‘Mad Men’ star hurt by weight jabs
Mad Men star Christina Hendricks was hurt by the negative reaction to her voluptuous figure in the fashion press – insisting the comments left a “bad taste in her mouth”.
The ravishing red-head showed off her curves in a lavish ball gown at last month’s Golden Globes ceremony.
A New York Times style critic was forced to apologize after writing, “big girls shouldn’t wear big dresses”. The blogger later insisted the photograph of Hendricks had been accidentally distorted.
The actress was stunned by the talk about her weight – and she’s urging reporters to focus on her performances rather than her dress size.
She tells New York Magazine, “It kind of hurt my feelings at first. Anytime someone talks about your figure constantly, you get nervous, you get really self-conscious. I was working my butt off on the show, and then all anyone was talking about was my body! It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.”
