[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone—especially a celeb who has routinely been judged harshly for her appearance—open herself up to criticism by posting bikini pics on social media?

Think about that. What does that say about her? [/quote]

???? Feel like it’s just not that deep. She’s going through a divorce. It’s a new year. People go through stuff. [/quote]

I think this is the kindest thing to say

I did this a few years ago. I lost a whole bunch of weight and after a lifetime of not wanting people to take photos of me, suddenly I was taking selfies and standing inside my 6x pants holding them out being half my size.

But, the thing is, no one really cares by the time you reach a certain age.

Delta Burke, Elizabeth Taylor, Roseanne Barr. Your marketability is your youth.

You can be up and down, but Judy Garland even when she was “chubby” was not the same as when she was thinner later.

The only celebrity I know of who managed to lose a bunch of weight and keep her audience and not lose any fans is Dolly Parton, because she never once threw her body transformation in people’s faces … like, say, on People magazine. She never tried to reinvent herself. She just said some stuff like, “it was the hardest thing I ever had to do, I had to learn to always leave some food on the plate for the angels” and didn’t go into any diatribes about fitness and food and how she “knew the way” and she never marketed anything as some personal fitness product. (Beyond Dollywood, I guess.)[/quote]

This seems a little bit dated. Not sure Elizabeth Taylor or Delta Burke‘s career arc is one people are really looking to in 2026. There’s a lot more women over 40 and even 50 on the scene now.

I don’t think Amy has to worry about losing her audience or gaining a new one at this point in her career. She seems pretty set in terms of an audience regardless of her weight.

It also doesn’t seem like she’s trying to rebrand herself. She’s just showing off her weight loss, but if you go on Instagram, there’s still pictures of her looking decidedly un glam and I doubt she’s going to stop being real in her comedy or portraying relatable messy women in her acting roles.
