Padma Lakshmi Shuts Down Body Shaming Trolls: “I Have Boobs, I Have Nipples”
https://www.menshealth.com/tre...Padma Lakshmi is understandably over commenters on social media weighing in on her appearance.
Speaking to Page Six at the Time100 Gala, the author and TV host said, “When you put yourself out there in an open public forum, you have to expect all kinds of reactions. I have boobs. I have nipples. So does every woman and man on the planet, I’m sorry. And I think we should just be a little more grown-up about it and also just accept that a woman’s body is beautiful and okay. And just accept that we don’t have to be all totally perfect and stuff and filtered and everything.”
Padma added that she feels “more comfortable with my body in my 50s than I did in my 20s, even though I probably looked better in my 20s,” adding, “But I feel better in my 50s.”
She ended her interview with this: “I’m here to tell you that you can have a beautiful relationship with your body and your sensuality and be a mother and be a lover and be a friend and have a multidimensional complex human being. You can have that, you can be that.”
It was back in 2020 that Padma responded to trolls who felt the need to criticize her for not wearing a bra in the kitchen of her own damn home, saying, “(I got some comments last time that it was immoral for me to not wear a bra in my own kitchen during the quarantine. So those people should be happy to note that I’m wearing two today. 😂) But seriously, let’s not police women’s bodies in 2020, ok?”
The Top Chef host's recent Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover shoot is enough proof that the only comments about her body should be overwhelming positive ones.
