Kate Winslet Accepts Libel Damages

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet accepted a weighty sum of around $40,000 in damages from the Daily Mail, the U.K. newspaper that incorrectly reported that the movie star had lied about her exercise regimen. Winslet, a critic of body image-obsessed Hollywood culture, said that her quest for an apology demonstrated her "commitment to views I have always expressed about body issues, including diet and exercise." The Titanic actress had previously won a fat settlement from a magazine that falsely reported she had visited a diet doctor. The Daily Mail's owners, Associated Newspapers, apologized for "any distress caused."

I can't stand when overweight celebrities call healthy women "too thin"
But Kate Winslet has a beautiful body. I find her breathtaking.

She is considered fat by the industry.

Perhaps by some, but she continues to appear nude so often in film, I believe many must find her aesthetically pleasing.

She is still considered chubby.
If she were a model, she would be a BBW model.
I do not like American culture.
Thank you.
