Damn she’s big

She ain’t that big he’s just small.

Im NOT TOUCHIN THIS ONE!!!!

ain’t a dam n thing i could do w/ that!

chris betta quit f’n around before that broad gets hot and he has to follow through! learned long ago not play aroun wit dem great big ones.

i can say that most of the women looked fab in their attire. speaking as a full-figured woman, i do worry about gabby’s size. every one knows that being overweight leads to health concerns. her speech was very humble, and i hope that she will be offered more roles in the future.

Jack_Stephen1, lmbao…See thats why I wasnt even going there with this one! You gone have them angry BBW’s burning crosses on ya lawn Jack!

well wow black folks are so criticql of each other….ignorance

he needs to keep his hands to hiself no matter who it is, that was rude of him

he’s a comedian and i am sure she enjoyed the joke…it was all in fun…people stop takin things like this so serious jeez

I really am curious to know if he only did that because all of the men she stated on the last television report were white men that she had crushes on.
She played the hell out of that part in Precious though. She really did deserve the Best Actress Award this year. Go girl!

I find it funny and it is typical of Chris Rock. Some people need to lighten up at least Gabby got a sense of humor on top of being a humble person.

My goodness there is so much hate on a female that has risen above the typical actress and received a well deserved award. She is big yes that is how GOD intended.NOT YOU! Before you congratulate your HATE and not the street term either the real HATE… And it’s the her own people.. Yall are sickening.

Cicely Tyson is looking good! Loooove some Cicely.

lmao

Laughter is good for the soul. Chris is a comedian and gabourney has a sense of humor. Her weight is her business and i personally think she is beautiful!!

man I missed it

Thats was rude of him, yes Cecily she looked devine

cicely tyson, wow, she looks great, didn’t even recognize her in that first pic, thought it was some young thing! lol

OK so I WENT TO the Image Awards (and the after party of course) but i was TOTALLY offended by this gesture and I thought that was completely disrespectful and RUDE! Just because this woman is over weight does NOT mean that her body is not her temple.

CHRIS YOU WERE WRONG FOR THAT.. NO MAN no matter who he is or who you are has the right to grab up on your @ss like that public ESPECIALLY on a nationally broadcast award show on STAGE?? OH no no no.. that was FOUL and RUDE…

CHRIS you are just constantly remaining on my sht list. I never liked your @ss anyways.

and NO I am not overweight nor obese so dont ask. SOMEONE needs to point the sht out!

I love her but she needs to lose a bit of weight

she is extremely overweight, she even took up two seats! felt bad for whoever she sitting next to. lol

they were wrong for putting her in between the two of them like that… smh..

lmao @ “she aint that big, he’s just small.”

a hand full????, who cares!!!!

Chris know they found an oreo to help them destroy us. We got to stop bathin in all this negativity. Seems those are the only movies we can make. Then we wonder why we dont have anything strong between us in real life. The visuals we feed ourselves often manifest themselves into reality. They workin overtime destroying us…

Hey, Chris Rock knows a good thing when he see’s her!! Bet he would not have done that if she was not all that anyway. You go Gabourey!! Let the haters hate.

All the way from St. Thomas more fo he toe hold!!!

Why is it men have the right to be as big as they want but when a woman decides that she is ok with her body if she is big then she becomes the butt off of the butts (Cause thats what they are) jokes on here. Congrats too Ms. Gabourey shine on darling. We are not all a size two but not everyone is a 22 either remember when you say thing cause I know we wont all agree thinkl how would you feel if this was your mother, sister, or daughter and she had to read the comment you just made.

Being a full figured woman myself, I found some of the comments very rude. Only God can be our judge. Yes she’s a full figured woman, so what? Is it bothering you, no. Do you have to live the life she’s living, no. None of us know each other’s struggles and as to how we got where we are. I applaud Miss Sidibe for being happy and embracing what she has. Do you thing Gabby!

I got a nice big round butt, and it belongs to me. Chris has no right to do that. This is my temple and unless you ask, and I agree, you are violating that. This was a very poor joke! As blacks, we need to stop degrading ourselves. As one poster said, they work overtime trying to prove that we are less than and for Chris to grab a woman like that on national tv is MOST DEGRADING! Had she been another race, he wouldn’t have because he knows he face would have been stinging after the SLAP!

I kinda got angry and relayed the wrong message. My body is God’s temple, on loan to me.

