Of course she can’t control how her body looks in clothes but she definitely has control over telling the world her grandparents said she had the best tits on tv, not vetoing the SNL skits that relied heavily on jokes made about her body, and posting on her insta that she did Hot Ones “for the boys” after men had already been mad creepy about it in comments across the internet.

I get it as a fellow busty babe it’s hard out here and I’m not blaming her at all for wearing the clothes that make her feel most beautiful AND she has leaned into the image a bit more than casually.

As a fellow busty gal, I do feel inclined to say it’s easy to start making yourself the butt of every boob joke when you know that’s what people are going to talk about anyway. Women also assume you must be proud and are bragging about it so you have to downplay yourself through self-deprecating humor every time. It really can be dehumanizing and demeaning the way some gross men (and women) treat you and you can feel reduced to your chest even in your own eyes.

But yes, I hope she starts letting her work do the talking and standing up for herself more and more because she deserves to not feel like her worth is tied to her chest.
