Default Why the media need to stop body shaming cheryl

Quote:
Since the beginning of The X Factor 2015 auditions this July, all there has been is constant body shaming of, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, from the media, and this has led to trolls online bullying the petite Geordie over her naturally slim frame.

The kind hearted singer, has had to put up with constant bullying from trolls and the press, who think it’s OK to skinny shame her at every opportunity.

The pretty star has always been slim, and if you look at photos from last years X Factor, you can see her figure hasn’t changed, the only change is in her eyes, which now sparkle with happiness.

The media seem to think that because she is a celebrity it is fine to bully her, well it’s not, just because someone is in the public eye, it doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings, at the end of the day we are all human.

Nobody deserves to be bullied everyday over what they look like, or what shape their body is, it’s nobodies business as to what dress size a person is.

You can tell, Cheryl, is healthy and happier than ever, so everyone needs to stop the body shaming.

Cheryl, is gorgeous just the way she is, she is not only stunning on the outside but she has a heart of gold, and earlier this year she set up her own charity called the, Cheryl’s Trust, to help disadvantaged and unemployed young people, get their lives on track.

Pretty interesting article and I fully agree with it.

I don't think the article states anything a normal person shouldn't be aware of already. It's pretty disgusting and it makes me lol at overweight people on facebook constantly sharing "I'm not fat, I'm curvy" type posts yet they mock her for being "too thin". Yes, she looks gaunt but you wouldn't take the piss out of an underweight family member so why people feel the need to do so towards her/other celebrities is beyond me.

I agree,double standards

she says she's healthy and others who know her says she's healthy and eating loads and she still gets slack and bullied over it. The HIV joke was actually too far.

I think she looks ill tbh. I don't think she was always as thin as she is now. But, she was always thin, so even losing 10 lbs can make a big difference...

I'm fat, so I can stand to lose 10 lbs, but for a skinny person, it can be the difference between looking well and looking unwell..

Agreed. I think it's a shame people attack any celebrity, but that's the nature of the beast and I'm sure we've all been guilty of it at some point or another "oh I hate them" or "they're so annoying" - we don't know them, we never will, a lot of what we dislike about them is exaggerated by the media and if we knew them in real life we probably wouldn't say these things. Cheryl visibly HAS lost a lot of weight, certainly around her face, and she doesn't look healthy. She doesn't. I don't know how anyone can dispute that. I hope it's just a temporary thing and she puts a little bit of weight on again, she's a beautiful woman and it's not nice to think that she might have an underlying health problem and people are making fun of her.

I mean while I agree the trolling and 'omg she looks disgusting' stuff is actually pathetic and mean I do think some of the press and comments are from people genuinely concerned about how dramatic her weight loss is, in some episodes of TXF she honestly looked ill to me, I am not being a bitch when I say it because I have had weight issues and been called nasty names for being overweight and underweight myself so I do have sympathy but because of how much her features have changed it was bound to be a talking point really

You can tell, Cheryl, is healthy and happier than ever, so everyone needs to stop the body shaming.

--

Happier maybe, but sorry she does not look healthy recently.

Also I see the media attention as no different to how the mags get in a spin if someone gains a couple of pounds Unfortunately when you work in the spotlight, the media take a rather unhealthy interest in every aspect of your life.

She doesn't look too bad. Most of the pictures I've seen going around on Facebook are untimely shots and bad angles like Demi's one a couple of months ago and more recently.

Saying that, I can't blame people for thinking she's unhealthy. Perhaps they just need to show their concern in a nicer way.

I think in a way, its good that the media is focusing on the fact that it's not a good look, because otherwise, young girls (and some guys) would think that she looks fine and healthy when in reality... she just doesn't.

This is the first time I've ever thought that someone looks too skinny... It's weird, I've always thought that skinny girls were really attractive (hip bones just do something to me... anyway) and now it makes me feel a little ill and a little sad. She doesn't look healthy and she doesnt look happy, And to be totally honest, I think she's on something and I am a little worried for her (even though i dont care for her at all)

She looks visibly ill,imo,she is not a healthy thin,she looks skeletal,I don't like the woman but have to admit in her Girls Aloud days she looked pretty and healthy She needs someone to tell her and advise her instead of all the money hungry enablers she has around her.
