Everyone knows how merciless society can be when it comes to fat-shaming, and female celebs often bear the brunt of it.
Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen, 41, definitely can attest to that.
In new Chinese reality show Shi Tian Zhi Hou Hui Dao Xian Shi, which roughly translates to “Returning to reality after 10 days”, Michelle stayed in an enclosed area for 10 days with people from different walks of life.
In one of the episodes, the You’re The Apple Of My Eye actress divulged that she actually doesn’t eat much, especially when she’s filming.
“I would get fat if I consume too much salt, plus it makes me muddle-headed,” she laughed.
She also shared that she only eats one meal a day to make sure she looks good on screen. After all, the camera adds 10 pounds, right?
While we expected netizens to empathise with the pressure she’s under to remain slim, it turns out the bulk of netizens didn’t.
Even worse, they accused Michelle of pretending she has social appearance anxiety.
“You only eat one meal a day but it’s not like you’ve ever been skinny,” scoffed one rude netizen.
Another snarked: “But all these years, she did not look slim whenever she’s on screen.”
What’s wrong with these people?!