I haven’t seen the movie and refuse to do so because I’m tired of these hugely fat and overweight women thinking we have to accept that mess. Pretty faces but bodies that look like washtubs. When will the madness end? Little advice–start working out and stop eating out.

You aint never lied!!!…I’m sure it was all in fun for the cameras, but Chris Rock has expressed his feelings towards Black women and hair weave, so I know he has a problem with these heavyweights and the media portraying them as acceptable in our society. Trust me when I say this, our white, mid-eastern, & hispanic male counterparts look at the way our black women carry themselves physically as a sign of Black men having “no control” or say so about their appearance. They laugh at us when we request to run and operate their companies, when we have no say in our own House…I digress! Nonetheless, if your body is a temple and God let you borrow it, why abuse it like that? I say that especially to Southern Baptist women who use religion as an excuse for their weight! Steve Harvey said it best “Girl you’re bigger than a Mississippi Mass Choir!”

Tichina Arnold and Regina King are my favorite female actors. I want to see more of them.

OMG joshua…what a total a*s*s*hole you are..I guess you have a perfect 10 body without an OUNCE of body fat, hair out of place or morning breath. Big girls can act, sing, laugh and love just like anyone or even better for that matter cause they KNOW due to thier weight and the stigma associated with it they often have to prove something to close minded individuals such as yourself. They believe in working extra hard for what they want cause they know that the typical pretty faces and hard bodies get what they want and society doesn’t seem THEM as that. Who are you or anyone else for that matter to downgrade and belittle them….6 words I say to them GO ON GURLS DO YOUR THANG….GOD and ONLY GOD is thier judge.
Oh yeah…before you get all “know it all-ee on me and ask me how much I weigh and whatever else…let me tell ya….
I am 41, married for the past 20, 2 kids, 5″5, 135 lbs and VERY happy!!

I suppose Chris was doing a “take off” on Halle Berry’s grab of Jamie Foxx. And she “supposedly” did it because of the inappropriate “kiss” that the white dude gave her (It looked like she was really into it to me).
But it is all disrespectful. And yes we (men and women) need to quickly do something about our weight. It is just more disrespect for self.
And whoever wrote this blurb above about Justine Timberlake is pathetic. Why does the most desirable man have to be a gutless white wannabee? And these are the people who are “forming” our opinions.
Pathetic. How about Boris Kodjoe? Or Maxwell? Or Will Smith? Or even the local black mailman.
Truly mindless.

@mahari33-The “blurb” about Justin Timberlake was in reference to whom Gabourey Sidibe said she would like to be her date for the Oscars. That’s why the writer said Justin Timberlake instead of any of the people that you named. It was a joke pertaining to something she wanted.

i don’t think gabby really cares what yall have to say about her weight….she’s making more money than all of you. (:

smh…yeah she gotta lose weight…but dam shes RICH. and having fun so..whatever.

You can’t say that she is rich. She probably was not paid much for the film and may not even get roles in the future.

Get you some Chris!

Not trying to be funny, Chris is a small giuy and it looks like he went to give her the same hug he would give a normal sized women and he just didn’t have the arm length to completely embrace her. I don’t think there is any bad intention in what actually happened.

She may be a little big for some but God made her and she is beautiful. There is somebody for everybody. Leave her alone.

whether it upset her or not, that’s totally out of line. I had the argument w/ some1 a couple yrs back that ppl (especially men) think they can do disrepectful thing to “fat” girls and think it’s cool. I really feel it’s that cut and dry fat =’s funny. If u’ve ever been to a hood stripclub (male stripers) u’ve definetly seen this b4. They do sometimes pic chicks that aren’t so heavy, but it would b the crazy chick that wants the attention and eventually gets it, but they will pic on heavy female that isn’t begging 4 the attention.

