If you Google images of "Elle Magazine Covers," you'll finds lots of covers featuring skinny women wearing tight outfits or low-cut dresses, showing lots of skin. In fact, you'll have a hard time finding anything else.
So when Elle magazine offered the cover to Melissa McCarthy (The Heat, Bridesmaids) for its "The Women in Hollywood" issue, many were happy to see a bigger woman finally chosen for the cover. But now that the magazine has unveiled a look at it, we see that the actress is wearing a heavy coat that's covering almost every inch of her.
Critics immediately attacked Elle for their wardrobe decision, but the magazine says that McCarthy had lots of input into what she would be wearing. "Melissa loved this look, and is gorgeous on our cover," said Elle.
Take a look at the cover below and let us know if the magazine should be ashamed for covering up McCarthy.
They should be ashamed for putting her on the cover. Period!
I can't f*cking stand this unfunny irl Miss Piggy, she's terrible.
A wise choice indeed !!
Bullit beat me to it.
When will people stop with forcing everyone to accept fat people? Everyone's up in arms if a girl is slightly underweight on one of these magazine covers, but they cream their pants when they get some 250lb cow on the cover.
She's fat, we get it and it's still not funny.
Well f*cking said kickit! I'm sick of it!
You know what, and I hate to sound like a f*cking preacher here, but I am fine with people being who they are and all. That's great. But encouraging the idea of being overweight as something to be PROUD of it horrible! You know what will come from it! This girl will die by the age of 50 and that what role model will she be! She's funny enough, way better than the idiot Rebel Wilson, but holy sh*t like really people are mad an obese woman was paraded around?! f*cking ridiculous people. Fine be proud to be who you are, but when actual health issues fall with your lifestyle, don't f*cking promote it to other people.
Yeah, they should've treated her like every other actress on a magazine cover...just dress her up in a skimpy outfit and photoshop the f*ck out of her until she's impossibly perfect in a way that makes young girls develop eating disorders and yearn to commit suicide.
Dreamcast, just because you love fatties doesn't mean everyone else has to. No one's advocating eating disorders, but we're not advocating obesity either.
Actually, those hypocritical bastards from Elle mag should definitely have that annoying fatso taken pics of her just like every other girls before and that would have been epically fun!
Show to the max how the annoying c*nt really looks like in a skimpy outfit.
They actually got her to fit on the cover?!!?
The article says Melissa McCarthy, so why am I looking at Roseanne Barr?
That's not a coat, it's a parachute.
watched The Heat. This movie made me hate life even more.
Rebel Wilson is actually 1000x funnier than Melissa McCarthy Sleuth, so you are wrong there.
Are you kidding me? She's a female, Aussie version of Russell Brand! She does gross out comedy, over-uses her accent as a running joke, and not to mention she is a one trick pony.
Guess if they showed anything else they would havr been criticized for airbrushing out all the cottage cheese.
how long did it take to airbrush out all the skintags?
Like I said before, I think funny girls, no matter their looks, put blood in my d*ck, but I gotta say my feeling for McCarthy's roles lately have left me...how do you say?...flaccid.
But she did get screwed over with that cover. Showing only her face?! That was a f*cking slap-in-the-face...then why put her on the cover in the first place!! Plus more than half of the readers HAVE McCarthy's body anyway!! Putting her in an unimaginative, body long overcoat?!! This thing looks like the "I'm not racist!! I rrttrmake small talk at work with a black guy..." kinda feel.
lol...a bunch of "guys" arguing over a fat chick on the cover of a woman's magazine...good one, Alex, you f*cking stooge.
Melissa Mcarthy = Fat Hitler.
