2007 Maxim ‘Unsexiest Women’ List Resurfaces, Sparking Online Outrage

A controversial 2007 Maxim magazine article titled 'Unsexiest Women Alive' has resurfaced and sparked backlash online for its harsh and sexist commentary on five female celebrities. Sarah Jessica Parker topped the list, with the magazine mocking her for being the 'least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women' despite starring in 'Sex and the City.' Other celebrities named included Amy Winehouse, Sandra Oh, Madonna, and Britney Spears, all criticized for their appearances and personal struggles in a tone now widely regarded as mean-spirited and toxic. The article’s resurfacing has led to widespread condemnation on social media, with many users and commentators calling out the body-shaming and offensive language. Sarah Jessica Parker herself had previously responded to the list, expressing shock and questioning the standards used. The incident highlights changing cultural attitudes toward media portrayals of women and the increased rejection of such derogatory content.
