[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we do this with men and their obvious hair transplants?

I'm just being facetious. Women, stop tearing other women down! Seriously, what's with it?[/quote]

Please start a new thread.  We absolutely can - I am interested.

Also this idea that we must support everything a woman does is nonsense.  I have no idea where it came from.[/quote]

Absolutely agree we don’t have to support everything a woman does. [b]But I’m still confused why people are mad about Mindy  losing weight. [/b]

Shrug. I honestly don’t care so no need to explain. Just pointing out the difference between supporting “everything a woman does” vs being upset (and clearly some people are) that some women lose weight or take meds or whatever. Truly don’t get it. [/quote]

NO ONE CARES she lost weight. Jesus. People don't like being gaslit and lied to. Opposite end of the spectrum? All of the heroin chic emaciated models in the 90s and aughts who SWORE they ate like lumberjacks wolfing down hamburgers and fries like they were headed to the electric chair when it comes out they were living on cocaine (I was going to say coke or blow or snow but this is DCUM) champagne and swallowing orange juice soaked cotton balls to stay satiated.

The public  sort of...got over this overt lying. People wisened up. She's using an old PR playbook and people don't buy it someone with a lifelong weight issue all of a sudden loses a ton of weight after three kids in their 40s and 20 years of success and money to pay for the best Hollywood could offer? It's disingenuous.

I actually really like her and love her work. I also think she is pretty self loathing. And that makes her in some way relatable! And she is smart. I honestly don't care aboit the number on her scale but she's kind of toxic from a PR standpoint because of how she views her own self worth and body if that makes sense?[/quote]

First, some people clearly from this thread absolutely care that she lost weight.

But yes, I understand your point that lying is annoying. I think it’s a little overboard to call out a celebrity for “gaslighting” you. These aren’t personal relationships though 
I agree it’s a little annoying. But it’s  also just not our business.

I also feel like this is very much a moment in time. In 5 to 10 years, assuming these drugs are still safe and effective, we won’t even probably be asking or wondering. It’ll just be a given and some people will continue to talk about their experiences and others won’t.

I’ll say one more thing, on the flipside I get annoyed with how honest celebs are about sone of these unproven anti-aging fads. I was just listening to a podcast where Chelsea Handler list a ton of peptides she’s taking and swears by them. The truth is we really don’t know the long-term effects of peptides or if they’re even working. She admitted she was obsessed with them, but was doing so many other anti aging procedures she couldn’t pinpoint why she looked good to any one thing. I just feel like it’s irresponsible for celebrities sometimes to taut the benefits of these things. The weight loss drugs seem safe and effective, but the jury is still out in the long-term.