You know something to those of you who have negative comments about the “Precious” star, give me a freak’n break!!! I’ve never seen or read such “IGNORANCE” and “NEGATIVITY” been expressed on one blog since blogging started; I agree with the first comment – she is beautiful! What I am reading is a bunch of prejudice, ignorant, “I wish I had the opportunity,” haters! As far as the comment about Chris Rock’s arms not being big enough, you are the “Biggest Loser!” Just who in the hell (which is where you are going to find yourself if you continue to have that same attitude to your death)do you think you are? You are probably one of those chronic depressed types anyway who gets his/her self gratification off by insulting people but I don’t think anyone knows who you are so you won’t be getting any awards too soon. To the comment about she may not be getting any acting jobs in the future; so how in the world do you know that? I don’t see you on the critic shows to make that judgement, OH, there’s only one judge, which is how she got the role in the first place – she has to know that she can do “all things through Christ who strengthens her!” Also she wouldn’t be getting any kind of recognition if she had not been chosen for the role in the first place; do you realize that someone in the position when auditioning saw something amazing and thought she was the best fit for the role – I’ll give you a year to think about that (duh). Finally, to all those who this comment applies (ignoramous’, shallow, haters, and the list can go on and on) move on to another hobby that embraces just being a fine compassionate human being, there is absolutely too much negative in our world as we know it today and trust, it’s not going to get any better – I realized that when I stumbled up on this blog.

There is no excuse for a woman to allow her frame to become grotesquely misshapen as the result of lazy inactivity and improper eating habits. It’s unhealthy and weak. It’s pathetic to see this increasing number of 300plus lbs of black women walking around (if they indeed can walk) and black men are supposed to ignore this. Like Gromoe stated, if your body is a temple why destroy like that? However, this current generation of female hippos don’t get it.

I actually love the second comment about God made her Beautiful because she is, if God made junk maybe all of those who possess such negativity, you may fall into that category that is if he does make junk. Do you think you are made of junk? The elders say “God don’t like ugly (he only looks at the spirit) and he ain’t to fancy on pretty (most of the time those who think they are all of that and looks down on others because they are different)”. To those of you who don’t know, ugly and pretty are referencing the inner being – the spirit.

I SAW HER ON CHARLEY ROSE DOING A INTERVIEW ..SHES SUCH A BEATIFUL PERSON.. TO BE HONET FROM HEARING HER TALK ITS CHANGED MY VIEW ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS I USED TO THINK ABOUT.. PLZ GOD LET HER WIN THE OSCAR….. SHES A REAL LOVING DOWN TO EARTH LADY.. AFTER WATCHING HER INTERVIEW ON CHARLIE ROSE I WAS BLOWN AWAY…. SHES SUCH A WONDERFUL SMART WISE . SHES AWESOME …..

@joshua_eliezer-You should probably kill yourself because you’re useless

@Gromoe-I’ve never heard a more ignorant statemet, go ahead and kill yourself too

I’m happy for this young sista!

Yes glad she took the opportunity and ran with it

What can I say about this year’s NAACP Awards; I was truly inspired.. I still hold on Tyler Perry’s Words as well as Gaborey Sidbe’s heartfelt speech and I was truly happy to see “us” come together once again.. You never cease to amaze me..

joshua_eliezer,

In agreement with you…this obese acceptance is out of hand

@CaliFemme23-Yeah because the worst problem we face is the acceptance of obesity…you’e an idiot too

Hey if that wuz me, i’d grab it 2. Big is in & i’m not 1 who’s afraid 2 say i like’em big. She doin her thang. Much luv 2 her.

cherronw, Ahhhh, see I didnt know why you felt that everyone against the unhealthy, life shortening, over zealous praising of obese people should just ‘die’ or are ‘idiots’, until I went to your page…You are a big girl too on your way to ‘Precious’-ness probably as we speak. The difference between you and I is if someone doesnt find me appealing or whatever i’m not offended because I can safely/honestly say that I am happy and HEALTHY with my size/weight. You might front and say that you are as well, but if you could wake up 2morrow and be a healthy, in shape 160lbs (im just guessing because I dont know your height, NONE of your pictures show your full form), you would gladly accept it.
You ‘big people’ kill me with your self love and appreciation with your bodies, but lash out QUICK when someone speaks against it…wonder why? I’m an idiot, cool, I’m a healthy idiot though, you called others ignorant, I bet they are healthy and ignorant, you said one person should just ‘die’ or kill himself…I can bet you’ll be dead before any of us just based upon eating habits…But like a friend of mine says…Don’t be angry with US because YOU ATE YOURSELF OUT OF A FRAME…Channel that angry energy into a few exercises a day instead of wishing death on others.

And there is no way in hell that this girl that played Precious should be happy that the ONLY role she could land was illiterate, overweight,abused,neglected,uneducated, stuck in the hood teenage mother with children infected with the AIDS Virus…Her role was NOTHING to applaud…

All I can say is YUCK!!! She is gross!!! Nuff said about that obese wilderbeast!!!

