Julia Morris did what thousands do on the internet every day. So why did everyone get out their magnifying glasses?
Comedian, actor and all-round top bird posted a picture of herself on Instagram this week. She was wearing an awesome purple bikini. She also tagged Grey Goose vodka in the pic, so we lol’d (and became uncontrollably thirsty).
We see a cool woman in a great bikini. But some people didn’t see what we see.
Some people became uncomfortably obsessed with the scars on her tummy, accusing her of having had gastric lapband surgery (which is not anything to be ashamed about, so as an accusation, it’s a bit odd).

"And ruminating that someone has had ANY medical procedure is never ok." yet every media outlet does. Person X has had plastic surgery. Person Y is undergoing gender reassignment surgery. Person A had a botched surgery.
And why is it "never okay" to speculate if someone has had medical procedure? Honestly? Are we really all so sensitive that weren't not allowed? If anything, I think it's important to recognise when someone's looks have been achieved by surgeries, to keep perspective on what the natural norm is - otherwise you'll end up with young women thinking they're freaks for having small boobs and wrinkles.
I've had multiple people suggest I've had breast implants (I haven't) - I take it as a complement that they look so high, firm and round that people would think that. If people find it offensive they need to get perspective.
I agree Alice!! Its really not that big of a deal!
Agree wholeheartedly about not having to explain surgeries, any of them, hope you'll apply the same principle the next time there is an issue of someone who someone thinks has had plastic surgery, but that someone is not owning up to it ...
