Body-shaming is a casual practice followed in the industry, even when its something as big as Hollywood. Batman & Robin‘s Alicia Silverstone, popularly known for playing the role of Batgirl has shared her horrific experience of people making fun of her body.
Despite being such a major role in a big film like Batman & Robin, the actress confessed that it wasn’t her favourite shooting experience. The actress, who was just 21 at that time was referred to as ‘Fatgirl’ by the tabloids and a journalist had also asked for her bra size. In an interview with The Guardian Alicia has opened up on all the body-shaming she faced during that time.
Silverstone shared, “They would make fun of my body when I was younger. It was hurtful but I knew they were wrong. I wasn’t confused. I knew that it was not right to make fun of someone’s body shape, that doesn’t seem like the right thing to be doing to a human.”
