I recently had the opportunity to be interviewed by Kate Waterhouse, the reporter who interviewed Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks, and shared my disappointment with Hendricks’s reaction to being called ‘Full Figured.”
Below is the start of Kate’s article in response…
Kate Waterhouse Writes:
Last week I dropped the F-bomb and it went global. No, I didn’t swear – the international media storm was because I called the Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks ”full-figured”.
I asked: ”You have been an inspiration as a full-figured woman; what is the most inspiring story that you can remember?” It seemed inoffensive to me, so I was shocked when she refused to answer the question and told me it was ”just rude”.
Upon my words … who’d have thought Christina Hendricks’s reaction to Kate Waterhouse’s question would go viral. I was not intending to be rude. In fact, I think she is one of the sexiest women on the planet.
What are your thoughts on the word full figure as well as Kate’s use of the word and Christina’s reaction? Share your thoughts below…
