Celebs Who Were Bullied Because Of Their Weight
Melissa McCarthy
Melissa McCarthy proved that she could carry a movie on her own with the 2013 film Identity Thief but while most praised her breakout performance, there was one film critic who had harsh words for the actress. Rex Reed didn’t hold back in his review when he called her “tractor sized” and wrote McCarthy was “a gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious with equal success.” Many people came to the defense of McCarthy right away but she took her time and finally responded a few months later. “I felt really bad for someone who is swimming in so much hate. I just thought, that’s someone who’s in a really bad spot, and I am in such a happy spot,” she said. She truly had the last laugh; Identity Thief claimed the number one spot at the box office taking in over $35 million opening weekend.
