This Is Us Star Opens Up About Weight-Based Discrimination
In a recent interview on the "Jamie Kern Lima Show," Chrissy Metz, best known for her role on "This Is Us," opened up about facing weight discrimination before becoming famous. She recalled how people would avoid sitting next to her on airplanes, often sighing or ignoring her due to her size. However, once she gained fame, people were more eager to engage with her, which left her feeling conflicted. Metz reflected that the judgment still exists, but now it seems tied to her celebrity status.
She also discussed the emotional and physical challenges she faced growing up, particularly the abuse from her stepfather, who would weigh her in the kitchen to shame her. These experiences left lasting emotional scars that she continues to work through.
Metz has always been candid about her weight struggles, including a weight-loss clause in her "This Is Us" contract, which she saw as an opportunity for personal growth. Despite the challenges, she remains focused on healing and self-acceptance.
