1. In a recent Instagram post, Amanda Bynes wrote, "I once did a movie where the director told me that in certain lights, I looked like a monster."
6. Jennifer Lawrence said in 2017 that earlier in her career, she was asked to lose 15 pounds in two weeks by a producer. "During this time, a female producer had me do a nude line-up with about five women who were much, much thinner than me. We all stood side-by-side with only tape on covering our privates," she explained.
When Jennifer tried to tell another producer that the demand was unreasonable, he replied by saying that he didn't know why people thought Jennifer was "so fat" when he thought she was "perfectly fuckable."
7. Amy Schumer was asked to lose weight for her own movie, Trainwreck. “The only change was that it was explained to me before I did that movie [was] that if you weigh over 140 pounds as a woman in Hollywood, if you’re on the screen it will hurt people’s eyes,” she said back in 2016.
10. Chloë Grace Moretz said she was body-shamed by a male costar when she was just 15 and he was mid-20s. "This guy that was my love interest was like, 'I'd never date you in real life,' and I was like, 'What?' And he was like, 'Yeah, you're too big for me,'" she explained in 2017. "It was one of the only actors that ever made me cry on set."
12. Debra Messing said a few years ago that, on the set of the movie A Walk in the Clouds in 1995, director Alfonso Arau told her, "How quickly can we get a plastic surgeon in here? Her nose is ruining my movie." She further alleged that the director made her do an unplanned nude scene.
