When, oh when, will the body-shamers stop?
Rebecca Judd is currently pregnant with twins, so of course her most pressing concern is shutting down crazy rumours about her diet.
Speaking to Kate Waterhouse recently, Judd was forced to refute claims that she regularly skips meals to maintain her slim figure.
“I don’t try to look this way,” she told Date With Kate. “I just do.”
“‘Believe me,” she added. “Nobody has the energy to grow four big, bouncing babies, work a gazillion jobs, run businesses, a household and a family on an empty stomach.”
It’s not the first time Judd has been called out for being too skinny. In fact, her best response probably came from her own blog, Rebecca Judd Loves, when she wrote:
“Healthy comes in all shapes and sizes. Some people are naturally thin, some people are naturally bigger, some people are more athletic in tone, some people have minimal tone. We are all different and we are all NORMAL.”
Amen, Bec. We hope this is the last time you have to defend your figure… but we have a feeling it won’t be.
Bec Judd isn’t the only celebrity who faces body shaming. Watch Michelle Bridges talk about post-baby body pressure on The Project…

When are we allowed to talk about women who starve themselves? I am tired of the term body-shaming being used to shut down genuine talk which puts pressure on women to be exceptionally thin. this is not natural because the shoulders of these women show no fat deposits at all, which is not normal for human women. Too many times these women tell us that they have high metabolism, the truth is they are vain, they put a lot of effort into not putting on weight, again a sign that it is not normal for their body. If this was normal then why are all these women in the vanity industry, we would see these women throughout all walks of life (and we don't). Vanity and stupidity. When you are pregnant you have a responsibility to care about your child/ren not your body image.
Well she's always been on the skinny side..but good luck trying to control your appetite when pregnant with twins - I was RAVENOUS, and while I put on quite a bit of weight, it was all belly and boobs - a beach ball on paddle pop sticks as my husband said. So I'd find it very hard to believe she's deliberately skipping meals. Leave it poor girl alone anyway - her diet and weight is nobody's concern but her own and that of her health care providers.
Look at her mum and sister - they are both also super skinny and toned (and look amazing). I think it's genes!
Lucky them!!
