NAAFA Stands Up For Gabby Sidibe
NAAFA – the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance – is standing up for Gabby Sidibe. A weight loss company targeted Gabby and said she wasn’t healthy and needed to lose weight in order to get more roles in the future. NAAFA has taken an exception to that…

NAAFA says just because you are skinny, doesn’t mean you are healthy. Look at all the thin stars who died from drug overdoses in the last year alone: Brittany Murphy, Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, Andrew Koenig, Casey Johnson and finally, Corey Haim. They were all very thin and obviosuly unhealthy! I think NAAFA has a great point. From TMZ:
But according to a spokeswoman for NAAFA, being heavy doesn’t always mean being unhealthy. Peggy Howell tells TMZ, “You cannot tell by looking at a person if they are healthy. Fat does not equal disease and thin does not equal healthy.”
Howell also said NAAFA does not encourage people to get fat or stay fat and reminded us, “Achievements come in all sizes.”
I think it’s mean that they targeted Gabby after her success in Precious. Did anyone go after Forest Whitaker when he was heavy after his win? Producers? Directors? I think they were picking on a teenager and they should leave her alone.
