Jessica Simpson--attacked about her weight by media

Jessica Simpson has always been know for being a gorgeous Texan beauty, and she has also been constantly criticized about her weight. Jessica has been in the spotlight numerous times for her up and down pounds and she claims that she just loves food and that she is a girl with natural curves. So what will satisfy the media--apparently whatever sells...

When she lost weight for her role as Daisy in the Dukes Of Hazard and after a photographer caught this picture they said that she had an eating disorder and was sickly skinny.


After her breakup with John Mayer, Simpson reportedly gained more weight and after much criticism she lost the weight. Her weight has not been in the spotlight until just recently when unpleasant photos were taken of her at a concert. This was one photo that caused the media to go into a frenzy.


The funny thing is that in this picture the 5'4'' singer is around 132lbs, which is the average and healthy weight for that height! I don't believe that Simpson was criticized fairly by the media, but are celebrities ever? It should be expected that she will receive bad publicity sometimes and if it hurts her feels she should try to brush it off. However, the media is sending the wrong message to young girls, who already have a hard time accepting their own body images. They are either too fat or too skinny. I think the media needs to consider their responsibility and influence over young girls before blitzing a celebrity about trifle things such as their weight.

  1. Who would this "media" be? And why are they being so harsh, do you think?
