Hey curvy besties! Can we talk about the best fatphobia fightbacks from your favorite celebrities? They’re necessary and so liberating! Why do people feel they have the right to comment on our bodies? Wild, right? That’s why it’s time to celebrate those who fight back fiercely and skillfully. Body shaming is everywhere – from online trolls, unsolicited advice from strangers, and even so-called friends. But some people just don’t take it lying down.
These epic rebuttals to fatphobic comments are nothing short of legendary, so let’s applaud the bravery and courage of those who made the best fatphobic rebuttals on our ranking.
1. Lizzo
The queen of body positivity, Lizzo, never slows down. She’s endured body-shaming comments for years, so we can’t help but love every time she fights back.
“Listen, I’ve been working out for the last five years. You might be surprised to hear that I’m not working out to get everyone’s dream body. I’m working out to get my dream body,” she said in the video. “You know what that body is? It’s none of your business.”
2. Gabourey Sidibe
When haters criticized the dress she wore to the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, Gabourey Sidibe fired back with the best tweet: “Baby! Haters would never do that!” Sidibe’s sass is the perfect reminder that success speaks louder than “keyboard warrior” hate.
“To all the mean comments about my GG photo, I definitely cried about it last night on a private jet on my way to my dream job.”
3. Chrissy Metz
Chrissy Metz stunned in a red latex dress at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards. When body critics attacked her, she fought back hard, so it was no surprise she made it onto our list of the best fatphobe fightbacks.
“Just a reminder, I wear what I want, when I want. Newsflash, it’s my body. #thankyou,” Metz tweeted.
4. Sam Smith
During the interview The Sunday TimesSam Smith has opened up about his struggles with body dysmorphic disorder amid constant public scrutiny, and it’s hard to ignore the overwhelming negativity directed at them online.
“I was embarrassed every time I went to the pool, but I forced myself to take my shirt off,” Smith said. “It worked, and now I’m the opposite of body dysmorphic disorder. I look amazing. I’ve finally got a tan. I’m tanning in places I’ve never tanned before.”
5. Rihanna
This next one is hilarious! I don’t know why people make fun of Rihanna knowing that she will fight back. The infuriating and unfounded pregnancy speculation started again when Rihanna was criticized about her body after her performance at the 2018 Grammy Awards. Known for her bold responses, Rihanna didn’t hold back and fired back at her body critics with a witty Instagram meme.
The meme humorously states, “If you can’t stand me in 2007 Gucci Mane, you don’t deserve to stand me in 2017.” Not only did the backlash silence the critic, it also highlighted the absurdity of judging someone’s body type.
6. Barbie Ferreira
In the hit series Euphoria, Barbie Ferreira’s character, Kat Hernandez, responds to comments about the lack of inclusivity in our society, which can be very stressful for those who don’t fit this unrealistic standard.
“Wearing a crop top is not something extreme for me,”I’m not pregnant.” Star explained: “[Comments like those are] “It’s just a sarcastic compliment. I’ve been doing this since I was 16. I’m 25,” she said. WhoWhatWear.
These five epic fightbacks rank as the best fight backs against fatphobia, showing that standing up to body shaming is not only empowering, but necessary. It’s time to celebrate those who fearlessly defeat fatphobic antics with wit, confidence, and unapologetically self-love. Celebrate your body and don’t let anyone tarnish your glow.
