Nicola Mclean: "Obese model portrayed in Gillette advert portrays unhealthy image"
Quote:
The Gillette Venus advert featuring a plus-size model sparked a live TV debate that descended into fat-shaming. The model in the advert, Anna O’Brien, is pictured wearing a bikini on the beach with her arms in the air. Gillette Venus shared the ad with the caption: ‘Go out and slay the day’.
The online responses to the campaign haven’t been kind, and the harsh comments continued offline as it came up for discussion on Jeremy Vine. On Tuesday’s show, host Anne Diamond took a call from a woman who said she used to weigh 34 stone. Admitting that she had been fat-shamed in the past, she added: ‘I’ll be honest, I don’t agree with this advert at all. That’s not plus, that’s super super super super plus and I think she looks disgusting. ‘I used to be bigger than that and again I think it’s unhealthy and I think a lot of people that are super-sized, they won’t admit it but I think there’s a lot of mental health issues behind there.’
She went on: ‘I used to comfort eat, I still comfort eat, I still struggle with my weight. I’m a size 20 at the moment, and it’s not easy but that is not a positive image to be putting out there.’ Anne then went to model and plus size lifestyle blogger Stephanie Yeboah, who said: ‘I think it’s very damaging to shame people into losing weight. ‘I think also, studies have shown that if you try and shame fat people into losing weight it has a detrimental effect.’ Anna, also known as Glitter and Lazers, was praised by Gillette for ‘living out loud’.
They said in a statement: ‘Venus is committed to representing beautiful women of all shapes, sizes, and skin types because ALL types of beautiful skin deserve to be shown. ‘We love Anna because she lives out loud and loves her skin no matter how the “rules” say she should display it.’
