But the fact that this thread is full of a bunch of people body shaming Zendaya is ridiculous. She's a beautiful woman and is not "emaciated" (do you actually know what that means? She does not have the muscle tone or bulk of a professional athlete because, uh, she's not a professional athlete.

But people love an excuse to rip on a gorgeous thin woman, don't they?


Have you seen her pictures? She looks like she lost 20 pounds. She has always been quite thin and attractive. She is way off her baseline adult weight.

You are the one who seems confused.

Yes the movie was miscast.
Yes zendaya looks unhealthy.

I would not want my daughters seeing her like this and accolading anything about it.

I don’t think she looks emaciated. I’m mid-50s tennis player with same build (but only 5’4”). Fair number of ladies on my USTA team are also petite.

What I noticed is that her form (meaning, tennis technique) leaves a lot to be desired. My coach would have a field day with her trying to correct her form.

In your dreams, do you, a menopausal woman, have the same build as Zendaya. Lol.

Like I said, I’m not as tall as her, but otherwise yes.

Not everyone middle age is obese. Go to any USTA league match or tennis club and you will see lots of very fit women with similar body shape.

She’s not fit. She’s skin and bones. I don’t think she could run two miles- zigzagging a court or on a trail.

I live in a great tennis, golf, dance community too but know the difference between emaciated and lithe, lean, and in healthy shape.

No one’s talking about obese people. Oh the delusion to compare your 55 year old mom body to a 27 year old IT girl.

Maybe she’s Asian.

Asians are super skinny and long torsos sometimes.

When you are obese, you think everyone who is a normal weight is emaciated and unhealthy. Look at photos of POWs or anorexics..they are emaciated. This IT girl is not. It’s you who has deluded yourself into thinking fat is healthy (and, therefore, everyone fit is unhealthy).

I’m not Asian, but I do play tennis with/against a lot of Asian women. Many of them extremely talented tennis players. Also, many of them with same build as Zendaya.
