Some of us want to be shamed! When I was in law school, I was gaining weight, I said to my stepfather, “If you see me going into that kitchen one more time, you say, ‘Where you going, fat ass?’” And it works!

— Megyn Kelly, revealing her secret to remaining thin while she attended Albany Law School, during a segment on body-shaming on her eponymous “Today” talk show yesterday. In today’s episode of the show, Kelly explained that she no longer supports such body-shaming, noting, “Close to forty percent of Americans are obese. They need support, they need kindness and one thing they definitely do not need is to be body-shamed. I said something yesterday on the show that clearly struck a nerve, and I think it’s a conversation we need to have openly. We were discussing body-shaming others, something I absolutely do not support. In fact, quite the opposite.”
