Scarlett Johansson is ripping into the tabloids who are claiming that she lost over 14 pounds for a movie role. And she's pretty pissed off.
Claims have been made that I've been on a strict workout routine regulated by co-stars, whipped into shape by trainers I've never met, eating sprouted grains I can't pronounce and ultimately losing 14 pounds off my 5'3" frame. If I were to lose 14 pounds, I'd have to part with both arms. And a foot. I'm frustrated with the irresponsibility of tabloid media who sell the public ideas about what we should look like and how we should get there. I get into and stay in shape by eating a proper diet and maintaining a healthy amount of exercise. The press should be held accountable for the false ideals they sell to their readers regarding body image -- that's the real weight of the issue. There is no magic wand to wave over oneself to look good in a latex catsuit. Eating healthy and getting fit is about commitment, determination, consistency and the dedication to self-preservation. would be absolutely mortified to discover that some 15-year-old girl in Kansas City read one of these articles and decided she wasn't going to eat for a couple of weeks so she too could "crash diet" and look like Scarlett Johansson.
Makes me REAL glad I never posted anything about that. But she hit it right on the head as far as the media trying to control how people should look.
