Kate Winslet Reflects on Body Shaming

During a recent interview on '60 Minutes,' Kate Winslet emotionally recounted her experiences with body shaming following the success of 'Titanic.' Winslet reflected on the harsh media scrutiny regarding her weight, describing it as 'absolutely appalling' and highlighting a specific incident where a reporter cruelly critiqued her appearance at the 1998 Golden Globes. She shared that she confronted a critic face-to-face, telling them, 'I hope this haunts you,' which she considers a defining moment not just for herself but for all individuals who face similar harassment. Winslet also recalled being advised in drama school to settle for 'fat girl' roles, which fueled her determination to prove her worth. The actress emphasized the emotional toll of such public scrutiny, stating, 'It was horrific. It was really bad.' Winslet's reflections come as she promotes her latest film, 'Lee,' in which she stars and produces.
