Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson's journey in the public eye has been one long lesson in the impossible standards women face regarding their appearance. When she first gained fame on American Idol, she was criticized for being "too large."

After giving birth to her son, Jennifer chose to lose weight for health reasons, only for the media to turn around and criticize her for becoming "too small." It seems like no matter what Jennifer does, she can't win when it comes to her body, a reality far too common for women in the spotlight.
