Chrissy Metz: ‘I Can’t Respond With Hate’ To Body Shamers | Megyn Kelly TODAY

But exactly why is every interview a conversation about her weight Like she literally has so much more going for her but y’all can’t move on from her weight ??? Literally who cares !!

[jennyeddins]

I think she's absolutely stunning. I don't know what health conditions she has or why she struggles with weight, but I really do hope that she can get help and lose a healthy amount of weight. She looks like she's about to fall out of the chair. Every interview I see her in, she just looks so uncomfortable. I really wish her her the best.

What a lovely woman....a sweet and kind soul, I hope she doesn't change :)

[JJ-yuog]

Is it body shaming OR a concern for her obesity?

[samuelboles]

What does your docter say does he say that you r heathy and heart. So do you walk alot. Or. Cuase going on a walk with positive. Affirmative statements that you and others record. I know how you feel u now. Im to skinny and i lost one of my arms as well.

[Kirwina]

Chrisst Metz is beautiful and I could imagine that she is tired of being asked about her weight but my gosh, I am looking at her and wondering what everyone was thinking. I hope she loses the weight and would be healthy. The girl Precious has lost the weight as well so thank God for her

[ellie]

So did she answer the question about feeling well in her body?

[mundayn]

when people fall in to the depression the bigger they get and the harder it is to stay healthy i hope she realizes its a great thing to try and help people but in the long run?

[suntoneptune]

If this woman isn't diabetic, i am gaining weight.

[thebusinesschannel]

Body shaming?? Its freaking unhealthy.

[SammyTheSituation]

the chair... it's botherming me...

[shaneg]

Let's be honest. She's fat. Own it and be proud.

[Prisoner_of_Gravity]

You are a role model. You don’t have to be thin to be healthy.

[kimthomas]

how does she have the energy to move around?

[benreyirl]

Megan agrees with her about hate yet she sure showed her hate for Trump. Only reason she avoids politics ( for now anyway ) is she realizes it doesn't work. Whether a person hates Trump or not people do get sick of everything made political.

[bobbobers]

I'm still trying to figure out how that chair did not collapse.

[ANGELSLVME]

I'm not trying to be mean, but dear you are too big and need to have weight loss surgery, It would be great for u. Please don't keep this unhealthy weight for a tv role?
