"Precious" Star's Unusual Path

[JWStreeter]

Ugh, she's fucking disgusting.

[missmodelmel]

she is really a sweet girl.

[SunnyLovetts]

FUCK ADS

[LovelessEggplant]

I love all the comments on here about how we all need to GET REAL and realize that she's very heavy and potentially unhealthy. No shit! But just like if someone drank too much, smoked too much, or exercised too much, none of that would detract from their worth as a human being or their abilities as an actor.

Christ, you think she doesn't KNOW she's overweight, and that that can lead to health problems? Pointing that out is as obvious as saying "umm, she's black." Who REALLY needs to get real?

You people are retarded. Honestly, she's a nice girl and is amazinly beautifual. Shes funny and such a valley girl, haha. Gabby is one of a kind. Shes working on losing weight. You say "shes not healthy". UM OPEN YOUR EYES DUMB FUCKS, MOST OF AMERICA IS NOT HEALTHY. Too MUCH time on the computer is NOT healthy, too skinny is NOT healthy, eating candy IS NOT HEALTHY. GOING TO THE MOVIES AND DRINKING SODA AND CANDY IS not healthy! But we ALL do that anyway!

[BigPapiPhx]

i'd still tap that azz

[kat21sd]

you know what hater ,who are you to so who does what & you must be ugly yourself to be talking so much shit Hatier

[PureOwnagexoLovers]

i feel so bad for her , having to say "a fat girl inside me" , and then theirs all these rude people that take it out on her weight but she really is a pretty woman. and im glad she has confiedence, some people are scared to show themselves because of all these people who care somuch about what you look like not who you really are. this girl brings a smile to my face way to go gab! dont judge a book by its cover

[kat21sd]

Why do people have to say such hateful things

[psychomajic666]

She's a 300-plus pound woman.

That's not hateful, it's fact. And 300-plus pound women just don't get leading roles unless its something like Precious or Big Mommas House.

Oprah told her she has a promising career ahead of her.

Huge, ugly black chicks aren't exactly in demand.

Not only should she worry about about her career, but her health.

Say what you want, but the fact is - NO woman should be that big. The girl has a problem & needs to check herself.

[rmarlowez]

@psychomajic666 - I bet you were saying the same damn thing about susan boyle just before she opened her mouth to sing.

There's room for everyone in the entertainment industry. The big, the skinny, the old, the young. It just so happens that the industry is run by twenty and thirty- somethings who haven't figured out yet that it's not about facade, it's whether someone has exceptional talent.

The way I see it the successful people in the entertainment industry are fricking mediocre.

[psychomajic666]

I don't know anything about Susan Boyle and even less about that shitty show she appeared on.

I've seen her, she's not too pretty but being ugly doesn't necessarily give you health issues.

Precious has two things that will enable her to remain huge:

1. being black - if you're black, noone can say anything or they're called racist

2. being fat - fatness gets a pass. we label drunks and druggies but noone dares says anything about someones addiction to food

So I guess she's doomed.

[cblazer]

@psychomajic666 she'll get more roles the 20 and under audience really like bigger women, they have more soul and they are an untapped potential, people are getting tired of the dysfunctional, soulless Insecure actresses

with no soul. BTW being fat maybe unhealthy but so is bulimia, starvation diets and rapid weight gain and loss. plus if you think she's ugly its just because this shitty society has pushed these half dead actresses down our mouths so long its all you think is pretty,

[cblazer]

@psychomajic666 oh yea btw, about 300 years ago a mans natural urge was to hook up with fat women because they have the best chance of conceiving a healty baby and carrying it full term, all the while having plenty of fat to produce milk for the baby. We're just so conditioned now to think that stick women are hot and healthy...all in all fat people have the best personalities , for having to make up for the weight.

[psychomajic666]

You know what? You're right.

Let's ingore the fact she's on the brink of a heart attack and probably diabetes.

Let's encourage her to stay that way. Hell, let's encourage her to get bigger, why not?

Have another pastry Precious, eat up. We all love you so much!!!!!

[PandaBaby51]

wow shes a really good actress.

[JcHunter66]

this bitch fat as hell...DAMN

[Rachaelrules123]

she is accually pretty no one can be perfect and it's normal to be fat it it just depends on the inner beauty that controls the personality.

