I think it’s time that we finally accept the fact that NO ONE is perfect! No matter how much money or fame someone has, they also have flaws. Case in point, a photographer snapped this picture of actress Jennifer Love Hewitt in a bikini on the beach.
No it’s not a flattering picture, but to be honest, not very many people look good in a “butt shot.” Unless you do 500 lunges and squats a day and restrict your calories intake to 1200 a day, 365 days a year, you’re going to have some dimples somewhere. But a lot of people have been posting mean, rude and downright nasty comments about the picture, prompting Hewitt to fight back.
Hewitt says she doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with the way she looks in a bikini. She says, “A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be.” And she adds, being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful.” She says she’s been silent for a long time about the way women’s bodies are constantly scrutinized. And says she’s not upset for herself, but for all the girls out there that are struggling with their body image.
But it’s not just girls struggling. Older, mature women also have issues with their bodies. Take Dr. Donda West for example.
She’s educated, accomplished, acclaimed, rich, the mother of a rap superstar, etc. and was 58 years old. But even she felt the need (pressure) to change her body. In the end, it may have cost her, her life. You can’t help but ask yourself, “Is this quest for perfection really worth it?”

Tonya, I'm a Black man. I understand that as a woman, sometimes you can be hard on yourselves when it comes to your body. To say that this picture of Jennifer Hewitt's butt is unflattering is definitely an understatement. The entertainment industry, be it the modeling, film, or music, has a HUGE influence on how you all should look. It's like a big social club to me. They have all this money, so they feel that they can set these twisted veiws on how women should look. The lesson here is: If you're not to the point where you're out of shape and having health problems, love yourself. Even though you're not skinny, you still look good too, Tonya!
