  • She's well spoken.

  • So sad that what Howard Stern (and a lot of people) predicted happenned: She hasn't gotten any other big-screen offers post-Precious. Hollywood definitely has a problem with black women, especially overweight black women. SO in spite of her Oscar nod and all the accolades, she is basically back to obscurity...

  • She is such a wonderful person, and you can see in all her interviews, the people interviewing her actually have a good time interviewing her.

    Follow me @effinkimmie on twitter.

  • daaaaammmmnnnn i didnt know she was 26...i thought she was 19 or 20

  • Comment removed

  • @astrophysicist40 She was a great act in the movie that's why. Maybe if everyone wasn't an asshole more people would have chances to get great roles like her. And her pure talent is what allowed her to be in the limelight not necessarily the stereotypically desired figure. And for the record you really have no love or liking of her if you really are such an asshole as to say she looks like a gorilla. Really fake.

  • @xHuntedGunzPCGx

    She hasn't done shit in a year other than small roles b/c she is NOT attractive & obviously has NO concern for her health since she STILL remains a lard ass with NO obvious change to how large her semi-sized ass is. Why expose the movie-going audience to someone who has no visible concern for her health when children are impressionable & will learn that it's ok to sit on their ass & suck down fried chicken & small children all day.

    This girl has as much talent as a brick.

  • @USRecovery2kX Not every movie star is on the more so average weight/fit side. The majority are but there are a number of successful extremely overweight movie stars. So trying to pull the influence card is completely pointless. She got the role and pulled it off well. Her talent is not comparable to that of a brick. It sounds like you need to calm down a bit....all that rage.

  • man shes beautfiful i ♥ her!

  • who is/was her boyfriend?

  • @meancreek is*

    in another interview she said she had a guy friend who now is her boyfriend! =)

  • Will they be making Precious 2?

  • @MzLaLaLove yeah, I wasn't saying anything bad. I was defending pretty1185.... I didn't say anything bad about mexicans or latinos

  • I uploaded all the parts to Precious. Click on my channel to watch them. =)

  • 26??? i thought she was 19!! aww

  • she seems sooo sweet but she needs to loose weight..it's extremely unhealthy!

  • Umm... I'm just reading pretty1185 and jeffieboi's comments, and wow!! Jeffieboi, you're a racist bitch! U don't know how bad ur making urself sound! Nothing is wrong with nexicans! Intact, nexicans are AWESOME! I don't know what your beef is with them, but I suggest u stop being so racist. And pretty1185, ur awesome for standing up for your race/ethnicity! Don't let assholes like him bother you!

  • @philip2cool1108 Im Latina and I LOVE GABOUREY SiDiBE! <3

  • im reading these comments, and sum are good , sum are not, i just dont get why people are so judgemental on another persons weight,,, why do yall point out the obvious, ''shes FAT''' omg we never knew, thank god we have you to tell us, are u serious, we can fuckin see idiots, even thin people linger in weight, not everyone is 45 kilograms, everyone lingers, everyones different, you really think you will in the future hav the same body as you once did,,,,,get over yourselves Ftards

  • shes my favorite :D

  • She is always laughing! Lol she is cute i can't believe she is 27! She is half a African American and half Senegalese

  • @11940ful hahaha SO SHE IS TWO THIRDS AFRICAN ONE THIRD AMERICAN?? I DON'T GET YOUR STUPID COMMENT.

  • @pretty1185 I saw an interview where she talked about her ethnicity and i just commented about it just to let those who did not know! That's it! Why are you getting so defensive or agitated over my comment?

  • @11940ful What you said makes no sense. You can be half American or African American. American is her nationality. Black is her race. Senegalese is her ethnic background. Well, that and whatever her mother's ethnic background is.

  • @blktrekie29 Whatever! You obviously know what i mean!! I am not typing a research paper or an essay i am typing a youtube comment!

  • @11940ful 1/2 AA, 1/2 Senegalese= 100% BLACK 

  • @frankwhite2020 I know that! Jeeeeeez!

  • it doesnt freaking matter if someone is fat or noT!!!

  • Wow

    For someone who never acted in her life she is amazing

    i mean her voice doesnt even sound like her charater

    its amazing

  • I'd rather die than be fat. Having no life at all is much better than being an obese whale. period.

