Those "reports" have been around since the very beginning of the show, and have been debunked over and over. It's not true.
And when one really thinks about, since the show goes backward and forward in time, in both flashbacks, flashforwards, and the present, it would be pretty much impossible.
Those "reports" have been around since the very beginning of the show, and have been debunked over and over. It's not true.
Look, here are direct quotes from Chrissy Metz and the show's creator, Dan Fogelman, who modeled Kate's character on his own sister:
Quote:
"In our contract, it did state that that would be a part of it, to lose the weight in the trajectory of the character as she comes to find herself. That was a win-win for me. Because it's one thing to try to do it on your own," she shared to TVLine in November of 2016. "But as human beings, it's an ego thing: We're more likely to do something for someone else."
Dan Fogelman, the show's creator, later explained that Chrissy was under no direct pressure to meet a certain goal. "Thus far, the plan we had for the character and what Chrissy's been doing have been working in tandem, with a talk once a year of, like, 'Hey, here's what we're thinking.' So we have a general long-term plan that we've all talked about, and we will adjust the plan as needed. I mean, that's life, right?" he said to The Hollywood Reporter in 2016 about the contract clause.
So I think we can safely say, the contract did not require her to lose a specific amount but there was a commitment to lose weight if that's where the character's storyline went. That's exactly what I said a few pages back.

From 2016? She looks like she's gained weight over the years.
I think what some people have referenced,however, are articles that she's already lost quite a bit of weight. I seem to remember seeing those multiple times.

The comment I was replying to said "I did read reports about Kate/Chrissy contractually obligated to lose weight."
No, she has never been contractually obligated to lose weight. There's a difference between the contract stating that the storyline may go in a direction where she might need to lose weight, and being contractually obligated to do so.

I highlighted the part of the post I quoted that said there was a commitment (note difference between that word and contract, for one) to lose weight IF that is where the character's storyline goes, which it may never. We see her 5 years in the future so far.

But let's get serious. There's going to be no weight loss of any consequence for the next few months, and then the series will be finished with taping for the last season. End of story. But I'll take bets!
I finally finished this last season. Woah, so Kate and Toby get a divorce.
I went back and looked at the scene when they all go to visit Rebecca at Kevin's. Kevin has a wedding ring on and Nicky has a wedding ring on. No way Nicky married Rebecca unless he had it on as pretend for the sake of Rebecca having Alzheimer disease (they look alike to her). He could be just playing the part.

Maybe not this show has a way of making you think something and it's just the opposite
