Gabourey Sidibe

Gabourey Sidibe wowed audiences with her performance in Precious and stunned onlookers with her shimmering gown at the 2014 Golden Globes. Yet, despite looking radiant, she faced harsh criticism about her weight, with one commenter even asking, “Who thought this was okay?”

Gabourey had the perfect response, clapping back with, “To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I most definitely cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night.” Her response was a reminder that one’s size doesn’t define success.
