Plus Size Influencer Regrets Body Positivity Movement

Phases, Freedom & the Evolution of Body Positivity For over a decade, Gabriella Lascano built a platform rooted in self-love. In 2010, long before brand deals and viral TikToks, Lascano began posting on YouTube. She has shared that from a young age, “I always knew I was bigger.” She dreamed of being a star but believed her size would disqualify her. Online, however, she found something different: a community of plus-size women who felt empowered seeing someone who looked like them living boldly. “That just made me feel like I had a bigger purpose in what I was creating,” she said in a recent opinion video.

Watch Commentary Video GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound have reshaped beauty standards at record speed. What began as a medical intervention for diabetes and obesity has quietly morphed into a cultural reset—one where shrinking is praised, staying the same is questioned, and opting out feels like rebellion.

Why Mo’Nique Won’t “Just Get Over It” | The Untold Story Behind Her Open Letter

Mother Wounds & Public Battles: What Mo’Nique’s Open Letter Reveals About Healing, Hurt, and the Weight of Women’s Relationships When comedian and actress Mo’Nique publicly addressed Whoopi Goldberg in an emotional open letter, the internet debated contracts, Hollywood politics, and accountability. But beneath the headlines lies a deeper conversation many women understand: the long shadow of mother wounds and how unresolved pain can shape how we experience conflict with other women. The Letter That Reopened Old Conversations In early 2026, Academy Award–winning actress Mo’Nique posted a public open letter to Whoopi Goldberg revisiting their tense exchange during Mo’Nique’s 2018 appearance on The View. The discussion originally centered around Mo’Nique’s claims that she was unfairly labeled “difficult” in Hollywood after the promotion of the film Precious. Mo’Nique maintains that she fulfilled the promotional requirements in her contract, while producers and industry leaders expecte...
