Exactly. What's more, people choose a life in the public eye, so they are going to get the public commenting on them.

She looks lovely, she looked lovely when she was larger too http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/catherine...-stars-1781641”
Steady on. Yes she looks fine now, and I hadn't noticed she had put much weight on, (just a few pounds maybe.) But she didn't look great before; she looked puffy and bloated and she was obese. She definitely did NOT 'look lovely.'
And as someone said earlier in the thread............

She IS always carping on about her weight loss and how great she thinks she looks now, so if she regains her weight, then she must expect people to comment.
And male celebrities DO get the same kind of scrutiny from the media. People only seem to moan when it's a female celebrity being bashed though, and go on about this myth that it's only ever females who get slagged off.
