I knew Howard Stern was going to catch heat for his comments made on his radio station. I am just surprised it took this long. Howard made horrible jokes about Gabourey being way to big and that she will not be casted in any more movies. However I said that was not the case anyways for the fact that she had other projects line up. Gabourey’s Mom spoke out and basically in a nutshell she didn’t care about what he had to say ending with – “They didn’t make you so don’t let them break you.”

If there is truth in his statements, it is that Hollywood does not have a great history of selecting women of color-let alone women who are her size. While she may have work-who is offering it to her? I would guess Tyler Perry will. But will mainstream Hollywood embrace her? While I don’t care Stern’s tone or cynicism, I think his comments are as much an indictment of the movie industry and its limited standards as it is a slam on Sidibe.