  • I'd rather die than be fat. Having no life at all is much better than being an obese whale. period.

  • HOLY SHIT SHES FAT AS FUCK

  • @MonaRocks09 She's not as fat as compared to most people that I have seen. I've seen people that are extremely obese, so your exaggerating. You probably really don't like her because of her dark skin.

  • she is already lined up for roles, so people should probabl IMDB her before they talk shit about how she is never going to act anymore because of her size.

  • @cambooty2006: Gabby will play the BLACK HOLE in the next Star Wars movie.

  • Oh my god! I love that woman!

  • Comment removed

  • Isn't it funny that Oprah told her she had a promising career ahead of her?

    Unless they're making Precious 2 or another movie about Notorious BIG, she's not going to be getting anything that great.

    Leading female roles just aren't played by 300 pound women, face it.

    I know I'm supposed to give her a pass because she's black, and of course any time you criticize a black person it's racist, right?

    She's huge too, which means I'm supposed to ignore it & pretend its perfectly normal.

  • too bad your wrong and she is already signed on to do other movies, you should probably get your facts straight before you start talking shit.

  • too bad your wrong and she already has signed to other roles. you should probably get your shit straight before you comment on her not being able to act anymore.

  • She is such a very intelligent, sweet woman..so all you haterz push the hell on!!!!!

  • oh my gosh, she is so cute. i love her bubbly personality. <3

  • Is that a silverback gorilla!!

  • I think it is.

  • Comment Removed by user

  • Wow! She doesn't even TALK like Precious. Now that's an actress!!!

  • Comment removed

  • R U blind? Gabby is a cutie-pie!! So is her boyfriend. True, she is overweight, but she is healthy and happy and joy-giving. The Creator tells us 2 rejoice...be joyful! Gabby has this spirit and we r blessed He gave her 2 us here on planet Earth. Halleluyah!!

  • She is an amazing actress that people need to accept. Appreciate, don't hate.

  • That's my Gabby.

  • You can always tell how good an actor/actress someone is by hearing their real personality and seeing how different it is from their character. This woman is girly, smart, happy, confident...I NEVER would have thought this was her real personality cuz she was so convincing.

    She's also a LOT prettier in real life than in the movie.

  • Comment removed

  • I would rather have an overweight girl acting then some skinny anorexic chick how's never happy with her own body. At least a good couple of people who are over weight eventually except where they are in life and live happily.Sure they may not be the happiest people on earth but they at least appreciate their body much more then slim actresses.They say fat people are killing themselves well so are all those anorexic women.One has to learn how to gain some weight the other lose some No one wins.

  • @ pretty

    You're profile says you're from fucking MEXICO! That's disgusting! Where do YOU have room to insult people?

  • @Jeffieboi And your reply says you're from a fucking american ghetto! You wish you had the money to afford a luxury holidays in Mexico you loser. think about it next time you have to borrow some money from a mexican, you wish you had the life I have. You surely had to go to a community college.

  • @pretty1185

    Actually, let's see...I've been to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa...where people like you waited on me hand and foot. So I have DEFINATELY been to luxury hotels in Mexico. Let's see...I've also been to Costa Roca, France, England...I've been on several cruises that have gone to any countries...

    And you're just a dirty Mexican. And you HONESTLY think I need to borrow money from people like you? LOL...I have rich parents...I'll go to THEM in I need money.

  • @Jeffieboi nevermind a loser like you. Rich parents? Meaning you're not able to make your own money? What a loser.

  • @pretty1185

    No I definately work full time. I just happen to have a huge financial cushion. Jelous that your parents can't afford to spoil you? Sure sounds that way!

  • @Jeffieboi hahaha what?! Ok, let's see, you're probably just a loser behind a laptop while working full time for a company where maybe my family have some money invested. And yes, I'm spoiled, that's the reason why I'm here spending my time watching stupid interviews on youtube. And thank you for visiting Mexico, you surely have contributed to my family's wallet. Please think of mexicans next time you read the nytimes, shop at saks, built a house or even drink a coke... thank you.