[aescoblaze03]

I take it you are fat and you trick yourself into thinking obesity is beautiful so you can make yourself feel better. well, when you can no longer see your neck in the mirror, have high blood pressure, diabetes, lower back pain, then go to the doctor and tell him/her that is beautiful. LMFAO SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST MORONS AND U ARE ONE OF THEM.

[Rachaelrules123]

actually i don't think that we're the morons and for your information i happen to be in shape

[Rachaelrules123]

yeah exactly and actors are supposed to play real people and who cares if she is overweight news flash haters lot's of people are like that good comment

[suegirl145]

nobody knows anything about Gabbys health. Being thin is not about genetics, its about lifestyle, if you had grown up in her family its likely that you would look just like her.

[danewson]

@ Suegirl145 But if a person eats chittlin, hog maul, pig feet, and that other bullshit then what can we say about their health? Maybe she is special, maybe all of that fool actually lowers cholesterol and heart disease in some people. Yeah Right!!!!

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

shes gonna be a therapist she should be her first client

[BlackPearllblogg]

I wanna see this film so bad

[CJordan1936]

You never know, health concerns will likely compile her to make some lifestyle changes. But she's a beauty; an absolute beauty; inside and out... She'll always have that.

[bre1231]

hmm no homo but she is pretty

[AbTaLyAbNaTyA3]

A Gorilla... U Racist Bastard

[ifusuckilltellu]

lmao!

[duchess93]

woah, she sounds way different from her character, i mean i figured she would but it's such a relief to see her out of the movie because it was so depressing

[SEVENTEENCINEMA]

Gabborey is gorgeous IRL. Plus size women CAN be hot.

[YouEatTurds]

keep telling yourself that lol

[duchess93]

i personally think she is pretty too...some people just can't get past size.

[Elepho113]

i think shes pretty everyone thinks im crazy but shes hot

[duchess93]

i don't think ur crazy, i think she's pretty too

[ifusuckilltellu]

Oh God shes not pretty shes just talented she has a stuck up way about herself but I give the big bytch credit!

[danewson]

Not this bitch. Even if she were skinny she would just be a skinny ass ugly girl.

[chocolytesprynkles]

why is the reporter giving away spoliers??!! D:

[YarrowElfwind]

well if she continues in the hollywood scene its just a matter of time before we start seeing her shrink to a smaller size. the pressure is just to great there to be subzero sizes.

[aescoblaze03]

she need to stop eating so much cuz she looks like a hippo. maybe if she loses weight she will once again be able to see her neck among other things.

[dincode187]

you are a jackass grow up

[ifusuckilltellu]

What a wonderful talent she is really even though its the "Same Ole" Story" of a fat black girl who struggles in life and lives poor with hardly anything but the bra overhang this movie captures he essence of so many that are never heard I don't think that it will change things for all Americans who actually live the life that "Precious" targets but it will send a clear message that will finally be understood by the masses!

[duchess93]

i think precious is more than that "ifusuckilltellu". and i definetly don't think this movie/book was typical either

[jfulbright]

This segment makes it seem like people should be STUNNED that she's heavy and black, and that she's a credit to her...weight? Seems to me she's a pretty, smart person and that "don't judge a book by its cover" bit is disingenuous.

Speaking as a skinny, white b**ch, this ticks me off. I got to be skinny and white thru genes. I didn't do anything special to get this way, and I'm not a great actress.

She's an ACTRESS, and a good one.

I hope she wins the Oscar, and I hope her dress is FABULOUS!

[anonymous18715]

shes gonna get the surgery that star jones and al roker got

[AestheticFlavor]

I hope she does! Weighing that much is very unhealthy.

[dudesweet53]

shes pretty :)

[0dour]

shes an icon :)

[MsToyaG]

OMG,she looks like Biggie with a wig!!

[cmeltontayns]

Least most people get to see it! We have to wait all the way until Nov. 20th, this sucks!

[mrspeel7]

I was amused to see commercials, before and after this segment, for a credit card called "Sapphire" (the author of the book "Push" upon which Precious is based)!

Savvy advertising, or coincidence? :)

[thornedbeauty87]

This young lady just proves how amazing you can be and how far you can get in life without having to look a certain way and the people with negative comments on here are really immature.

Gabby keep doing your thing. We need more strong young ladies like you in the world.

[shingaly88]

i think this movie is amazing!..you cannot judge a person by their looks like the person said about their weight im sorry but u are wrong..very wrong to look at her weight and not think about what she is trying to tell the world..awsome movie!

