In a recent interview, Chelsea Clinton recalls the harmful body-shaming comments of her childhood.
There was one particular Republican pundit who was particularly nasty to her: Rush Limbaugh. “The most infamous, but not the only, and yet, I never internalized that,” she explained. “It was weird. I was 12, and there are these older men pontificating about how a 12-year-old looks, is weird, at best. It’s really disgusting and cruel.”segment where former First Daughter Jenna Hager Bush talked about keeping weight remarks off the table with her own kids.
Chelsea believes her parents did a good job of protecting her in those crucial early teen years when her dad was running for office, but she found it strange that “there were all sorts of largely older white men, commenting on my looks, on my weight, on my appearance.” But because she had a “sense of self,” Chelsea understood that greatest lesson of all. “That’s about them. That’s not about me,” she summed up.