Dam*ed the Article! Im reading all this fu*kery below me. smh, its just some things you shouldnt say “out loud” as adult as if you’re in Middle School. *kanye Shrugg*

oh yeah, Picture 20 is da shhhhhhh!t! GO JILL SCOTT!

First of all,why is he grabbing her butt.He would’nt grab Beyonce’s butt.I think that skinny bastard was disrepectful to her.And I like chris Rock.I think he was clowning her on TV,like she was some sort of circus freak.

Damn califeeme u is sooooooooooo mean!!!!

precious-ness that was funny!!!

Pantherg08, I’m not mean and you know it..(smile). She came at me with the ‘idiot’ bidness just because I along with the other populace of healthy people say the chick needs to drop a few pounds for HER good. They get so offended because its TRUE.

theres some good puss underneath that gut

Cicely Tyson is one sexy old lady out of all the slave makeup. I dont care if she is in her 70′s Cicely can get it!!!!

@califemme23 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL… OH MAN… you know, if you were a guy, they’re ban your azz so fast. Talking bad about fat black women, is taboo. lol

Wow…Cali Femme is on it! We should hate the sin (obesity) and love the sinner (person trapped in the obese body). I need to lose a few my darn self and articles like this remind me of two things. One–self love is important, and two—truth will make you free! There’s one thing that we should never do is lie to ourselves. Gabby is a beautiful young woman, independent of her size/weight and loves the person that she is. Beautiful! The truth is, she needs to lose weight, but that’s a decision that she has to make for herself. It’s wrong to hate people and call them names because they are overweight. Remember…she is an intelligent young woman and very pretty. I’ll bet that when she finishes college and moves on in her career, she’ll hire a chef to prepare her meals in her mansion, slim down and laugh at all of her haters.

Lyric1961, 1) I am sick to death of the word ‘hater’. Can we as grown people PLEASE stop taggin someone with the word hate just because we all differ in opinion? 2) Y’all need to get over that ‘self love’ bidness. Thats the crap Mo’Nique force fed all the big people of the world for damn near 10 years and guess what, that big heffa is now LOSING WEIGHT! So much for loving herself no matter what eh? There is no such thing as self love when yourSELF is in such horrible shape. I agree with you tho Lyric1961, I could stand to take an inch or two of these hips myself, but is it clogging up around my heart? Nope. Does it make me short of breath when I walk? Nope. Do my arms, neck, thighs, hands and feet all look the same size? Hell naw. Because I’m HEALTHY. I never ‘hated’ on the chick, never called her a name..if calling someone obese is ‘rude’ or whatever then that means calling people black, hispanic, short, tall etc is rude as well because thats exactly what she is..OBESE. And for the record she will NEVER ‘move along’ in her career because shes going to be STUCK as the huge black chick, probably the ‘butt’ of every joke in whatever production she chooses to do until she gets some of that weight off. Gabey may have an audience for NOW, but she has NO REAL FRIENDS OR FAMILY in her corner because if she did, none of them would be able to stand seeing a loved one destroy themselves as she is doing. When I wanted to lose weight I had friends who were personal trainers that told me what to buy, how to change eating habits, when and how to properly exercise and so forth. All of you are enablers to the cause. Bottomline, if Gabey doesnt do something soon about her weight there will be no furthering of her career, there will be no college studies and why in hell would she have to wait to get a mansion and hire chefs to cook for her when she could just as easily take her OWN LIFE into her OWN HANDS and do it herself…

It’s a wonder that she didn;t SIT on Chris- SQUIAHHHHHHHH!

[...] Who grabbed A Handful Of Gabourey “Precious” Sidibe? [...]

honestly some of yall focus on other ppls problems and issues way too much. Some of you are just ignorant and wrong to talk about overweight ppl.. people see themselves in the mirror everyday.. losing weight isnt cut and dry like u makin it seem, and just cause u overweight doesnt mean you eat too much, it can be genetics steroids for medical conditions, thyroid problems etc.. just because your small doesn’t mean you wont avoid health problems. I feel like if you wanna help you should encourage them instead of discourage them, azzholes like y’all is the reason why ppl go into depression stage, because of pure ignorance, criticizing and putting her down dam she know she big; its NOBODY’S place to put her down like that. Its ok to be concerned, but everyone should look at and evaluate themselves and their problems before trying to talk about anyone else.

