Jennifer Livingston Addresses Email Bully

ByMoe

CBS-WKBT anchor Jennifer Livingston was sent an email pointing out her weight as a problem and how she should do something about it because she is a public figure. As any fat woman who works on the internet knows this is pretty common place and has become part of the landscape we have to navigate — unfortunately. Jennifer did a wonderful job addressing her bully and honestly I am surprised and impressed the network allowed her to do so. She is a very inspiring force and it has nothing to do with her weight.

Update: Since this video went viral there has been two opposing teams, the first in support of Jennifer and the second in support of the bully who they believe did nothing wrong because he was polite and did not call her names. Michelle from The Fat Nutritionist has the perfect rebuttal for this and it is definitely worth reading regardless of what side you are on.

    Identity Thief

    ByMoe

    One of my favorite comedians / actresses is the incredibly sweet Melissa McCarthy. Last year she stole the show in Bridesmaids and now she has a new movie with the adorable (and equally funny) Jason Bateman called Identity Thief — she’s the thief! First off, I love the red hair. She is so cute… and…
