On point, JLaw.


Let's just put this out there. When a person is famous, the love from his or her fans can be great, but so does the hate and it could be even greater.


Let's talk about the most "overrated" celebrity in our world right now and who could that be none other than the one and only Jennifer Lawrence.

You might find this article a little biased because I am one of those fans. I admire her attitude as much as I enjoy her work but I'll try my best to keep this neutral.

I've read a couple of articles lately, talking about the hypocrisy of JLaw. One of the factors that really shocked me was how people reacted to the fact that she is skinny, therefore promoting the idea of that "being a size of 10 was okay" made her a two faced bitch.

LOL.

People, people. While you were busy pointing out each and every one of her mistakes, you missed out on the big picture. I salute her for being brave enough to come out and say that "No. Skinny isn't a goal. What's wrong with being fat" And just because she isn't obese, it doesn't make her statement any less valid.

During the Kate Moss era, girls all around the world used "Nothing tastes better than skinny feels" as their life motto, constantly cutting down on calorie and sugar intake that it indirectly harmed their bodies too. Did anyone think about that? I guess not. Which was why society has become so obsessed with the idea of being skinny is the only exception, that it discriminated many girls for not being able to fit in.

And how is that fair to everyone?

Jennifer, being one of the many stars in our generation to bravely go against that mindset has earned my full respect. Along with her weird and strange personality, it made her even more loveable because she proved that being different isn't wrong and as well as it worked for her, being different could also earn you the spotlight and as well as an Academy award.

Just to be clear, I have no hate towards Kate Moss. Her unique statement that sparked a trend worldwide isn't wrong either. It was her opinion and I have no rights to go against it. Being skinny is okay and so is being fat. If you want to work out and feel good about eating salads everyday, who are we to say you're wrong? Similarly, if you were born with a tastebud so adventurous that you love food with a passion, who is to say it is a crime?

People should never be discriminated or judged based on the way they look. Our shape and colour will never be as important as what's in our brains. Remember that. We don't have a say in how our face comes together before we were born so why should we even be ashamed of it?

That was JLaw's point. She believes that no matter what size you are, as long as you are human, you are entitled to the rights of any man.