BUT THE TRUE FACT OF THE MATTER IS A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE SPEAK OUT OF PURE IGNORANCE AND SUFFER FROM THE SMALL MIND SYNDROME… AND NOT ONE TIME WILL THEY STAND FACE TO FACE WITH THAT PERSON AND SAY IT TO THEIR FACE.
I AM A BBW MYSELF, AND HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT I NEVER HAD TO GO THROUGH ANY RIDICULING AND IF THEY SAID IT… THEY SAID IT WHERE I COULDN’T HEAR IT AND WHERE THEY BELONG ” BEHIND MY DAMN BACK”. NEVER SPEAK TOO FAST BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO! I BET EVERYONE WHO EVER SAID ANYTHING BAD TO OR ABOUT HER IS SITTING WITH THEIR MOUTHS “WIDE SHUT” AND YES I SAID IT RIGHT BECAUSE THEY WERE TALKING AND NOW THAT SHE IS ENJOYING HERSELF, THEY SHUT THE *@$K UP! REMEMBER LADIES IN THE WORLDS EYE PLUS SIZE STARTS AT 14 AND IN MODELING YOU ARE PLUS IF YOU ARE OVER A SIZE 4 SO GET OVER IT EVERYONE HAS PROBLEMS……. ONE BIG TOE, ONE LITTLE EYE, EATING DISORDERS, BAD HEALTH, CHRISTIANS, SINNERS, SAINTS…. THEY TALKED ABOUT JESUS BEFORE HANGING HIM ON THE CROSS. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE MISSING IN YOUR LIFE THAT TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER? THAT’S THE QUESTION…. BUT BE CAREFUL CAUSE THAT FOOT STOOL… MAY HAVE TO SERVE AS YOUR STEPPING STONE.

AND @ CALI NOT EVERYONE WHO IS OBESE DOES IT TO THEMSELVES AND PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF WHO THINK THAT LOVING SOMEONE MEANS HURTING THEM THEN YOU GOTTA A FEW THINGS TO WORK ON….. IF U HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THAT SITUATION YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT THAT PERSON GOES THROUGH. SO GET OFF THA GAS!! IT IS EASY TO SAY DO THIS AND DO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE ACTUAL STRUGGLE…. DAMN RIGHT I AM A SIZE 22 AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS AND IT’S PPL LIKE YOU WHO MAKE A BIG PERSON GET THAT DISEASE…. WE CALL “FUQ EM’! I’VE ALWAYS SAID IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, DON’T LOOK! MIND YA OWN BUSINESS CUZ IF YOU SO BUSY FOCUSING ON WHAT I’M DOING YOU ARE MISSING SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE. AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT FRAME OF MIND! THIS STRUGGLE DOESN’T BELONG TO THE WORLD! JUST THE PPL WHO ARE GOING THROUGH IT! STAYING IN SOMEONE’S FACE OR ALWAYS REMINDING THEM THAT THEY ARE HEAVY OR NEEDS TO LOOSE THE WEIGHT,ONLY DOES ONE OF TWO THINGS DEPRESSES THEM OR PISSES THEM OFF. EITHER WAY THAT CAN EASILY BECOME VERBAL ABUSE!PICK YOUR BATTLES…. AND THAT ONE IS NOT YOURS! SO YA’LL NEED TO GET OFF THE VERBAL SOAP BOX OF BEING ABUSIVE…AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, BECAUSE OBESE, FAT, THICK,ETC. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY REMINDED FROM THE STARES TO THE PANTS THEY CAN’T FIT OR THE STORES THEY CAN’T SHOP IN BECAUSE THEIR SIZE ISN’T SOLD IN THERE. THEY DON’T NEED ANYONE ELSE TO PRESS THE ISSUE…. AND AS FAR AS MONIQUE IS CONCERNED WHAT SHE WAS TEACHING WAS SELF LOVE…. AND SHE WAS CORRECT IN THAT, UNTIL YOU CAN LOVE YOURSELF AND THE SKIN YOU ARE IN… THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN YOU REFLECT ON TH ELIFE YOU LIVE…… WHEN YOU ARE UNHAPPY YOU MAKE UNHEALTHY CHOICES AND THAT GOES FOR ANYONE…. SO FIRST BE HAPPY WITH YOU AND THEN YOU CAN RESOLVE YOUR ISSUES. THINK A LITTLE DEEPER TO SEE WHAT’S GOING ON!