  • @pretty1185

    I'm sure I DID contribute to your family's wallet. I told you that all the Mexicans waited on us hand and foot like servants. I don't read the NY Times, shop at saks or build houses (building houses is the kind of job you losers take when you come here cuz your country sucks so bad.

    But I WILL think of Mexicans next time I see 50 people in a van, k?

  • @Jeffieboi you have such an american attitude, you guys think you rule the world don't you? Please look around, the entire world is leaving you guys behind, and your entire system is nothing but to collapse. China, India, Russia, Latin America. Servants? Yeah sure, keep believing that, you're still working as a servant for a company, maybe owned by a developing nation. At least my family owns companies.

  • @pretty1185

    And you think my family doesn't? YOUR family probably owns things like lawn mowing services or a janitor company. And I don't exactly see the world leaving us behind. I see TONS of Mexicans just begging to live here cuz their country is such a shit hole. You're as poor as come, just admit it. I'm sure you and your parents all want to come live here, and go on welfare, and clean my high rise condo.

  • @Jeffieboi oh God, I don't know why I'm wasting my time with useless things like you. I come from the best universities, speak 5 languages and travelled around the world. What does all this shit has to do with Precious? Aww, yes, she is fat just like you surely are. End of a stupid conversation.

  • @pretty1185

    Wait, you're quitting the argument? Meh, I don't blame you. You could NEVER compete with me. Enjoy your dirty 3rd world country! I'm sure you'll be cleaning my house soon!

    I'm done with you! Goodbye!

  • you sound like a spoiled rich kid. try starting with nothing and then making it big instead of your parents hand feeding you. you stay in mexico, your bull shit wouldnt work here kid.

  • @megaDoombringer

    You shouldn't talk ever if you have no idea what's going on. Pretty1185 made a degrading comment towards a group of people, so I replied. He deleted the comment cuz he knows what he said was wrong. So DON'T say I'm the one doing someting wrong, when you have NO idea what started the convo. And I should stay in Mexico? LOL...I'm AMERICAN! I don't even have any latino ancestry period, let alone Mexican! And I may be rich and spoiled, but I'm not a kid anymore.

  • @Jeffieboi

    look kid, your rich and spoiled, which means you have only experienced a certain slice of life. your self righteousness is a joke. no one is gonna listen to some rich kid spew crap anything except whatever business your family is into. i don't even know what the other guy said, but he doesn't come off like a whiny bitch. you do.

  • You've said it all!! Mean little tiny tots rule the world now and they're forcing their beauty standards on everyone else. They don't care that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that is comes in all sizes. Nor do they understand that beauty is more the qualities that we can't see than the physical which we see. But this appreciation comes with maturity and soon real beauty will be fashionable again.

  • @PunkStar6661 I'm at a normal weight and I'd much rather be underweight than overweight. Overweight people are disgusting. If I had the choice between living life as a fatass or death, i'd choose death for sure.

  • @MonaRocks09 You are immature and rude. Your comment only goes to show that you are indeed one of those people who are heavily influenced by the media. You obviously think skinny is better. If you seriously choose death over living, you are sick. Just because someone is over weight it DOES NOT make them disgusting. What's disgusting are people with your kinda of mentality. No matter how beautiful or skinny someone is, if they have ugly personalities they are ugly as well.

  • @PunkStar6661 sorry if I come off as rude. just saying for myself, that I honestly would rather die than be fat. I don't think fat people are that disgusting. I just know I could NEVER be happy as a fat person. I'd be miserable and suicidal.

  • @MonaRocks09 Ah, I'm sorry to. I know that not all overweight people are happy about where they are. Many of them also fool themselves into believing they are happy.But in my opinion, I do not believe that looks should stop someone from trying to become something. If one sings badly but loves to sing, then they should sing their heart out. Why, because it makes them happy. It gives the a reason to live. We should always live our lives to the fullest even if we aren't "normal" to society. :]

  • @MonaRocks09

    lol i think you are already are suicidal, your probably fat too that why you sitting there complaining about fat people..... your not coming off as rude...your coming off as ignorant and idiotic. People need to find a happy median in life.

  • @PunkStar6661

    No one is happy to be fat. Don't kid yourself. But Gabby is losing weight and more roles will open for her. She seems to be an awesome young lady and I hope that Hollywood doesn't corrupt her like it has done to so many people before her.

