Actress Sydney Sweeney is not the only star who has hit back at body shamers online. In Taylor Swift's Miss Americana documentary, megastar Taylor Swift shares a clip of comedian Nikki Glaser saying: “She’s too skinny; it bothers me… all of her model friends, and it’s just like, come on!”


Nikki Glaser, who calls herself a Taylor Swift, was horrified that her comments were shared in the documentary and took to Instagram to publicly apologise. She said: “Unfortunately, I am featured in her new documentary as part of a montage of asshats saying mean things about her, which is used to explain why she felt the need to escape from the spotlight for a year. It’s insanely ironic because anyone who knows me knows I’m obnoxiously obsessed with her and her music.”
Nikki Glaser revealed that the clip was taken from five years ago and went on to say that “If you’re familiar with my ‘work’ at all, you know I talk openly about battling some kind of eating disorder for the past 17 years. I was probably ‘feeling fat’ that day and was jealous.” The comedian also added that she’d “love to be her friend someday.”

Hide AdActress Selena Gomez decided to speak out against body shamers after users shared photos from the premiere of her new film Emilia Pérez at the American French Film Festival in Los Angeles. Selena’s so-called fans were implying that she was hiding her body in some way and she responded by saying: “This makes me sick… 'I have SEBO in my small intestine. It flares up. I don’t care that I don’t look like a stick figure. I don’t have that body. End of story. No, I am NOT a victim. I’m just human.'
British born actress Florence Pugh has also addressed what it’s like to be a young woman in Hollywood and told The Sunday Times that "It is really exhausting for a young woman to just be in this industry.” She also said: I remember watching this industry and feeling that I wasn't represented. I remember godawful headlines about how Keira Knightley isn't thin any more, or watching women getting torn apart despite being talented and beautiful."
