She has the love of her parents and siblings, as well as the love of two good men.
I don't hate Malik either! He's such a good actor - did you see him in "When They See Us". He was soooo good.
I'll be really sad when this show ends - it's really well written (even if there are episodes that I like better than others)
Please stop. Now we have "size diversity"??? Leave it alone and let the show be what it will. Not everyone likes to look at an extremely obese person anymore than they like to look at bad paintings. It's all personal preference. I find it repulsive for a myriad of reasons, not just because Hollywood and "skinny" people don't like it. Asymmetrical is not easy on the eyes for most people.

So true. My son went on a rant recently about how we glorify Lizzo and I wanted to smack him - have I taught you nothing child???

My aunt was obese my whole life - she was one of the most amazing people I knew. She lost all the weight about 12 or so years ago and enjoyed some years of being "slimmer" and then was diagnosed with colon cancer and died last year. I imagine she'd have rather enjoyed those years instead of obsessing about staying around 500 calories per day.

Look, she's just SO INCREDIBLY OBESE that some people worry about her health. That's me. It doesn't bother me to see overweight people - it just bothers me that I like this person and she seems to be really incredibly obese - not just overweight. Massively obese.

There, I said it.

Okay. We get it. Dead horse. You're not saying anything that hasn't been said repeatedly.

Wow! All these comments about Kate and her weight are so disgusting. Yeah she's fat, so what? Do you think the actress doesn't know she's fat? Do you think she doesn't deal with all this, every. single. day? People are allowed to exist as they are. Stop worrying about her weight, you all are the disgusting ones, not her. She's just existing.
