Star hits out at Twitter ‘fat’ jibes
American Horror Story: Coven actress and former Oscar-nominee Gabourey Sidibe has hit back at mean-spirited tweets about her weight at the Golden Globes on Sunday.
The actress, who has stated previously that she is comfortable with her weight, wore a cream Grecian-style gown by Daniel Musto and Michael Costello to the ceremony, and was targeted by a large number of tweets from mean-spirited users.
One user wrote:"Is it just me or is gabourey sidibe really fat????"
Another chimed in with: "I get it Gabourey Sidibe you tried to do the ‘hour glass’ look in that dress. You just missed it about 10 hours."
Another commented: "Geez! She looks like the chubby ghost from Casper."
Sidibe wasn’t having any of that, and took to her own account to write:
To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I mos def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night. #JK

She later added:
Yay! Everyone is so wonderful and supportive of my shade! This might be a problem down the line. Thank you! #notmyjetthough #imnotthatfancy
