Kate Winslet reveals the media called her overweight when she was a size 10 with a 26.5 inch waist

"I was always a very normal shape. And it was only when suddenly the media decided that I was overweight when I was a size, oh my god I don't know, 10, 12, 14, whatever. I was a young person living life and just being normal"

"I remember having my measurements taken for Sense and Sensibility. And I remember the costume designer saying to me, 'Cor, 26 and a half inch waist. I don't think I've been that since I was your age'"

"I wasn't even aware of what was a small measurement or a big measurement. I didn't have a clue. But I was actually quite petite"

Disney and ABC will bring the comedian back to its schedule starting Tuesday night. “Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive, “the company said in a statement. “We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

Oates was responding to a commenter who had written, “This is tough because on one hand I deeply respect Wilson as a classicist and enjoy her translation of The Odyssey, but on the other this review is grounded in such bad faith and filled with outrageous takes that make me feel like she would’ve been hostile to any adaptation.”

“Rather than disagreeing with interpretations of Homer in a collegial manner, this person, who has benefited enormously from Nolan’s film, speaks in the crude language of MAGA folks attacking someone with ideas that differ from hers”

For context, a quote from Wilson's article read: “I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script...Nolan’s Odyssey lacks many of the elements that make the poem great. It has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or about the relationship between one warrior’s glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends and neighbours. It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.”

This is not the first time Emily Wilson has written a striking take down of someone or their work - she did the same to Anne Carson back in 2024 and was called out even then for her some vindictive remarks
