“Someone…decided to point out that I need to lose weight,” she said. “You’re not being helpful.”
“When you see somebody who has put some weight on, my first thought is that person is obviously going through some things, because if I could lose the weight and keep it off, I would,” she shared. “But since I haven’t been successful with that my whole entire life, at 61 I’m still dealing with [it].”
The actress continued, “You think I’m not tired of it, lady? Where’s the compassion.”
In the caption of the video, she added, “aren’t we tired of body shaming women yet?! Smh.”
