Kate Hudson Blames The Press For Body Shaming Her During Her Career

Kate Hudson didn’t have it easy growing up in the spotlight. The actress blames the press for body shaming her during the early days of her career. Here’s what she has to say.

Kate Hudson Blames The Press For Body Shaming Her During Her Career

While on the Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, the celebrity mom told Kelly Ripa that it was definitely difficult for her to open up a magazine or read anything that was said about her online during the very early years of her career. Well, make that her and every other female celebrity back then. That’s because the press was just “so mean to women,” especially when it came to their body images and their personal relationships.

The actress put it this way, “I mean, the body shaming from being too skinny, to too fat, to then going up your skirt and from the cellulite.”

Kate also said that she felt as though she “couldn’t speak to a man without being partnered with him. Like, literally, I couldn’t sit and say hello to someone.”

Thankfully, Kate says that she no longer listens to the noise and instead focuses on what makes her the most happy in her life, and that’s her friends and her family.

She said, “There was so much of it at such a rate that I couldn’t in any way comprehend, that I just realized I need to figure out how to not care about any of this. You just realize that you’re letting them win the more you feel bad. If I’m going to allow this negative energy to get into me then they win. I’ve given them all my power.”

That said, Kate also opened up about her marriage plans with her fiance, Danny Fujikawa. She said, “I really want to make sure I honor Danny’s heritage and my daughter’s heritage — so we do sometimes go back and forth with a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony, which would be really beautiful and quite emotional for Danny seeing that his dad is gone.”
