She spoke with The Guardian and was asked about the press coverage over the years and Joan Rivers “If she just lost 5lb, Leo would’ve been able to fit on the raft.” comment
Yes, In my 20s, people would

Is she also still trying to figure out if she's a Woody Allen supporter or what

[analievelyn]

she says she regrets working with both of them, but her comments were really weak imo

[bellapisces]

Honestly, that whole 180° she did last year was insulting. Oh, nowwwww she regrets working with him? It's disingenuous as f***, considering she spent the entire 2018 awards season publicly lauding him in her campaign to get an Oscar nomination for their flop movie. And she can't feign ignorance 'cause Dylan Farrow published her open letter three years before Kate Winslet happily chose to work with Woody Allen.

She definitely didn't mind working with them after finding out that they are pedophiles, which has been public for years

That Joan Rivers quote is disgusting.

She was stunning and perfect in that movie

[rara8777]

Joan Rivers was trash.

I partially blame Kate Moss.

The 90s were a tough time for normal-to-larger bodied women (myself included) compared to now.

[bellwetherr]

lol you can't blame kate moss, but you can blame the powers that be that heralded her as the second coming of the female ideal.

[tigirah]

Sorry, but I can. as I said, partially.

She was the face of heroin chic and she profited greatly on her petite body type being the ideal form of the time, despite being wildly unrealistic for the majority of women.

[bellwetherr]

every model profits off their body, it's literally the point of the job. but her body was generally not all that different from twiggy's decades earlier. it's all the same shit repackaged to fit the era and the trends.

I remember hearing that James Cameron called her “Kate Weighs-alot” on the set of Titanic, because apparently she gained two or three pounds while filming.

[jemgirl90]

I heard Kate whines a lot. who knows.

[zoaster_toaster]

I remember how the press treated her like she was morbidly obese when she had a perfectly healthy curvy body and I can't imagine what that has done to her psyche.

[caramelaffair]

Yeah I remember my stepdad even making jokes about her weight when watching the Titanic and I honestly couldn't then or now see what the hell people were talking about. Even at the premiere she looked fine. She wasn't fat, just on the thick side. But definitely not fat. That was like the first sign for me as a kid that the world really doesn't like women who aren't just straight up thin
