In 2009, I thought Jessica Simpson looked disgusting in this photo – I was blinded by fatphobia 🖊️ SCFGallagher
Onto this stage walked Jessica Simpson. In January 2009, the actor and singer – who was well known for her 2005 filmin which she wears tiny denim shorts – was pictured at a concert in Florida in high waisted jeans and a leopard belt. She looked different from the film four years earlier. If I’m honest, I – like many others at the time – thought she lookedIt pains me to admit that 14 years later.
This detail feels both unimportant and shows how once you cross through the looking glass into an obsession with fatness, reality ceases to matter. The starvation of the body, the relentless picking of fault, and the tearing down of other women all become within reach. Even for those who are sitting at home doing exactly the same to themselves. Looking at the pictures now is like looking at a before and after in my own head.
While we were undoubtedly victims of diet culture, I was simultaneously a villain. Of course, millennial girls like me were young and impressionable, vulnerable to the prolific messaging we were fed, but I was 17 by the time the pictures were released.
