Some people can look past an incredible talent and zero in on the body. Kelly Clarkson has become the latest talk of the town for the wrong reasons: certain prominent personalities can't just stop criticizing her weight.
This includes Chris Wallace, 67, who hosts Fox News Sunday. While in The Mike Gallagher Show, a radio show, last Friday, Wallace, along with Mike Gallagher, 54, had talked about the 32-year-old singer and how she could drop the weight by staying away from greasy pizzas for some time, as Wallace put it. He has since apologized for his comment in a statement he sent to E! News a few days after his radio chat. He also admitted that he should just have brought more attention to her talent than anything else.
Gallagher, on his part, had commented on how the pop star had blown up while also making fun of how he looked like. In his apology, he revealed that he should be the last person to make fun of other people's weight but called his actions stupid.
The guys, however, weren't the only ones who were accused of fat shaming her. Katie Hopkins, a British TV personality who is considered as one of the hated persons in the country, left unfavorable remarks about Clarkson's weight in two separate occasions. On February 20, she commented on Clarkson's guesting in Graham Norton, saying that she had grown so big she might have eaten all her backup singers. A few days after, she tried to call the attention of some fans who might be calling her out on her previous comment by saying Clarkson's weight is caused by carrot cakes rather than baby weight since she had given birth for almost a year. Her son is already 9 months old.
Despite all of these, Clarkson has remained cool as she'd rather focus on the more important things and people in her life.
