The therapist approached the situation really well. She didn’t immediately attack the mother, whilst still educating her about the damage she could have done.

“You have your own lil doughnut around your waist.” That one hit different. 😭😭

[VamprinaBelle]

that guy at the end made me tear up. you can tell he's a great dad to his daughter.

[pf_]

taking someone that’s on a diet to a donut shop is pure evil

[Simoncuong]

No one is going to talk about how the two sisters are called Nicole and Nicolette?

[fatimah]

Is nobody gonna talk about the two boys who were like, “wAiT WHaT DiD yOu SaY?”

[lane_love]

There’s nothing wrong with wanting your child to loose weight for health reasons, but you shouldn’t point out insecurities and not feed them.

[whatintarnation]

I could really tell the first lady was a therapist! She approached mum with so much understanding and gentleness and handled the situation like the pro she is.

I know she’s an actor but I feel bad for the girl who was being called overweight🥺. I bet the woman playing the mom felt bad after this, even though she’s just acting.

[sophiebyers]

Taking an overweight child (or someone with any age) to a dessert shop while they’re supposed to be on a diet is just cruel, rude, and impolite.

[alissahenderson]

that older guy was very smart because he knows he can’t actually do anything about the way the mother treats her, he still wanted to encourage her to keep being strong

[asmrgolden]

Respect to the guy who was being honest in a nice way

[samshadburn]

Bruh I scrolled through the comments for 10 minutes straight and nobody’s gonna talk about that old guy that told her she needed to be skinny like her sister?

[hoorkpop]

Body-shaming is one of the worst ways to hurt kids, teens or adults.
Edit : For the mast time people! I've had enough of people saying "being fat is unhealthy" "you are damaging them" what I'm saying BODY SHAMING itself hurt not saying they should stay chubby and not go on a diet I'm on a diet myself just because it more healthy! stop coming at me for God sake

[billie_eyelashez]

it’s so cute seeing everyone stuck up for her it gives me hope in humanity :)

[milanmilicevic]

I know this is an act but she’s still calling her fat like in real life 😢😢😢

[lovelylapis]

Being fat: *gets shamed*
Being skinny: *gets shamed*
Wtf

[hercreation]

it’s okay to want your child to lose weight when they’re unhealthy, but taking ur kid to a donut shop and watch their sibling eat a donut and literally pointing out their insecurities to other strangers is wrong

[haylielong]

I understand where the mom is coming from, my cousin is 200 lbs at 7 years old., but my family would never ever tell her she’s fat, or bring her into a doughnut shop but tell her no doughnuts. In our situation we aren’t worried about her physical image, but her health and mobility.

[JewishKeto]

A few months ago I weighed around 264lbs but have lost 82lbs, I know they are actors but this broke my heart and brought back tough memories for me. You can’t take a child to a sweet shop and tell her she can’t have a donut… that’s just cruel.
