Former Apprentice star Luisa Zissman recently defended her figure and fitness levels in a lengthy statement after sharing two bikini snaps from her summer holiday
Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter, Emily, was visibly moved during her recent podcast episode as she discussed Luisa Zissman’s Instagram post from last month.
The former BBC presenter had to defend herself against online trolls who body-shamed her after she posted bikini photos from her summer holiday.
The Apprentice star looked stunning in a monochrome bikini but unfortunately received a slew of negative comments about her body.
In response to the harsh criticism, Luisa posted a lengthy statement defending her physique and fitness regime, while also sharing her thoughts on unhealthy lifestyles.
Her post read: “Imagine I went round calling of you biscuit eating McDonald’s loving lazy people fatties”, before explaining that her toned body is the result of “energetic, health and mostly clean living”.
“If you got off your a***s and stopped shoving s*** in your mouths you wouldn’t be as fat and fat wouldn’t be normal,” she fired back, reports the Mirror.
“Just because the majority of people are overweight does NOT mean it’s healthy.”
She further added: “Shocking that when people see a healthy body with a healthy BMI in a healthy weight range they think it’s not normal.”
On their Should I Delete That? podcast, Emily and co-host Alex Light shared their views on GLP-1 injections and Serena Williams’ opinion on the matter.
They then referred to Luisa’s social media post, labelling it as “violently mean”. Emily, a body positivity advocate, voiced her shock, stating: “Luisa Zissman did those stories which I just thought ‘b***** hell’.
“They were horrible,” Alex chimed in, with Jeremy’s daughter concurring.
After Alex read out the BBC star’s comments in full, Emily was visibly upset, explaining why she believes such remarks can be damaging.
She asked: “So what if someone is a bit fat and likes eating biscuits, so what?”.
Tears streaming down her face, she went on: “Do you know how f****** hard it is to just be alive, and like be a good mum, and a good person and a good friend, and do all of these things, and then you get talked about, and to, like that, and I just really thought we’d moved on and I thought we lived in a place that was better than this, where we wasn’t so f****** mean.”
She continued her rant: “Thinness is not better, like you’re not better than anyone else because you didn’t have a biscuit this morning, like congratulations that you look good in a bikini!”.
“What is it they say? If the words you spoke were written on your skin, would you still be beautiful? No! You look like a f****** monster.”
When her co-star enquired if she was alright, she replied: “I’m sad, it’s just really f****** sad, what I want my kids to grow up being scared of being fat? No! I want them to grow up being scared of being mean. That’s a scary thing.”
In a bold finale, she proclaimed: “Be who the f**k you are, eat what you f****** want, live your life!”.
Alex chimed in, arguing that while it’s wrong for trolls to target Luisa’s body, she shouldn’t have “taken aim” at those “living in larger bodies”.
“It’s just really mean isn’t it,” Emily concurred, agreeing with her co-star that it was “violently mean”.