  • @PunkStar6661 A very well put statement!

  • @PunkStar6661 Yeah, yeah...if you really think that this fat bitch is happy being ugly and morbidly obese, then you're in serious denial. No one has to live like that.

  • @frankwhite2020 Well jerk, just so you know I don't believe that they are 100% happy, but they a good couple of them have come to accept where they are in their lives. You obviously didn't read my comment correctly. And who gives you the right to judge others. Like I said no one wins. I know for a fact that over weight people repress their feelings about themselves I'm not stupid, but at least they don't f-ing complain like skinny people...

  • @PunkStar6661 It annoys me when people criticize lean females, and I find it particularly irritating when they refer to us as "anorexic", just as you have. Anorexia nervosa is a severe psychological disorder that less than 1 percent of the world's population suffer from. I repeat, it's a DISORDER, not a WEIGHT RANGE. I myself am very thin, but my metabolism runs like a steam train, a situation which many girls find themselves in. I'm not jamming my fingers down my throat or starving myself.

  • @Stefanimaree I know that it's a disorder, but many of these celebrities had decent body's they were still skinny to begin but they were healthy. A lot of these celebrities suffer from anorexia, because of all the pressure's, I assume, but I dislike that people would much rather prefer a person who starves herself vs someone who is over weight. Talent comes in many shapes and forms and if the media is so blind to this then of course it's irritating. I was not bashing on skinny people.

  • @PunkStar6661 anorexics and fatzos are both sick. Neither is better than the other. I rather have a healthy girl acting than either an overweight rhino or walking skelleton.

  • @Akkatlah A healthy person can be a "fatzo". There are some people who may be big or really thin but are healthy. I personally don't discriminate against body shape and believe that if someone can act they should be giving the chance and not be bashed on.

  • Why does the ad load faster than the actual video? Boo.

  • BS...people said that about Monique (she plays the mother in the movie) yet she has an Oscar and has had a career and has earned millions of dollars to boot. So don't be surprised if she makes it.

  • i hate that fat people usually get ignored and people avoid hanging out with them, because they think that this destroys their image, while some of them, like gabourey sibide, are so kind. i hate prejudice.

  • no offence but every fat person i ever met in my life is overly nice

  • That's cos they want skinny losers like you to get the fuck outta there way so they could go get the next special @McDonald !

  • @dunnsriver that's so easy to understand, since they can't please by their looks the have to be nice to please people. DUH!

  • I'm guessing we can assume that you are a drug mule. Or just another latina with 10 kids running around.

  • Seems like such a kind, intelligent sweet heart.

  • this interviewer is the only one I can stand. She treats her like a person, unlike the rest of the interviewers. She treats her like she is Julia Roberts or CharlIze Thereion.

  • She always makes me laugh. She's so funny and so beautiful. I simply LOVE HER.

    Gabby you're the MOST beautiful woman on earth. LOVE YOU.

  • @juancamex i agree wit u

  • @juancamex My guess is that you are obese as well. Just a wild guess.

  • @frankwhite2020 145 lbs is obese for you????? I don't think so.

    Good Luck in ur life.

  • @juancamex Thanks! Everyone can use a little luck.

  • I love this Girl & this movie has made me see the Great Gift of the Truth in my Life .I really hope she Wins Oscar

  • super chubby cheeks ;D

  • She is beautiful...but I really hope she makes plans to lose some weight. For the sake of suceeding in Hollywood, I think she'll be so much better of if she was healthy...because she has such a vibrant personality.

  • I'm soooooooooooooooooooo glad you wrote this... everyone is afraid to say this but it is ridiculously true.

  • really? was that necessary?

  • haha. nd being a hater is ur claim to shame

  • shes really pretty she is in another movie to.

  • she is so amazing

  • She seems like one of the chillest people you will ever meet. This was a great interview.

  • she isnt what i thought that she'd be

  • exactly... u already have preconceptions. People should look at these types of comments and think themselves and this nation.

  • so mean to say such a thing like that maybe you just man because she got the part and u dint hahahahahahahah!!!!

  • amazing peformance. hope to see more of her in the future.

  • amazing movie
