When a critic accused Whoopi Goldberg of wearing a 'distracting fat suit' in Till, the Oscar-winner took to her very popular television show
stated that Oscar-winner Whoopi Goldberg was wearing a “distracting fat suit” in the picture. The only problem is, she wasn’t. On her very popular talk show,, Goldberg reminded the critic that she doesn’t wear a fat suit in the movie. “There was a young lady who writes for one of the magazines, and she was distracted by my fat suit in her review,” Goldberg said []. “I don’t really care how you felt about the movie, but you should know that was not a fat suit. That was me.
I assume you don’t watch the show, or you would know that was not a fat suit.”Writing about an actor’s looks comes with being a critic, but sensitivity is required. The additional adjective of “distracting” no doubt made the accusation even more humiliating for Goldberg, who had very public health issues in the last few years. For her part, Goldberg’s response was more than generous, asking the writer to “leave people’s looks out” of reviews.
