TV Reporter Gets Critiqued For Her ‘Stomach Bulge,’ Hits Back With A Powerful Response

Also this is very important - ALL women have this to some degree. Our uteruses literally push against our stomach walls, causing a small bump even if the person is not overweight in any way.

I would be horrified if someone commented about how I look while I'm just trying to do my job. My appearance has nothing to do with my ability to do my job.

I don't see a bulge in her tummy. Nor do I understand why you are giving attention to this benign conversation.

Facts: Tracy has a slight bulge in her stomach area. I have a HUGE bulge as a stomach. Tracy is still thinner than the average woman and appears to be healthy. I am overweight and not so healthy. Tracy loves food. I love food. Tracy is not ashamed of her body. I am, but I used to have the body aspired to by many men (when I was in the service at least) and was not ashamed at that time. Tracy probably diets, but enjoys food she likes. I diet, and skip food I like for fear it might kill me (I am diabetic, and I did it to myself by NOT watching my food when I should have!). Tracy should never be insulted about her weight. I should never be insulted about my weight (I already know, insults dont help the situation, only I can do that). Tracy looks STUNNING and wears tight clothing, I used to look good wore tight clothing. Moral here: Tracy is Tracy, I am ME. nothing will change that, least of all some strangers comments. So keep your trash to yourself and work on helping others instead!

Having a belly pooch is normal, y'all!

Mary can get bent.

Mary should just STFU and keep that to herself. Let's see what she looks like.

People should be ashamed to use the phrase "claps back"

She's pretty awesome in that red dress. Nothing to be shame about. She's so beautiful and confident and I liked it so much! :)

The thing is "Mary" does not show herself. Question: What Does "Mary" look like? Would "Mary" please show herself.

There are so ouch problems for women in this world! Mean and some women, still want to tell us what to do with our bodies! So why are women treating each other so badly? I just don't understand this. Men don't fat shame each other, or tell each other man, you need to stop drinking, your beer belly is just too much! Why don't you wear a man girdle on air to tuck that stomach in, and stop eating at that Italian place every night! It is endless. Women need to wake up and support each other in love and sisterhood. All women.

I wonder how Mary looks like...

Been fat, been skinny. The both have their own quirks. What gets me really mad is how the media, talk shows and jokes had. Oprah's IQ and talent was measured in pounds. If she gained weight, her IQ and accomplishments plummeted like the stock market back in the day. Thinned down she had the sycophants kissing her ass and denying they ever were part of the lynch mob character assassination. A friend of my brothers dated a tv weather gal. Her contract included what would cause her contract to be out the window if she gained more than a couple pounds. Skimpily clad women in South America do the weather. Newspapers always tell us what a woman is wearing. "Ms X looked rather frazzled in her Chanel. Suit and knock off Prada pumps. Men grow gray and become distinguished, veteran reporters or senators. Women get fired. Too old, too worn out and too aggressive. If men pack on a few pounds, the jokes are innocent. Holiday pounds or some other stupid stuff. Obesity and insensitivity. Kindness?

She is beautiful!!

christ, people are dreadful. any healthy human will have that, but especially women, because you know, our organs have to exist somewhere. 🙄

She should eat more, to gain even more, never enough of "beauty" hehehehehe

That f***y pack tweet made me laugh out loud!

That's not even fat! THAT IS LITERALLY WHERE THE ORGANS ARE

Body positivity: good Hating on women who aren’t there with us yet: not good Useless hate is useless. Spread the word

Tracy should not be surprised by this criticism, people are mean, cruel.

Wow, she looks stunning and who would even think to say such a tackless thing? Bet the harasser is horridly over weight

My mother taught me - small minds talk about people. Seems we have met one of those small minds . it is to be hoped she will take some of these responses and use them as a learning experience. Who cares what the news people, for example, look like as long as they are doing their job?

I like Tracy's body too!

Tracy please tell me how to express my concern for your bulging stomach, when my purpose was aimed at your health not your look! anybody?

It was a fine comeback, but in no way "epic". Not worth posting here. This sort of thing happens all the time. If we posted every jerk on the internet and someone's mundane answer, there would be, what 10,000 bored panda posts per day? Downvoted.

I have a bulge in my stomach and I wear tops that cover it up . But if she wants hers to hang out then thats fine but expect repercussions. Some people don't like looking at muffin tops.
