[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]omg, it is her right and her choice to pretend she lost weight without glps. there is still a 0.0001% chance she didn't use it. get over it![/quote]

I feel conflicted about this because they literally make millions of dollars by keeping people interested in their lives and selling products (through sponsored ads) based on people trusting that the celeb is being honest and authentic. Even Mindy has so many sponsored posts on Insta. 
So it feels a bit disingenuous but I guess that is all of influencer / insta / tik tok life.[/quote]

You have to let that go. Do you really think that Jennifer Garner looks the way she does because of Neutrogena, or because of whatever crappy hair product she sells?

Do you really think Jen Aniston looks like that because of pvolve? These people have so much going on with them behind the scenes that we never know and we just get seduced into thinking of I use this face washer if I use the shampoo… It just doesn’t work like that and it’s not really celebrities fault - we are in a consumer culture and they’re not even necessarily lying that they like the product. But there’s so much more that goes into their skin and hair care routine or fitness or weight management routine that it’s silly for anyone to be persuaded by that.[/quote]

I was saying that it doesn’t make sense to expect people to be extremely interested in one part/ time of your life (the time that you’re selling things very publicly) and not have any interest at other times (when you want them to give you privacy), not that it’s disingenuous to lie to sell products.

[b]Products? Like books and movies? What other TV show producers do you expect this from?[/b]

My guess is that Mindy’s popularity came from being like someone’s funny, less popular, slightly plump friend. It irks that she’s not slightly pump and at time many women are losing their looks and gaining weight.

You've clearly never seen her Instagram over the past few years. I followed because I liked her and had to ditch it because of how totally insufferable it was with the non stop shilling of seemingly ANY product at all sent to her that was frankly kind of embarrassing to watch and seemed below someone of her wealth, talent, and stature. "Buy these vajajay wipes! I use clorox on my counters! Here is a random supplement for regularity and perfect poops! Ever tried Wheat Thins? I haven't used this sunscreen yet but let me unbox it and show it to you...go buy it!" Just a total barrage of ads like a low level wannabe influencer.[/quote]

None of the products you mention really answer my question, though. Why do you need to know about her weight loss because she hawks Clorox and everything else. Do you expect that of every person hawking Clorox?[/quote]
DP. Mindy also began hawking bikinis post weight loss. So does seem relevant. [/quote]
