we still talking about Dunham's weight? It has been a decade and we've learned nothing.

A woman wondered if she was in the wrong for walking out of a family dinner after her husband made a comment about her weight in front of his family The woman was getting a second helping of dinner when her husband noted that she has "been really enjoying food lately" Now he claims she overreacted by leaving, but Reddit users don't agreeA 30-year-old woman is unsure she made the right choice walking out of dinner after her husband made a snide comment about her weight. In a since-deleted Reddit post, the woman shares that she and her 33-year-old husband recently went to his parents' house for a family dinner with his sister. They were enjoying the night and having a good time until the woman went to get a "second helping" of dinner. "Outta nowhere he goes, 'Careful babe, you've been really enjoying food lately,'" she recalls, noting that he said it in front of "everyone." While the woman tried to laugh off the joke, she "was dying" on the inside. "Then this man goes, 'What? You said you wanted to drop weight before summer, I'm just helping,'" she adds. The woman then put her fork down, grabbed her things, and "straight up left." Her husband didn't follow her as she went home. 'Now he's salty saying I embarrassed him and 'made it a big deal.' His mom texted me saying he was just joking and I overreacted,' the woman shares. However, it 'felt super disrespectful" to her, and now she is wondering if she was justified.

'The joke was bad enough, but then he doubled down on his bad behavior by being salty and then had his mommy call you. He was a jerk," another added. "If this is a one-off, you can work through it, but if this has happened prior to this, you may want to rethink things." Read the original article on People
