Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy has had to contend with the unfortunate reality of many interviewers feigning concern for her health while publicly critiquing her weight on live television. The irony lies in that if they were genuinely concerned, they could have engaged in discussions about her size during the ample backstage moments in hair and makeup.

It's noticeable that such conversations always wait until there's an audience. McCarthy, however, doesn't buy into this narrative, as she passionately asserts, "My message is that, as long as everybody's healthy, enjoy and embrace whatever body type you have."