[thornedbeauty87]

Ugh Im so mad I went to 5 theaters today to try to see it and they were all sold out:-(

[setag1]

Your a dummy--dont nobody want you dont nobody need you....ummmmm yet she gets $15m Cha Ching...Yes!

[keen14you]

This lady is so talented, intelligent, and beautiful!! I thank her for providing such an opportunity to our younger sisters to realize that appearance or circumstances don't define you or your potential.

[AestheticFlavor]

That's great and all, but she SERIOUSLY does need to lose a lot of weight!

[TheAfroQween]

The movie isn't about her weight its about a girl who overcame.... can you say ANYthing positive besides 'ya that's great' is that all you see is her weight?

[AestheticFlavor]

I was referring to her profession as a psychologist, not the film. What's negative about losing weight? I'm just concerned for her health!

[TheAfroQween]

That is my point - she was discussing how she got the part for the film. Maybe she feels fine @ her weight with her profession. What's wrong with accepting her for how she is if she didn't comment on her own weight why should it be a concern?

[AestheticFlavor]

This lady is obese and it is a danger to her own health! She's extremely vulnerable to diabetes, hypertension, stroke, and/or (specially since she is African-American) high blood pressure.

[TheAfroQween]

That is evident from the video. Since you are so concerned why don't you contact her and let her know that as if she doesn't already know - and for all you know she could be healthy and in NO danger that too is possible, perhaps she has already addressed it. SMH..... come on with the coyness we all know why you REALLY made that comment about her weight etc.

[AestheticFlavor]

What do you mean "we"? Speak for yourself, lol. I have a feeling that you're trying to make me look like the bad guy, over here! If you believe my aim was to make fun of this lady, you're wrong! I used to weigh 290lbs myself; I speak from personal experience. =)

[TheAfroQween]

We meaning the we that read this comment 'we' and I speak from exp as well I am a RN- w/ a masters degree- I can't 'make you look like anything' YOU made the comment- not me- I just asked a few questions and made comments back on what you said- sounds like you've got a guilty conscience-

[AestheticFlavor]

I don't understand how a RN, such as yourself, advocates unhealthy body weight! Look, I was simply expressing my own logical opinion. You came in here & started accusing me of being "negative" okay, lol. BTW, I also have very extensive medical knowledge, your boasting does not intimate me...

[TheAfroQween]

You still have it twisted, for one I'm not trying to intimidate anyone, you started with the boasting about how you have personal exp. I just responded with my personal exp. as well-

For two, I don't 'advocate' anything 'unhealthy' where do you get that idea?

The comment board is free for EVERYONE to comment as they see fit- not just you. Lastly- I ASKED you WHY SO NEGATIVE? THAT is a QUESTION not an accusation.

Have a grand evening :)

[AestheticFlavor]

Obviously I'm exaggerating, lol. To be fair, you were the first to throw in the whole RN w/ Masters into the mix! Do you HONESTLY believe that "speaking from personal experience" is considered boasting??? Hahaha, let's just be friends okay? =)

[TheAfroQween]

Uhm no but I do HONESTLY think that "i lost so and so amount of lbs" is boasting = no? and you threw that in first dear heart. As I said b 4 with your 'lets be friends' comment= HAVE A GRAND EVENING.

[AestheticFlavor]

Hahaha, damn you got me! I'm not even going to lie, lol. You too, have a good one.

[TheAfroQween]

It's been an honor having HEALTHY MATURE banter with you my dear fellow human- A PLEASURE--- God bless always

[AestheticFlavor]

Thanks =)

[MegaOsol]

i dont think its boating, i think its just showing that you can relate and are coming from a good place. :]

[duchess93]

i doubt you are concerned. do you really lay awake at night AestheticFlavor wondering if she's ok?

[AestheticFlavor]

No, but I'm sure her family is concerned about her weight.

[duchess93]

and how are you so sure? do you even know her family? maybe her family is just fine

[AestheticFlavor]

Because if her family truly loved her, they would care and be concerned for her health. Being Obese is very hazardous to your well being!

[MegaOsol]

to be honest, i agree with aesthetic flavor. im not looking to get attacked like he/she did. just an opinion. :]

[ifusuckilltellu]

Her family is all big too her dad is from Africa hes the only small one if you want to call that small thank God she has talent though!

[zerleikoko]

Thats is a cool and emotional movie, it is good to show to the world this part of USA.
